Description
Ward 3 Councilman Larry McAtee program features The Curbside Chronicle, a new magazine that's helping the City's homeless in many ways.
A

C
The
vision
of
the
kryptsi
chronicle
has
three
main
points.
The
first
main
goal
is
to
employ
the
homeless
through
the
sale
of
the
magazine.
The
second
goal
is
to
empower
the
homeless
by
giving
them
a
voice
within
the
magazine,
and
the
third
goal
is
to
help
community
relations
between
the
homeless
and
the
non-homeless,
by
providing
a
safe
and
comfortable
environment
for
interaction
between
the
two
groups.
A
B
B
Going
pretty
well,
we
had
a
really
strong
launch,
probably
one
of
the
best
in
the
history
of
street
papers
in
in
the
country.
They've
slowed
down
a
little
bit
since
then
we
had,
we
had
really
strong
sales
to
the
launch
party.
We
had
really
great
attendance,
but
we're
looking
up.
We've
done
really
well
this
week
and
we're
adding
on
more
and
more
vendors.
Every
day
we
have
more
people
approaching
us
wanting
to
sell.
So
it's
looking
good
yeah
now.
C
The
model
behind
street
papers
and
the
cribside
chronicle
is
that
it
is
a
way
to
help
employ
the
homeless
and
help
transition
them
back
into
other
employment.
And
so
you
take
people
who
are
homeless,
who
are
on
the
streets
who
aren't
in
employment,
and
you
give
them
their
first
15
magazines
for
free
which
they
sell
for
the
suggested
donation
of
two
dollars.
And
they
keep
that.
But
then,
after
that,
they
have
to
buy
each
magazine
for
75
cents,
and
then
they
continue
to
sell
them
for
two
dollars.
C
So
they
make
1.25
off
of
each
magazine
and
they
keep
all
of
that
profit.
And
the
idea
is
that
they
can
use
this
to
help
gain
skills
like
setting
a
schedule
and
being
on
time
and
interacting
with
customers
to
help
build
these
skills
up
that
they're
going
to
need
whenever
we
help
them
transition
into
subsequent
employment.
B
Yeah
every
week
we
actually
have
a
meeting
this
afternoon
at
1
00
p.m.
Every
wednesday
at
1
pm
we
meet
and
vendors
just
kind
of
get
together,
and
they
let
us
know
how
it's
going,
who
we
might
need
to
talk
to
businesses
we
might
be
able
to
get
into
selling
so
just
kind
of
like
feedback
from
them
and
feedback
from
us.
C
We
work
with
the
homeless
alliance
and
off
northwest
4th
in
virginia,
and
so
the
day
center
is
where
we
get
most
of
our
vendors
from,
but
we
also
have
started
driving
around
and
talking
to.
Panhandlers
and
panhandlers
have
started
to
approach
us
because
we
really
see
this
as
just
a
positive
alternative
to
panhandling.
A
Well,
that's
one
of
the
things
that
really
intrigued
me,
as
I
mentioned
to
you
off
camera.
In
my
ward,
I
have
a
large
number
of
panhandlers
and
some
of
the
public
has
a
negative
impact
towards
those
people,
and
you
have
an
experience
from
nashville
whitley.
What
happened
in
nashville,
with
the
with
the
growth
of
their
version
of
the
chronicle
and
how
did
it
impact
panhandling
over
there
yeah.
A
B
Yes,
sir,
go
ahead
and
they
sell
120
000
copies
a
month,
and
so
there
I
actually
became
a
freshman.
At
the
same
time
they
were
kind
of
rising
in
the
ranks
of
street
papers.
They
went
from
10
000
sales
a
month
in
january,
2010
to
120
000
a
month
in
december.
So
I
was
there
right
in
the
middle
around
august,
when
I
started
that
they're
really
rising
in
their
sales
and
increasing
their
workforce
more
and
more
homeless.
B
And
a
lot
of
these
I
would
occasionally
see
a
panhandler
transition
into
a
vendor
who
is
selling
their
paper
and
naturally
you
really
can't
find
panhandler
every
once
in
a
while,
if
you're
out
late
at
night
in
downtown,
you
might
run
across
one.
But
I
would
say
in
the
three
years
I've
been
there.
I've
maybe
encountered
five
panhandlers,
but
I've
encountered
just
dozens
and
dozens
of
the
vendors
and
and
the
thing
is
they've
realized
that
they
can
get
more
respect
from
the
community.
A
Now
is
there
economic
model
similar
to
the
one
here?
In
other
words,
they
get
the
first
15
free.
They
sell
those
for
two
dollars
each
and
then
they
take
that
and
they
reinvest
that
for
what
75
cents
an
issue
and
then
they
pocket
the
the
profit
off
of
the
difference
between
the
selling
price
and
that
well.
A
B
B
It's
a
little
bit
different,
but
it's
a
newspaper
there,
which
is
a
little
bit
cheaper
to
print.
We
decided
to
go
with
a
magazine
format
because
we
thought
it
would
allow
for
a
lot
more
content,
a
lot
more
visually
appealing,
and
we
also
thought
that
it
would
create
more
value
in
the
product
that
would
be
better
perceived
by
the
community.
A
But
the
same
thing
is
true
that,
to
the
respect
that
I
go
out
and
I
sell,
then
I
make
more
money,
and
that
gives
me
a
greater
greater
income
and
then
helps
me
to
transition,
maybe
from
homeless,
back
into
the
mainstream
yeah.
Well,
that's
fantastic!
Now!
How
about
the
content?
I've
read
the
first
edition,
but
how
about
the
content?
What's
in?
What's
in
the
oklahoma
city,
curbside
chronicle.
C
Yeah
we
have
a
50
50
split
with
our
content.
Half
of
our
content
just
takes
form
like
a
general
interest
magazine.
We
cover
local
cuisine,
local
new
businesses,
interesting
people
in
the
community
that
we
interview
and
then
the
other
50
is
the
empowering
aspect
of
the
magazine
and
those
articles
are
written
by
the
homeless
and
about
the
homeless
community,
and
so
we
have
homeless
writers
who
can
write
about
anything
they
want.
C
In
our
first
issue,
we
had
I'm
homeless,
not
dogless,
article
about
the
importance
of
dogs
in
the
homeless
community,
and
we
had
one
of
our
vendors
smiley
write
about
just
his
favorite
pastime
in
oklahoma
city,
which
is
the
underground
tunnels,
which
is
where
he
likes
to
to
get
around.
If
people
don't
know
about
it,
and
then
we
also
have
agencies
that
work
with
the
homeless
write
about
just
issues
within
the
homeless
community.
We
had
positive
tomorrows
write,
an
issue
about
what
homelessness
looks
like
for
children
and
in
education.
A
B
Yeah,
that
was
his
name
is
danny
harris
he's
a
former
actually
number
one
in
the
world.
At
one
point,
400
meter
hurdler.
He
won
a
silver
medal
in
the
1984
olympics
at
the
age
of
18.,
so
very
young.
He
he
gained
this
fame
as
a
very
naturally
talented
athlete,
and
we
ended
up
doing
an
interview
with
him
and
what
had
happened
is
that
he
threw
this
fame
and
not
knowing
how
to
handle
it.
B
He
had
all
these
people
surrounding
him
cheering
him
on,
but
no
one
telling
him
how
to
handle
the
money
and
all
the
acclaim,
and
so
he
ended
up
developing
a
cocaine,
addiction
and
actually
got
banned
from
the
sport.
For
that
and
then
he
became
homeless
and
actually
ended
up
going
to
rehab
on
skid
row
became
sober,
and
now
he
actually
is
a
manager
at
the
rehab
where
he
became
sober,
has
been
sober
for
seven
years.
So
it's
kind
of
a
success
story
about
this
athlete
kind
of
showing
you
know
homelessness.
B
A
A
B
You
can
go
online
thecurbsidechronicle.org
and
we
actually
have
an
advertising
tab
on
our
website
and
we
have
a
spreadsheet
of
all
of
our
advertising
prices
and
you
can
advertise
anywhere
from
a
business
size,
ad
business
card
size
ad
or
a
full
page.
You
can
get
the
back
page
if
you
want,
depending
on
where
you
want
the
placement
and
how
large
it
is
and
how
often
you
run
determines
the
price,
but
our
prices
are
actually
incredibly
competitive.
B
There's
no
other
publication
in
oklahoma
state.
That's
going
to
beat
our
prices
in
terms
of
audience
in
terms
of
price
magazines
are
are
viewed
on
average
by
two
and
a
half
people,
whereas
a
newspaper
is
viewed
by
one
person.
So
when
you
place
an
ad
with
us,
you're
going
to
be
much
more
visible
with
the
copies
that
are
being
produced.
A
A
A
B
So
we're
actually
a
nonprofit
under
the
homeless
alliance,
so
they
provide
us
office
space
and
have
just
been
really
great
in
the
launch
of
this.
So
the
best
way
would
be
to
actually
donate
to
the
homeless
alliance
designating
the
money
to
us.
They
they
run
the
all
of
our
donations
through
their
account,
so
they
can
write
the
tax
donations
and
make
a
deductible,
so
the
best
way
would
would
be
to
go
on
our
website.
A
Now
one
thing
that
you
mentioned
and
we
just
kind
of
glossed
over.
I
you're
saying
like
this
afternoon,
you're
having
a
meeting
with
your
vendors
you're,
giving
your
vendors
some
life
skills
is
that
correct,
that'll
help
them
be
successful
as
they
continue
their
journey
through
life,
whether
they
continue
as
a
vendor
for
the
curbside
chronicle
or
where
they
get
another
job.
A
Well,
that's
fantastic!
That's
fantastic!
I
really
really
appreciate
you
all
taking
time
out
of
your
schedule
to
come
down
and
talk
with
our
viewers
today
and
folks
out
there.
I
hope
you've
caught
the
passion
that
whitley
and
ryan
you
have.
There
are
individuals
out
there
who
need
some
hope
and
need
a
way
to
put
that
hope
into
action
and
you
are
giving
them
that
opportunity.
A
So
if
you
see
in
the
next
few
weeks
ahead
in
the
next
months
ahead,
people
selling
the
curbside
chronicle
now
you
know
what
it's
going
for
and
it's
got
a
great
vision
and
a
great
future
ahead.
Thank
you
for
coming.
May
god
bless
each
of
you
as
you
continue
to
help
those
who
are
less
fortunate
than
us,
and
may
god
bless
you
in
your
life
as
you
go
forward
and
catch
the
same
vision
of
helping
others
that
whitley
and
rony
have
had.
Thank
you
for.
