“Charles Bradley was temporarily down on his luck last Saturday, his payday postponed, so he walked five miles for a hot dog and some human kindness. Bradley’s stop under the blue tent in a downtown law firm’s parking lot was his first. But for others — the chronically homeless, the permanently out-of-work — the every Saturday hot dog lunch is a weekly lifeline. ‘Being here allows them to know somebody cares,’ said C.J.
