Mercy Street
by Jennifer Haigh
Claudie has been working at the Mercy Street Clinic for almost ten years. Mercy street is in the middle of the city in an area that used to be the Red Light district, but with gentrification, the block has changed. Women in need of assistance frequent Mercy Street daily as do vocal protestors. As passionate as Claudia is about the work that she does, there are people out there as passionate as taking the clinic down. She manages her anxiety with pot from her dealer, Timothy, who, like Mercy Street, includes a hodge podge of characters with various belief systems.
