South-West Corner of Washington Square Park
 I was walking west on Washington Square North along the new construction fence that has closed off a majority of the park. There I saw “smoke, smoke… smoke” guy hitting me up. I was shocked and wondered why he would be walking on the north side of the park away from his “office” the chess table area. Then when I get to the southern portion, I see the cops parked in the middle of the chess tables. 85% of the park is closed off for construction, but the ‘cleaning’ of the park is already happening.
