Recent study shows drifter traffic on the rise in east Tangiers.
A study conducted by the National Society for Homeless Prevention shows that the number of vagrants passing through the east Tangiers area has grown, despite national trends showing drops in the number of homeless. This statistic is further anomalous as the number of trains transporting goods through east Tangiers has dropped substantially and the rail yard lies almost entirely dormant. What this excess of homeless population is doing east Tangiers or where they are going from here was beyond the realm of the study. Crime rates within the city limits have not shown oddities given recent trends and there does not seem to be any reason for the populace to be concerned.
When local vagrant legend Danning Flaminco was approached for comment he just smiled and tipped his reeking top hat, refusing to add any exact statement.

I wanted to make a joke about an art institute in Tangiers adding a new wing, or incorporating a new field of study (say, Collage), or switching from a six-month to a two-year program, and how those aren't really drifters people are seeing more of, but rather northern New England's brand of hipsters, but ultimately couldn't communicate the joke I was going for. And so it appears I'm posting this, whatever this is, instead. And anonymously, at that. Sad. Just sad.
The earlier anonymous seems to be suffering partially from the same troubles that we here in Boulder are feeling. We would like to comment more fully on the East Tangiers blog, however, we only have brief moments of wit, and these are usually wasted on each other. Furthermore, we have recently found ourselves in the midst of a vampire hunt and are therefore rather busy. Be that as it may we did want to contribute a little, so this is it.- the Boulderites
