CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas Earlier this week, 3News reported on a ten city that had been set up in downtown Corpus Christi.
The huge homeless tent city was nowhere near any visible bathroom or showering facilities. It was setup along W. Broadway St. and Parkers alley just down the street from Solomon Coles High School.
City councilman Mike Pusley said the city has known about this tent city for sometime. He said the city has been trying to decide what to do about the problem.
