Ok this isn't all that current but I thought it was interesting and relevent during the Holiday Season.

For three or four years that's where the homeless man lived. Actually, he lived under Lake Shore Drive, in a wooden shack built into the beams and girders of the drawbridge that crosses the Chicago River.

On Sunday, Dorsay was evicted from his home after another man arrested in suburban Streamwood told police about him.

The reason it was linked on Gibson's blog is that this kind of 'interstitial living' plays a significant role in a couple of his novels.
