You'll be glad to know that the Hobo News is still doing great today. It's now called "L'Itinéraire" and it's published by former hobos and sold by current hobos who also write the occasional article and poem.

@Yudith: I'm glad to hear that, in the current climate, hobos still manage to survive. Long may they. But for chance, I might have been one.
