Adams Morgan mourns a man who died homeless, steps from his childhood home

Miguel Gonzales spent his life in Adams Morgan. He grew up in a condominium on Adams Mill Road. He attended Oyster-Adams middle school and played basketball at Walter Pierce Park. He worked as a porter at a hotel a short walk across the Calvert Street Bridge.

After he lost his job, the woman who raised him died, and their condominium was foreclosed on, he slept on streets in the neighborhood, living in or near Adams Morgan Plaza.
