PROVIDENCE A trash-strewn parking lot sandwiched between La Gigantes Meat Market and a pawn shop on Elmwood Avenue has been home for the last two months for Matthew Roberts, his girlfriend and dog.
Roberts has paid at least $100 a week and done work for the market’s owner in exchange for parking his 1992 Ford Econoline RV on the dirt lot. He s been told, though, that at the end of the month it s time to move on. Once again, Roberts will be in search of a safe place to park.
“I can’t find anywhere to go. Even friends and family don’t want us there,” said Roberts, 40.
