Hill Street Blues

"Frank", one of regular characters used to come in and borrow a couple of quarters to use the pay phone.  Now, we don't normally hand out change to panhandlers but he was an exception.  After a particularly long day of hanging outside and drinking himself senseless, "Frank" would compose himself enough to call a taxi to take him 'to the hill' to the State mental facility so he could get a good night's sleep and sober up.
