But as I started to make my way to the former Tina Watkins Washette on Highway 45 North in Columbus, Miss., another element came to life – the Hidden Homeless – driven from the open, seeking to hide from the waking hours. The bench at the

It was, in fact, discovered by explorers searching for new territories for their monarchs. Christopher Columbus was credited with discovering a New World for the Spaniard royals who had commissioned his expertise in exploration and navigation of the seas.
