We quickly stopped so I could run over and take a picture of the plaque. We had planned to also stop at the functioning A&W, but we were both so nauseated by the tent cities, trash and people leaving garbage that we quickly left Lodi. We just didn't feel safe. We know and help homeless weekly. Lodi could hold them to a higher standard.
