In the second episode of "Throwaways: Shadows at the Crossroads," we delve deep into the world of the truck stop hustler, a figure as misunderstood as they are stigmatized. 'Lot Lizards' is the term that has echoed through the trailer parks and late-night rest stops of America — not as a badge of honor, but as a label born out of mockery and perpetuated by stereotypes. These aren't the glamourous scenes from far...

"Throwaways: Echoes from the Edge," the seventh episode of our series, presents a raw and empathetic look at the life of the individuals often dismissed as 'lot lizards.'
