It is like feeding the pigeons they are always around because people are feeding them. They have no reason to go to another area as long as they can get what they want where they are. They are able to get there money and change that allows them to get drugs and booze. Why would they leave. We need to give them a reason to and stop feeling sorry for these people.

I read this blog post and instantly thought of the perpetual tagging on Bongo Room's windows, the guy who rolls out a dirty towel on Wabash, selling household items like toothpaste and combs like it was some sort of openair bazzar, and the line of classy individuals sitting along the Jewel eating and drinking beer while openly harassing passing women. <br /><br /> Just last night after exiting onto Roosevelt at 11:30 pm and crossing to Wabash by the BP, a looked to see a man literally started screaming at a car as it drove away. I became a bit on edge, and crossed the street towards the Jewel to hopefully avoid this maniac. I am walking south on Wabash when all of a sudden I see the same guy sprinting towards me, avoiding a passing car to do so. He walks right up to me, puts his hand on my shoulder and started asking me for money. I told him no, and kept walking but he kept his hand on me and I told him NO with some choice words added. He started screaming at me but I kept walking. As I turned to look back, I could see him running towards a pair of men walking by the Dunkin Donuts. <br /><br />My point to all of this is I think any business to open up in the area by the Roosevelt stop is foolish. Before we worry about adding businesses, we should solve the problem of panhandlers, criminals, and people that have no business in our neighborhood, especially those who want to do harm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
