Title: Downtown Begging
Post by: jay on May 09, 2013, 02:04:48 PM
I've received reports that several people are begging for money in downtown Youngstown.  It's just going to discourage people from patronizing downtown businesses.


Phil and Susie were not the beggars. ;D

LOL!

Yes, I've run across a person that I think might be a "professional" beggar.  She was moderately well dressed, claimed to be visiting a daughter living in an apartment near MVR, claimed to have run out of gas, and needed some money to get gas.  She is a good Christian person, never does this kind of thing, and would gladly mail your money back to you, if you give her your address.  I fell for it the first time, but not the second.

Purple man is my favorite from way back.  He is known to prey on the new, everytime I see him he has this look of crap it's him again.  I like him though, I go into my groove mode and jive with him , he always seems to try to get away from me.
"Wazup ? WTF holmes, c'mon give the brotha Man!"  Also, I smoke Filipino affordable cigars and a cigar smoker sets the stogie down when entering an establishment.  Now I have to look around to see if I'm being followed.  My Cigar buts are a hot item downtown.  One afternoon I saw purple man puffing on the cigar I hid outside of the City hall hoping to retrieve it for my walk to my truck.  I said "bro is it good, he answered is it Cuban?"
