Trust me, panhandling is very uncomfortable, if you are the victim!
I have been approached many times .....the first couple times I gave money.
Then I realized the hard luck story was nearly the same every time
In our fair city it has happened in retail parking lots as well as busy intersections with a median at traffic lights. Sorry, most of these folks
make lots of money begging, more profitable than actually working!!
It's been many years since I was in St Louis. WEC location was fine in years past but neighborhoods change.
Twenty years in same house and believe me___Our area just aint the same
