Baltimore Ave. is pretty lax too — a kid openly threatens employees and neighbors outside the Sunoco at 45th, drawing a police response/search for maybe a day, then feels comfortable returning the next to “help” people pump gas for $$. Don’t believe for a moment that any of the people there are “homeless.” They just know how to exploit clueless people who think they’re helping the downtrodden.
