I don't. I love the diversity and character of west bluff. Just be aware of your surroundings and don't put yourself in dangerous situations... like hanging out on a street corner at 2am looking for drugs. I don’t want to make it sound like I feel unsafe.

The man asked to use my cell phone. I felt bad saying no, but I was really afraid he would take it and run away. And, unfortunately, even an inebriated, emaciated homless guy probably runs faster than I do. I went to Big Lots on Sterling that same day and got panhandled for "$2.85 for a gallon of gas." I should have asked the dude where he buys his gas, I want in on it, sadly $2.85 sounds cheap. The guy was really pushy and seemed more of a con artist than a typical beggar.

Like an unlawful no no. You can add possible identity thieves to your long list of campustown encounters.

Sounds weird, but, I miss it. That Amoco is a very special place. I'm not even crazy about using that CECFCU ATM in the parking lot. See strange people wander by the car.
