I dunno why but it seems like I get harassed by panhandlers once a week. Most of the time I wear a shirt and tie so I guess panhandlers will assume I have money to flash around. I can now completely understand why business people avoid the Gore Park area.

Once a week I park near the McMaster downtown campus across from YMCA. Most of the time when I walk to my car I'll get a panhandler begging for money, one time the guy followed me to my car, scared me a bit (walked quickly and got in my car and locked the doors immediately). I think they come from the GO Station, they probably walk towards Gore Park once everyone stepped out of the GO Train.
