Weird signs of the times

So, if you read my blog, you know I've experienced some harsh reality in my travels and business. The last few weeks have been pretty calm, but sometimes things get pretty hairy when you're an itinerant cartoonist with health problems in the heart of the city. Today, before I started working, I saw a sign that said something like: "Avoid getting robbed. Robbery is known to happen here. " and then went down a list of things to do to avoid robbery. It was printed by the police department. Really, sort of scary. Obviously, some parts of our city need some help.
