I work in Times Square and cannot stand that every block I walk on I have to be solicited by these Street Talk guys. As the New York Post has reported, this organization is the newest scam created by the founders of the now-defunct United Homeless Organization (UHO). The UHO raked in thousands of dollars that went toward personal shopping sprees.
Not one penny you give to these guys goes to the people you think it will go to.
Not one penny.
So don't feel guilty when you walk past them, and they yell out at you, "Won't you donate a few pennies for the homeless?" "How are you doing today, ma'am?" "How about you with the pretty sunglasses?" "...or the pretty smile?"
Just walk on by and continue to enjoy Times Square.
