Run away! Run away!

Since I started working in downtown Chicago again nearly 3 years ago there have been groups of people soliciting help (donations) for Save The Children up and down Michigan Avenue. Walking back from lunch yesterday two were outside the Nordstrom's Mall. One approached a pedestrian walking south. The guy made and exaggerated sidestep around the solicitor. The Save The Children dude stepped up to his coworker and said, "It's like we've got the plaque. People are running away from us."
