I didn't say panhandling was just around military bases. I've lived in many states. It is more prevalent in warmer climates. This particular area has had many issues with this. It was all over the news and involved law enforcement when the ban was put in place.

juni ~ It happens (panhandlers) everywhere. I used to go to a specific gas station near my employment (then a major university and teaching hospital) but stopped because the police would not stop the scary panhandlers that would approach you while you were pumping your gas. I had some weird experiences there! About a month after I stopped frequenting the station, a panhandler scared an elderly woman. She stepped on the gas to leave quickly, not realizing her car was in reverse. She drove right through the station/store front window and people were injured. So not just around military bases.

MamaBear...Can you imagine what it was like before when the cops didn't stop the panhandlers! There was an entire camp in the woods! I once saw about 10 people around a fire. I see two types of panhandlers. The ones lately in the parking lots don't look homeless. Then of course are the ones who look like they've been on the streets for a long time.
The street out the front gate of Corry is Chief's Way. This is along Navy Blvd. and New Warrington. This area has most of the abandoned buildings.
I live along highway 98 out the back gate of Corry and there aren't many abandoned buildings along this part. There is much more open space and trees in this area.
Oh, and there was that officer involved shooting in Boomerz which is just outside the front gate where that hotel is.

I have used the following online shopping sources to send things to my son; amazon.com (free shipping), Kohls.com (sales and free or $.99 shipping), and JCPenny.com (sales & free shipping). He enjoyed receiving a nice new pillow, cozy blanket, books, vitamins, candy, etc. Each package was a surprise! : ) ~ kk

juni ~ I remember when that hit the news. It was not long before my son PIR'd. We discussed it when I went to visit last month. The intersection of Navy Blvd. and the street that proceeds from the front gates of Corry (sorry can't recall the name), has several panhandlers. We had a woman with a child come up to the car window to panhandle. There are many areas of abandon businesses along 98. These are a distance from the gates.
So Ivan took away all but one of the phone boots at Corry? - lol

There was a shooting at the McDonald's right across from the gate a while ago but they knew who was involved in that. Also the Sonic and the Shrimp basket were robbed. It is no wonder those buildings stay abandoned!
That incident in November happened about a mile and a half from the front gate. They haven't released many details.
There is a lot that has gone on in the area that I think should have made them stress safety a long time ago!

I looked up the current status of the case. At this time there are no suspects or leads, the police seem to think that it was a case of mistaken identity, that a local gang saw her wearing what they thought were "rival gang colors" in their territory, and killed her for "trespassing."

The buildings outside of Corry are old. Katrina didn't really knock anything down but hurricane Ivan the year before did a number on the city! There are tons of old, run down, and now abandoned buildings all up Navy Blvd.
The homeless like to camp out in the old Nationwide Insurance building. That is next to the Taco Bell where we frequently get stopped after leaving the drive thru by people asking us for money. I've been stopped and asked for money several times in the Wal-Mart parking lot. There are a few abandoned used car lots and pawn shops. The old BK finally was torn down a few weeks ago and is the new Hardees. They are also building a new gas station right where the homeless used to have their camp/bonfires right at the intersection of Navy and 98.

Corry is hyper-alert about safety off-base right now because of the sailor who was killed a few months ago. Chris said that during CORE/indoc they talked about what happened to her (she went jogging in the wrong neighborhood - only about a few blocks from base - and shot for her mistake) to the point of annoyance. A lot of Corry rules got changed after that happened, trying to keep it from happening again.

I believe Katrina may have eliminated some things around Corry Station. The buildings did not look old to me.
