Apologies if this is a re-post,,, but over the last fews years the panhandling in Montgomery County has just gotten out of control! 
10 yrs ago panhandlers were for the most part only found in close proximity to the city, but now they can found on every goddamned street corner in Montgomery County.
I have a major intersection near my home in Rockville and just about every day without fail, there is a panhander on every corner - that's a total of 4 at one intersection. We had a group of women that were clearly related, using the same sign, that I refer to as "the gypsies," that blanketed the intersection near my house for over 2 years, but the corner must have dried up for them, so like locusts they moved off to a new corner. They would get picked up/dropped off in a half-way decent looking car.
One guy who walks around with a cane can be seen during his breaks drinking a beer and talking on his cell phone.
This same individual was witnessed behind a tree in our neighborhood taking a piss!
I was going to the dump the other day and I noticed that every corner was covered by a panhandler at the intersection of Rockville Pike and Shady Grove Rd!
Most of the time these leaches don't say anything to you, but others run their mouths off when you ignore them and some employ an intimidation tactic of standing within a foot of your car window with their sign, just staring at you - it doesn't bother me - I tell'm to piss-off, but it makes my wife feel very uncomfortable.
What bugs the shit out of me are the fookin lib-loons that stop when the light is green to hand them money, damn nearly causing an accident.
This type of shit should be against the law, although I will not get my hopes up the leftist that control Montgomery County will EVER do anything about it.
Rant over....

That panhandling issue was a short lived one. Six months or less. My father would stop and give them money, no matter how much I would protest. You need to visit the area again. Where Arbys was is now a CVS. Yes, The Bassin' Box is still there though.
