Thanks for posting Mike and good article from Michelle. This one hit close to home as this is exactly where I taught my daughter situational awareness. Salem, MA is a "Halloween town" and there are always folks dressed up in costume year round. As you can imagine, around October, there are so many people, it can get hard to move around. With this, comes the riff-raff. She knows some street performers there and goes to visit them so I needed to drill situational awareness into her. As mentioned in another thread, I know people that are absolutely clueless to what is going on around them. You really should know your surroundings. Especially in crowded area's.

Great article. I’ll admit at times when walking around, at work, mall or to and from apartment to truck I find myself looking down. I have to force myself to keep my head up and scan the area for possible threats or just situations that I’ll get injured by. I will say I’m not the type of person to run head long into dangerous situations and believe in avoid and retreat to stay safe however I’ve been through the training on self defense and continue to learn and practice.

I’m reading a good book called ‘Left of Bang’ about being aware of not only your surroundings, but of what is not supposed to be there. Good book, highly recommended.

Amazing how many folks on the phone in their car at an intersection. They have no clue about anything around them .
I agree, and what's worse, are the amount of folks I see with their faces in their phone while driving.

Don’t get me started. Rode motorcycles for 40 years. Drove me crazy to see people on their phone while driving.

Looks like the area the wife and I see from the cab on the way to the airport from downtown. We are huge Cardinal fans and my mom lives in So. IL. Stay safeThis was my "Workplace" yesterday. It is a neighborhood in North St. Louis near Fairgrounds Park. Literally blocks and blocks of dilapidated buildings, roving bands of gang bangers and general debauchery. Police have abandoned these streets.

I'll take mountains, forests and grizzly bears over all that any time.
Looks also like a set out of "The Walking Dead" to me.

That's the corner of Linton and Carter. Google Earth it. It looks like a 3rd world country.
