    Don’t make eye contact with people on the street unless you actually want their attention. My mom taught me this at a young age when I was growing up in the Boston suburbs and she worked in the city so I was there a lot as a kid.

      Always walk with purpose even if you lost as shit. Look for directions in safe locations only.

      If you’re being followed go into a store. You’re much more likely to be mugged in the street than inside a CVS. Retail joints have cameras everywhere.
