I am on a mission to find the best places to panhandle in Topeka. I'm pretty sure I found the goldmine. At the entrance to Jose Peppers and Wal-Mart on Wanamaker, panhandlers are on every corner.

The intersection exiting Sam's Club. Turn the corner

and guess what...

...another panhandler.

There is obviously a strategy to panhandling in Topeka. Panhandlers have to market themselves to get a strong bottom line. High traffic intersections with a strong message on a billboard that prays on the emotions of people. Just like most American corporations, but without the strong media ad-placement. 

I'm still looking for panhandling hot spots. If you know some, point me in the direction.
