Davis, California's CG

If you ever go to Davis, California, beware of "The Crying Girl" (aka The CG) who will tearfully plead for $37 or so for a train ticket to escape an abusive boyfriend. According to this NY Times article, she's been running this racket long enough in Davis that many of the citizens have caught on and are not happy about it! Apparently, she is very convincing as all good "con men" or con girls are. Hey, if you can turn on the tears at will, why not make a few bucks while you're at it?! If I were her agent, I'd suggest she go to a new market. Maybe Chico? Watch for her show to be played at a town near you...
