Safety Notice: Con-Man in Boston

Please note that a notorious con-man named Elliot Davis has been conning people in the Boston area for what appears to be about 10 years. He was spotted in the Back Bay area last night. According to an article on the Odyssey: "A well-dressed Davis approaches someone on the street and tells them a sob story of a flat tire. He only needs a few bucks to buy a fix-a-flat, he pleads. This "few bucks" has been as high as $80 in some stories. Con artists usually ask for a non-rounded amount of money--$12, $14, $22-- in hopes that his prey does not have exact change and ends up giving $20 or $30 flat.

Basquiat was a precocious child, as he learned how to read and write by age four and was gifted in artwork. His teachers noticed his artistic abilities, and his mother encouraged her son's artwork.

At age 15, Basquiat ran away from home and was arrested and returned to his father’s care less than a week later. In 1977, he dropped out of school and his father banished him from their household.
