Long long ago and far far away.
[QUOTE=Boozzer;1335755]Tried to do the stroll today. Down Central to Baxter. Nothing to see till I got in wh. Leo every where one in middle of the road lights on door open at least three more with him. Time to leave take side road. Passed 2 unmarked on way back to central. What's got Uncle Leo upset I don't know but we all need to take extra care.[/QUOTE]I don't remember the year but it was around 2000 Nashville went to cleaning up itself, closing all the MPs and running off all the SWers. What you describe sounds just like what they did then. If you were driving thru a stroll and slowed down or take too many turns they were all over you. Not pulling you over but just all around you. I have heard comments like this a few times over the past week or so. Knoxville has had a very good thing for a long long time in the way or SWer activity. I hope it is not going the way of Nashville (now that was like the Wild Wild West before.)
Better idea than ho phone
Why bother with a separate phone for the ladies when you can get Google Voice? It's free and has call screening and blocking. Plus you can set it to go straight to VM and not ring your phone when you're not out on the hunt.
[QUOTE=Out Of Towner2;1335976]Hey, just like you have a "HO phone", get you a "Stroll Car". Spend 1000 bucks and get a piece of shit that runs good. The concern for damage goes way down plus it looks at home in the hood. Of course, explaining it to Mama might not be so easy.[/QUOTE]
Some late night thougts on our hobby.
Several posts I'd like to reply to and so instead of trying to quote each one, I'm just going to make one posts of both replies and a report on tonight's action.
First tonight's action, while I didn't pick any up, I did make a cruise down N. Central to Magnolia and back around the loop.
I was actually a bit surprised given the cold weather, but I saw several on N. Cent that were obviously selling it and a couple of probables on Mag.
I'm wondering if maybe the combination of Christmas and the economy is bringing out some newbies or part times because they were all ones I'the never seen before and I get out fairly often.
There was a fine looking piece of young chocolate on Magnolia and about 90% she was working. I kind of wish I'the stopped and at least got a number, but as I said, I wasn't really looking for anything tonight.
One on N. Cent. Was the kind I love to find in that she was young, cute, carrying a backpack, most likely selling it for some bus money etc. And yeah, I'm certain she was either working or trying to hitch a ride and in my experience, it doesn't take much to turn giving her a ride into her giving you one.
I've known a few that didn't even want money. They were willing to give it up for a ride someplace.
I only saw one Leo, he had this guy pulled over on one of the side streets off N. Cent, but I don't know why.
Leo activity is generally driven by citizen complaints and I think that's probably the explanation for increased presence.
In the course of my work, I've known a lot of cops and as long as the woman is an adult and a willing participant, most of them couldn't give two shits about prostitution anymore than they want to be out writing traffic tickets.
However, they have to do what they're told by their bosses, their bosses answer to the politicians, the politicians are looking for votes, citizens are complaining, etc.
Also, sometimes the street action gets a bit out of hand. More often than not, if the cops can look the other way, they will, but it can't be right in their face.
That's part of why they raided and temporarily closed the Deluxe down on Magnolia. At the time, I was passing by there every day going to and from work and it was a rare morning and even a rarer night that I didn't see at least one ho working either the lot at the Deluxe or the bus stop in front of it and I personally know and have been with two who were living there.
You can't have it be THAT out in the open and not eventually have Leo do something.
As for replies.
Rwestlake: Be very, very careful with those cover stories. Anything that sounds rehearsed isn't going to be believed and lying to them tends to really piss them off and they'll look for an excuse to arrest you, even if they can't actually make it standup in court.
I've personally had cops tell me about arresting someone, just to hassle them, but knowing it wasn't going to hold up in court.
My stories are simple and given where I live, quite believable. I'm either on my way to Kenjo's, on my way home from Kenjo's or I'm going to or from the Regions ATM at the corner of N. Cent and Broadway and I truly do bank with Regions and have a check card in my wallet to prove it.
Those two stories cover me for everything from the Kenjo's on North Central down to Cherry street and if I'm not mistaken, there's also a Regions ATM in the parking lot at the McDonald's on down Magnolia.
I've never cruised WH and so I've zero advice there beyond the general advice of paying attention, obeying traffic laws, making sure you have your shit in order regarding license and insurance, etc.
Something else everyone should keep in mind, on a misdemeanor, they will generally just issue you a citation but it's the officer's discretion. They CAN arrest you AND impound your car.
Out of towner 2: Yeah, that is my understanding of where KPD is getting their current playbook from. It was either Nashville or Memphis, I can't remember which, but that's where the tactic of declaring a bar or motel to be a 'public nuisance' and then shutting it down came from and with the exception of the Deluxe, I don't know of any business here that has been closed under this law that has been reopened.
When cruising the stroll, I've often thought it would be simpler and less obvious to just park somewhere and go for a stroll myself, but that makes you damned vulnerable to assault, robbery, etc.
GeeDick: I think I've posted the KCSO link before, but it's something I routinely check out and I also have a custom Goggle page and I set it to send me email notifications of news stories with the keywords, prostitution Knoxville.
The combination of those two can be a great resource for gathering information and if you're willing to spend the money, it can also be a great way to enjoy the hobby.
I can tell you from personal experience, if you get a girl out of jail, she's going to be very, very grateful and she's going to pay you back, at least in the way hoes pay for things.
This one, all she wanted was a beer and a shower and from there, anything and everything was on the menu.
As for a stroll car, I'the thought about that one as well, but my car doesn't stand out that much. Yeah, it's nice enough and runs well, but it's not anything fancy. Also, I usually bring them back to the house and so not much point in a van.
I have however seriously thought about buying a house around the stroll. It's not someplace I'the want to say raise a family or grow old, but in the here and now, I'm young, single, no kids, no plans for kids, rarely leave the house without at least a knife on me, the stroll is a cheap place to live because it's a 'bad' area, etc.
I think it'the be pretty cool to just walk out the door and see what's on sell tonight.
As far as money goes, no I'm hardly rolling in dough, I basically live hand to mouth, but at the same time, I'm not willing to pay hundreds of dollars for something I can get for $30.
They may not be beauty queens, but lay back, close your eyes and a mouth is a mouth and the best BJs I've ever had have been from cheap SWers. They know what they're doing, because they've had a LOT of practice.
Rwestlake again: To each his own, but given how cheap phones are, I think everybody in the hobby should have a ho phone. Mine is an additional phone on my Sprint account and it cost me all of $20 a month.
For all of $20, I can have simple, instant contact with the ho of my choice, well assuming they answer the phone, but at the same time, I can turn it off, stick it in a drawer, etc.
I enjoy the hobby but I also date girls who aren't hoes and I really don't want to try to explain who's calling me, why they're calling me, etc.
One very small example, I had one ho text me and tell me she needed at least $50 but if I could give her $100 I could fuck her in the ass.
I did take her up on that offer, but it's not exactly something I'the want a legit girlfriend to be reading and yes guys, there are girls who will go through you phone with a fine tooth comb, while you are say, taking a shower, mowing the yard, washing your car, etc.
