Where to look for SW in Birmingham
Here's the post of my SW locations info I periodically post for reference. I update it as needed to help people not familiar with the area and to update names of places and such that have changed, so it's not always the same old same old. I'm making a forum thread for it so it's easily accessible. Anyone not familiar with the area might need a map to get to some places, but this should help.
I've been dating the SW's of the B'ham area since the early 90's. They all change, come and go, disappear and reappear, but the places where they are mainly stay the same. I won't talk about specific girls, just where to find girls, for alot of the girls know places on every side of town to go and you may see one near Legion Field one day, then the next day she's in Woodlawn. And times that girls are out vary, though in most places I'll mention you could drive through there any time of the day and see one, and its possible you might not.
1) Starting on the east side of the B'ham area, theres a road off of Highway 75 heading toward Oneonta right past the Blount County line called Old Highway 75, its just a road that goes in and a mile down the road comes back out, well that's an area that blacks live and its a well known crack area, and SW's frequent there sometimes, but I haven't seen them there lately.
2) There have been girls known to walk down Center Point Road as well from where Center Point begins all the way to the end of the road, theres been less frequency of that since they got tougher on that type of stuff in that area.
3) In the Leeds/Trussville area, there's a road off of Highway 78 heading to Leeds from Irondale called Floyd Bradford Road. About 3 miles down that road theres an area called Lola City where its a well know drug peddling area. Off of F.B. Road to the left is a one block dead end road called Virginia Street and girls are known to frequent there sometimes. Also, two blocks down from there, if you turn up the second left past that theres a road called High Street, and thats also known drug area, and girls frequent there as well. These areas are not always good to find girls, but it is possible.
4)The 1st Avenue North area, going west from the Anchor Motel near the Krispy Kreme all the way down to the Crown gas station around 45th Street is always an area where girls pop up. Areas along that road where girls usually frequent are the adult book stores accross from the new Church's, the area around the Crown and Conoco gas stations near I'd say 69th Street maybe. Also the area in the main Woodlawn area is always cropping with girls, especially around the McDonalds in the 3 motels (Sky, American, Relax) surrounding it and in the streets around there, too. Then down the road there's a Motel 8 all alone at 50th Street, that area has alot of girls that frequent that area too. 50th Street is also a road to check. There's also been a few TS that have shown up around the adult book stores on 1st, so make sure what you're getting. In Avondale near there, 3rd Avenue from the Exxon station to the Star Inn, and the streets behind the Star are areas to check. All of these areas have equal number of white and black girls. Always an area that needs to be checked.
5) Downtown theres always the faithful 4th Avenue North and 5th Avenue North around the post office that girls frequent at all hours, though not as prevalent as before they passed the hooker laws of course, but still there. I found a girl I went to high school with that was a cheerleader down there trying to pick up dates (she got hooked on pain killers), so you never know who you'll find. The girls usually are at the small mini park across from the post office, though the girls available usually look worn out. Also downtown, the area around the 16th Street Church and Kelly Ingram Park have been active with all kinds of girls walking around at all hours, also worth checking out. If in that area, I'd also ride by Linn Park, that's usually where the transients sleep, and there's alot of female transients who're always looking to make money.
6) Around the west side of town, if you travel down 3rd Avenue West from the Church's Chicken and Alabama Adult Books (around 9th Street and 3rd Ave west) all the way to where the fairgrounds area starts where Lomb Avenue intersects, theres always a chance you'll find a girl walking somewhere down that road. Though there have been girls further down heading towards Bessemer at a motel that used to be called Plantation and now its called Sun Inn I think. The side roads on either side of 3rd Avenue West are places to look too. Around that area, near Princeton Hosp. and the Arlington House you can look in the areas around Tuscaloosa Avenue, Cotton Avenue from Elyton School down to Rallys. As well, you can go down 8th Avenue, from Arkadelphia Road all the way down to 16th Street and theres girls that frequent all areas down that road at all hours. If you're into transvestites, transexuals or whatever, they used to walk down 8th Avenue between 5th Street past Parker H.S. and 12th Street, though I haven't seen them there in a long time. Mainly black girls around these areas, though occasionally theres a white girl every now and then.
7) Highway 78 heading toward Jasper, also called Arkadelphia Road, is another good area. Theres 2 truck stops right near one another, Pilot has a Wendys attached to it, and there's Kangaroo. Girls hang out in the parking lots alot and walk along the side of the road. Up the road from there, there's several motels, one near a overpass walkway and one called Alabama Motel. Finley Avenue also has a couple of truck stops around the I-65 exit, Conoco, Shell and Citgo, and those areas always have girls hanging around. Around these truck stops theres usually equal numbers of white and black girls. Going toward Jasper, I've also found a girl before walking down the highway in an area called Argo, next to a gas station on the side heading back toward B'ham.
8) There is activity at a motel on the Irondale/Birmingham border on Highway 78. It used to be a Holiday Inn, now called the USA Economy I believe. This place is also being watched and now has a security guard that walks around all the time. Be careful there, too. I've been told that the motel across from the Krystal in Irondale has had girls there off and on, but the manager there isn't as casual about it as they are in Woodlawn.
9) Bessemer used to be active. There was info that the Scottish Inn down near Walmart has had girls outside of it, though I have yet to see any. The Motel 8 on the west side of Bessemer heading toward B'ham is quite active there as well as the lots around the BP and Shell on 28th Street up the road. Also, side roads in Bessemer are always areas to look. If you're familiar with Bessemer, the areas around Snitz Snider Stadium at 4th Avenue and 9th Street, all the way back to Eastern Valley Road and all the areas in between are all places to look. Also look around Dartmouth Avenue on the eastern side of 150- there's some projects up the road that shows promise. You might want to watch out for Bessemer police, though, as they were out in force early morning the last time I passed through there.
10) I've found girls around the fountain in southside. The fountain is on 20th St at the crossroads of 11th Avenue. I can't say for sure whether they're SW's or not, probably homeless or runaways just passing through. But those type usually are ones that could be up for a way to make some money, so it might be worth checking out.
