Tammy was not a regualr SW but hit te streets when times were rough. When I found her she was needing money to pay the electric nd get it tutned back on. Took her back to her place on the top of the hill (and needed a flashlght to get around- she really did not have any electricity) OK service, she did not want any nude picsof her taken. Gave me a phone number and saw her again about 3 weeks later. After the second encouter, she told me the next one could be free if I would be a part of a 3some, with her boyfriend. She had seen a DP in a porno and rally wanted to try it. I declined, figure if I ever did a 3some I would wnt it with 2 other girls. The point becmae moot since next time I was through town her phone was no longer in service.

Davenport will test cameras at trouble spots

By Tom Saul

******

Cameras already catch those who run red lights at some Davenport intersections, and soon there will be speed cameras to nab lead-footed drivers.

Louis Brems/QUAD-CITY TIMES The City of Davenport is going to install surveillance cameras as a test and may put one of them in place on a high-rise building to monitor activity in the 600 block of West 3rd Street. Police have been called there about 1,200 times over the past 12 months on reports ranging from shots fired and robbery to vice crimes and noise disturbances.

Later this month, police and other city officials will consider taking the use of such cameras even further as they start tests of systems that would carry out surveillance at two locations on city streets in an effort to monitor possible trouble and help solve crimes.

“These are public areas where activity can and will be recorded,” Police Chief Mike Bladel said of the planned tests that are expected to start Dec. 19. “If you are considering committing a crime in those areas, you may want to change your mind.”

The locations of the test cameras still are being determined. Bladel said he wants one on top of the Heritage Highrise senior citizen apartments building to monitor the 500 and 600 blocks of West 3rd Street and one to monitor the area around West 14th and Washington streets.

Rob Henry, the city’s chief information officer, said he wants one on the Heritage and a second one at the intersection of West 3rd and Harrison streets. The tests will look at the use of analog and digital systems and may determine whether wireless cameras can be used.

Alderman Keith Meyer, 3rd Ward, said he welcomes the installation of a camera on the Heritage. In the past 12 months, police have been in action in the 600 block of West 3rd Street about 1,200 times. Incidents have included shots fired, robberies, assaults, vice crimes, noise and other disturbances. The block houses a small grocery store that sells alcohol and an on-demand day-labor agency that attracts people to the sidewalk out front.

“The liquor store in the middle of the block fuels the criminal activity like gasoline on a fire, and the ever-present job seekers and lack of loitering enforcement make the sidewalk a haven for prostitution and criminals passing drugs,” Meyer said.

The store, 3rd Street Mart, has been a point of contention among aldermen and a source of complaints by neighbors. Some say its sale of alcohol aggravates existing problems in the neighborhood. The City Council first issued a liquor license for the business in 2003 and renewed it Wednesday night over the objections of some aldermen.

Owner Jim Murtaza said he has no problems with the city monitoring what goes on in front of his store. In the past, he has worked with the city and the police to try to prevent problems caused by those who congregate on the sidewalk out front. That has included giving the police tapes from his own surveillance cameras.

But instead of letting people know the camera is going up, Murtaza said the monitoring should be done secretly. “They are trying to catch the bad guys. You can do that better if you don’t tell everyone you are watching them,” he said.

Frank Klipsch, the president and chief executive officer of the nearby Scott County Family Y, said that if the camera stops “negative activity” in the block, he is all for it. While the problems have stayed across the street so far, the downtown Y is contemplating renovations. There also are “hundreds of kids who pass through the doors here every week, and there are things going on over there that we would rather not have them see.”

Installation of cameras in some areas of the city will “help to deny criminals secluded spots and help protect the community,” Bladel said. Officers will be able to monitor the cameras and watch for illegal activity. Because the cameras will produce high-resolution images if need be, officers can replay recordings and “grab” still photos that can be used to identify suspects.

The tests will cost the city nothing, Henry said. Future costs would depend on what systems the city bought and how many cameras were installed. In the next several weeks, officials will head to South Sioux City, Neb., a community that operates an inter-linked system of 140 cameras which monitor traffic, intersections and city streets.

Was in the Quad Cities earlier today and ran into Amanda #2 (whose pic I posed a couple months ago) out at the mall when I was getting lunch. She was trying to get a cell phone she had been given activated. Did not recognise her at first since she had dropped several pounds (drug habit?) but she knew me and asked if I was wanting to date. Told her no that I had a girlfriend now to whihc she replied "so?" Then told her I only had enough cash for lunch and gas back home, so if she was offering a freebie I'd take it. That was not what she had in mind but told me if I changed my mind that she was now hanging out a couple of blocks west of the liquor store on Rt 67 just south of downtown (near Martin Luthor King Center- whihc I dont know where it is). This is in Rock Island. Told me if I waited around she would give me her cell number, I did not.

Not interested but thought there might be someone on here who was. She seemed to act like there were more girls out in Rock Island than in Davenport. Do not know if this is a recent development or just something that has been overlooked by myself over the years.

Went to the QC mid week to do some Xmas shopping and decided to hit the stroll when I was done. No one was out most likley since ti was too cold. I know I would not want to be outside in the cold & snow. The After Hours place looks like it has been closed down, saw lots of police activity there during a trip during the summer and noticed that it was busted in reports o here, so maybe they got closed down for good. Always been a bit reluctant to go there or the other similar place about a block away.

Saw this report in the local paper. It is an abridged version of the article, much of it went into details about the "SUSPECT" who was named and is a prominent citizen, figure no need to cause him any more grief. This incident took place a couple months ago but only made the paper's this week for unknown reasons.

Capt. David Struckman, commander of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Davenport Police Department, said the SUSPECT allegedly drove alone in the 900 block of West Second Street in downtown Davenport. Police say he tried to solicit a sex act from an undercover police officer posing as a prostitute. After a deal for money in exchange for an unspecified sex act was reached, the officer told the SUSPECT she was a police officer.

The incident was videotaped. The officer took down the SUSPECT's personal information and informed him there would be a warrant put out for his arrest. He was allowed to leave.

Capt. Struckman said police didn't arrest people on the spot because they wanted to catch as many offenders as possible during the sting operation. The focus of the investigation effort was on street prostitution, using a variety of enforcement and investigative tactics, including surveillance and undercover officers.

In all, nine men and one woman were charged with prostitution during the sweep in that location.

Picked up Boo (that’s right, Boo) as she was walking North on Myrtle towards 2nd Street. I first saw her in the gas station at Myrtle and River Drive buying cigarettes. She looked good in the store where I could really check her out. She is about 5, 2”, perhaps 100 pounds, shoulder length hair that is light brown with blonde highlights and a nice tan. She looks young but I later figured out she is just about 40. She was wearing a huge, bright yellow Tommy Hilfiger windbreaker over a sweater and jeans.

As she left the gas station and started walking towards 2nd, I asked if she needed a ride. She was talking on the cell phone when I approached her and it took forever for her to end the call and make up her mind to get into my car. She began telling me where she was going along with her story of recntly leaving an abusive relationship in Muscatine to live with a sister in Davenport. Unspecified problems with the sister caused the sister to boot her ass out of the house and to Boo’s misfortune (my good luck), she was for the moment rooming with friends under unpredictable circumstances until she could find a place of her own.

We drove to a depressing old house near the intersection of 6th Street and Warren that was very dilapidated and appeared to be broken down into a couple of small apartments. When we pulled up I asked her to come to my hotel to hang out for a while and again, after some hesitation, she said ok. Once we got to my hotel, I made her a drink and within 2 minutes she said, “OK, what are we going to do here? You aren’t a cop are you” So, Boo was not a first timer.

We had a satisfactory session of half and half. She has a tiny, toned body with flat breasts. They look like they may have been outstanding at one time but kids and gravity have them pointing to the ground now. She was enthusiastic and very accommodating. Nice to talk to and fairly articulate despite her admission that she quit school in the sixth grade and has not been able to complete a GED class. I asked if a person has to complete the class before taking the test and she sadly said "No, but I am too stupid to just take the test, I can’t pass it”.

Although she was familiar with the drill, I do not think she is commonly hitting the streets. She does not know anything about Davenport and I have never seen her on the street before. She had a run of hard luck with her family that only intensifies her low self-esteem and with no job skills or work record; she is just trying to get by. If you see her treat her well and help her out. She is really a nice person to spend a little time with.

Was in the Quad Cities last week and was running the stroll area in Davenport and Rock Island. Although from reading stuff here, it looks like the girl I found in RI was just a fluke.

Got into town late Am and got a hotel room, since I needed to spend the night. Cruised Davenport mid day and saw a few girls out most of them were ones I would have passed on if they were free. After not finding anything went to an afternoon meeting that I was in town for. After the meeting again nothing out worth picking up. Left town to take car of other business and got back around 10 PM, again did not see much of anything out. Through out the day some of the girls who work at the place that was busted across from the post office were sitting on the steps (they looked better than anything on the street but I am reluctant to try the place since they had been busted before).

I was about to give up when I spotted someone who was giving me the eye on 2nd St by the Kraft factory. Was not sure if it was a guy or girl or their race, age or appearance since they were really bundled up. Stopped and was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a fairly attractive younger (early 20s white girl) asked her if she needed a ride and she said yes. Her name is Misty. Told me she cant get a job since she has a problem paying attention (I think she said ADHT) and gets money fro the government although someone else must handles it for her. She had been staying with her boyfriend and one of his friends but they had been evicted a couple of days earlier for stealing electricity. Her boyfriend was staying with his son who did not approve of her since she was 10 years younger than he (the son) was and had been sleeping in the back of boyfriend's car for past couple of nights- the reason for wearing all the clothes she owned. She said the government lady who handles her money had found her a new place to stay but she could not move in there until November 1. She wanted the heat in the car turned up all the way.

Told her I had a hotel room on other side of town and asked her if she wanted to go there. She agreed. When we got there she turned up the heat in the room and started taking clothes off. Underneath huge overalls she had on about 4 or 5 layers of clothes that she proceeded to peel off. Turns out that she was much better looking than I would have guessed when I picked her up. I had gotten a jacuzzi suite and told her the hot tub would be nice and warm and started filling it up. When she was naked she crawled into bed and asked me if I would join her to help keep her warm. She was very cold and am guessing she had been outside for quite awhile. Started making out, but stopped to check on the hot tub. It was full so we got in and picked up where we had left off. I had never done it in a hot tub before and wound up trying a number of different positions before finding some that actuality were comfortable for both of us. She really seemed to enjoy sex and told me she always went for older guys, learned she was 23, seems that her mother had told her they know how to please a woman in and did not need to be taught anything. I was feeling comfortable with her and when we were done and dried off told her she could spend the night- waterbeds are better than cars.

Had to wake up earlier than I wanted to since had a meeting at 9 AM. Misty was unprepared for the alarm but after waking up she told me she was horny and started giving me a hand job I reciprocated and began playing with her pussy. I had come prepared and had an extra condom so we did it in several positions in bed. I took a shower she declined to do it with me, preferring to take one by herself with the bathroom door closed, since she felt it was weird having a guy watch her. She also would not let me take her picturestating it would give people the wrong impression as to the kind fo girl she was. She asked to be driven to her grandmother who lives in an old folks home on the other side of town, that happened to be in the direction I was going. Although en rout there she asked if she could borrow some money and stop at a gas station to get some food. Gave her $20 and she came out with a big bag of junk food, apologized since there was not much change and told her she could just keep it She asked me if I would be in town again that night, said no somewhat disappointing her. She said she would like to see me again if I did make it back to town and gave me a number for her phone although she said it would not work until she had more minutes for it something she was very grateful for. Gave her another $20 to get some and dropped her off.

Gents,

I will e in the quad cities next week. Any info on where the "Distrct" is or any good lingerie shops with extras would be appreciated. I am not familiar with the area at all.

Any dirty tittie bars in the QC?

Thanks,

TT

[Mister Quick]

Not sure if they are common or not since I have only been in the area looking a couple of times, but the one girl I did find in IL was on Rt 67 going south before you get to several lower priced motels. Perhaps someone who lives in the area knows more. I did see a couple of possible black SW in the one way system just after you come accross bridge from Iowa and get out of downtown, but was not interested in them.

[Member #4195]

Where do you look on the Illinois side? I don't know where to go and the little lurking I've done over there has had no results. Actually, it would probably be helpful to post *any* local sites that have traffic.

Thanks!

This is the petite redhead picked up several times last year. Look through old reports. I am not the only one who reported on her and she did not want her name used if I talkd about her on th internet. Looks better in person then in her pics. She is another one of the girls who refused t let me take any nude pics of her. Nice attitude and fairly attractive for an older woman- she was like 36 or 37. Did not see her at all the last few times I cruised the QC. I know she was talking about moving back with her family in Oklahoma and hope she got what she wanted.

Was back in the QC area on Sat(10-1) in the afternoon around 3pm. Saw about 6 SW(3 black, 3 white), none looked especially good except for a white SW that looked too good. Had red hair and was wearing red pants and red shirt, seemed a little too obvious, but after driving by her several times she seemed to be the real deal. By then I had to leave to go over to Rock Island, absolutely nothing out in RI. After working until about 9:30pm, came back over to Davenport and drove around for quite awhile. Only saw 1 LE, but there very few SWs out. Maybe 1 or two and there were probably 20 guys driving around looking, so they were snatched up pretty quick. Went and got something to eat around 11:30 and came back around 1am and found a BSW(around Brown and 3rd St) who wanted to buy some drugs. Told her she could buy them after. She agreed and gave nice CBJ. Probably a 5-6 on SW scale, but had really nice large, firm breasts that made up for the fact that she wasn't very good at BJ. She was very obviously into smoking MJ and was really very mellow the whole time. Dropped her off at some dealers place and drove home.

Was out and about on 9-29(last thursday around 10:30-11pm) and saw at least 4 SWs, all in the 3-5 range. Got lucky and picked up a WSW at the newer liquor store on 2nd and Myrtle(just down the street from Sugars). Said her name was Monica, a short redhead, probably an 8-9 on the sw scale. Very cute, a little drunk, and hates working downtown. Said she was 26 and looked it, definitely wasn't your normal crack ho that QC area is full of. FS for .5, but well worth it. Didn't get any contact info as she was staying with a friend and couldn't give that # to me. Dropped her at 12th and Marquette and called it a night.

Stay safe and have fun.

After striking out in Cedar Rapids and having to head back to Illinois decided to try the QC again where I got lucky a few months ago. I tried the number I had been given by Nicole and this time got a person to respond who said she no longer was living there the woman who answered said she thought she was staying with some other frinds but knew not how to get in touch with her. After seeing Ralph's pic of Nikki I can confirm it is the same girl. After seeing how many people have looked at the pics posted here n the past couple of weeks I would think there would be more reports.

Decided to try crusiing again and very few girls (none who I thought were worth picking up) were out on the Iowa side of the river and none at all were to be seen in Illinois. Headed back to Iowa and contmeplated going to one of the two places described there. Passed on Sugars since there was a rather mean looking and big guy just sittig on their doorstep, not sure if he was a bouncer or something. Stopped at After Hours and was greeted by a rather cute black girl who told me she was the only girl there that night. Not being attracted to black chics I passed on her. After leaving there I did see a couple of white girls walking the street slowed donw and noticed that one must have weighed at least 300 lb the other was thin by comparison but was still a bit overweight. The big girl approched my car and asked if she could have a ride - after seeing her up close said no and told her I was tying to get my bearings- had pulled out a map of the QC and was looking at it when she got to my car.

Had wasted too much time and decied to leave. as I was stopped at a light waiting to get back on the bridge a guy pulls up to me who had a Black SW in the car with him whom I had seen and passed earlier. She was very loud and hyper active and was yelling at him stating the various prices she wanted for her services- I could hear them very clearly over my car radio. Looked over their way and she opened window on his car and yelled that if I wanted she would meet me later and yelled a location of where she would be. I pity that poor guy and headed home.

Seems as though there are a LOT more people who are looking at pictures than are actaully making reports here.

This one is Amanda who at times goes by Mandy. Saw her on numerous occasions beginning last year. A couple of times at her parent's home. Not the best since she really does not like sex! She dropped out of high school after having a kid - the father is black guy who is older than her dad- she wont ID since she does not want to get him in trouble thus she gets no $$$ for kid. She seems to prefer black guys and talks like a black chic- something her mother is not real happy about. The one time I saw her mom she said it was nice that Amanda was seeing a white guy. Last time I saw her she came to my hotel took the money and dashed. so next few times I was in town called her and left a message saying I would see her again but did not wnat to get ripped off. Saw her once since then on the stroll.
