Craig wrote on April 26, 2006 7:41 AM:"The answer is easy- one follows the moeny. Prostitution arrests, espaceailly those of the "johns" means fines that the city gets. I am guessing most guys wind paying up rather than having their name dragged through the media for involvement in a victimless crime that carries a social stigma. Since this is happening where a cop can easily see it if he is around, it involves little actual police work. Sort of like catching someone who is driving in excess of the speed limit. On the other hand catching a murderer or a SkyBridge vandal would involve investing money in some real detective work. Work that has no gaurentee of producing any result."

What do you mean..... wrote on April 25, 2006 12:25 PM:"We have our children being slain in the middle of the streets and the main worry is women, and men selling their bodies? Have we solved the murders? What about the missing sex-offenders that just got lost in the system? I feel we need to deal with the BIG ISSUES, and then once we have tackled that then we can clean the streets of the women and men with low self esteem. First things, first and that is arresting the people who seem to think murder is the way."

real criminals? wrote on April 25, 2006 11:55 AM:"I do not like the idea of prostitutes in the downtown area, but there are other crimes that need the attention of the police. As long as these working people are not causing other crimes, I say leave them alone. They are earning money which they will spend, maybe even in the downtown that we so want to bring jobs to. Yes this type atmosphere is detrimental to good businesses and decent people. But Davenport wants the things the "big cities" have, so that includes prostitution. A fact of life, live with it. Go after the real criminals that are costing the taxpayers money in repairs of skybridge, etc. Support the working public... "

Stew wrote on April 24, 2006 4:19 PM:"To Unbelievable: What have these prostitutes ever done that makes an impact on your life? I think you just want to shove YOUR idea of morality down everyone else's throats. I say live and let live. "

Free Advertising wrote on April 24, 2006 2:23 PM:"I never understood why the print media give the home address of those accused of prostitution. Do they pay the same advertising rates as the classifieds? While we are at it, why do they put brail on the key pads of the drive up ATM machines?"

Unbelievable! wrote on April 24, 2006 1:48 PM:"Get YOUR priorities in order, Stew. None of us wants or needs this type of sick, immoral behavior in our community."

come on now wrote on April 24, 2006 8:18 AM:"You know I have to agree these people are out there if they dont care about themselves them why should anyone else leave them alone and worry about the real crimes. Be for real this is just stupid that we are paying for the police do arrest these people when they are gonna get out and do it again stop wasting money on stupid stuff"

Mel wrote on April 23, 2006 11:54 PM:"Yes, there are other issues that need to be taken care of, but this is an important issue as well. These are the type of people who are spreading AIDS around. On the other hand though, no matter how many prostitutes are out there working and get caught, there is always that other one to take their place. It's a never ending battle."

Preacher wrote on April 23, 2006 1:07 PM:"This is a public safety issue. These folks should be tested for Aids. If they infect someone they should be charged with Murder. Prostitutes are sleeping in the Devils bed and death is iminate for them in the form of Aids. There is no room for prostitutes in the modern world. "

Stew wrote on April 23, 2006 11:30 AM:"How pitiful. Instead of solving REAL crime in the area, police want to bust a pro and her johns. How about concentrating on the THOUSANDS of dollars in damage done to the SkyBridge. Is that crime solved yet? Get your priorities in order."

was sent ot the QC on Friday. After done with work did a quick check of Davenport stroll, early evening. Nothing at all was out. I did notice that parked in front of Sugars was a big vehicle marked Davenport Police Mobile Police Precinct. Do not know if they wound up getting busted or something. Dont suspect its presence was good for there business. Do not really have much spare cash so gave up after one pass through stroll.

This may have been good idea. saw aricle in QC Times (that cant find in their online version) about a number of arrests they made in town. Seems cops are following guys who pick up girls in unmarked cars and then busting them once something starts happening. Wonder what they do if someone goes across the bridge. I am guessing if the cops follow while not in high speed pursuit they may wind up out of their jurisdiction follwoing someone who is just a suspect.

Saw After Hours was still closed Sugars was open. Just for fun I tried the number posted in After Hours window. Girl answered who said she and a couple of others were still available at another location. Told me she was 21 blonde and cute and said if I was interested where to meet her. Decided what the hell and went. Turns out the girls who aren't in lock up have rented out a basement of a house on top of the bluff. Met the girl. Name of Lily. More or less as described until she took her coat off, she is several months pregnant. Said the father is a loser and she has to screw other guys to support him and baby when it comes. She was a bit more expensive than SW- 140 for everything, which I thought meant until one was done. She had an alarm in her phone go off as we were in the midst of me pounding away at her and said times up and we were "done". I did not feel done since had not popped and still had a hard on. Not a good thing. Left unsatisfied....

I saw Lily once at After Hours, dont think I did a report since it was when theyw ere havig problems on the board. She was young blonde and very attractive. I however would not have chosen her again since she was very rushed, not into it at all and did not want to have much contact. I did finish with her, she was very, very tight adn did not take much time at all. She acted like she wanted to just get up and leave. However she heard a bunch of other guys come in and decied to stay sicne she told me she was always getting picked- the other two girls there at the time looked worse than most SW I have seen out in town. So she and I just sort of sat there and stared at each other for ~5 minutes. she did not want to talk. Until one of the guys picked a girl that was there and the other said he would come back later and left.

[Mister Quick]

seem to be almost only one with reports here. I know some other guys are cruising since see them out.


Had to make a trip to QC for work late afternoon. Boss said could take rest of afternoon off when was done with businesss. Figured nice weather would bring out girls. Was wrong. Cruised both sides of river many times in a very long peroid of time from ~4:00 PM to 3:00 AM Took several breaks for dinner, some shopping and to see a flim so not a constant 11 hours. Did notice a lot of LE out on Iowa side. They seemed to be stopping any single female they found. Saw this happen about 4 times never got good look at any of girls. I headed across bridge each time saw this. Saw one possible WSW (average looks) on IL side in the one way system but had LE behind me and by time I had gone around block she was gone. In Iowa, fairly late at night before I decided to cut out saw a girl I would not have picked up a few hours earlier on Gaines walking down the hill. Gave me look, decided to circle around block but was cut off by a train. By the time it left she was long gone.

Tried to call the CL girl with 312 numbera few times. Dont think I would have paid her rates, but figured find out more. Got voice mail on first ring everytime. Left a message did not hear back. Last attempt she had a full voice mail box. Seems I was not only one wanting to talk to her.

Will have to be in town again sometime in April. Since I seem to have more posts here this year than anyone else, many negative, I will not be posting another struck out again report. As far as I am concered no news = bad news.

Mister Quick -

FYI, cell phone area codes don't indicate where the caller is currently at. In other words, the professional with the 312 area code may actually be in the QC, with a cell phone with a 312 area code.

I know cell phones will work outside your home area but they do tend to charge you more for your calls. I know if I leave my 8 county "home" area I loose the free weekend and night feaures, plus if I leave Illinois by much the rate really goes up. So if you are moving to an area one would want to get a local number. Plus by doing so it would avoid having locals make long distance calls to reach you.

Found a couple of girls in the area listed on Cragslist. In the Des Moines section. I discovered thy have lots of spam there. went to des Moines last weekend. Did a serach there for ads with 515 in them to eliminate spam and get reaal girls. No real luck hooking up however.

Just for shits and grins, just did a search for other Iowa AC 319 & 563. Found nothing but when I did a search for Quad got a couple of adverts.

http://desmoines.craigslist.org/ers/145663765.html
http://desmoines.craigslist.org/ers/145880297.html

One has a 312 phone number (Chicago?) the other none. Emailed the one with no phone number so may hear something from her. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these girls.

The girl with312 phone number had 3 pics. I am postings since the ad will expire and then one cant click to view from here. Like the Des Moines ones I blew them up and made them blurry.

Getting tired of going to QC crusiing around and finding nothing. Thought may be nice to have something pre arranged.

Did a rela breif cruise trhough the Davenport and Rock Island stroll on Sunday evening. Saw nothing out on either, than some black guys who I supect were looking to sell drugs. Wanted to get home early so only spent about 30 minutes looking on both sides of river, was around 9:30 to 10:00 PM. Beginnig to think me getting lucky in town a few times was a fluke and not finding anything is the norm.

Friday Night - Was playing Backjack and noticed this SW looking chick at the slots so I moved over near her and played alittle. She is a 7 of 10, blond hair, nice 34b's, 130pnds and 5'2

When the waitress asked what I was drinking, I offered to buy this chick a drink.

20mins later we were talking business, she is a stripper that lost her job due to a bust and was attempting to flip some coin quick at the slots.

Ended up going to me room for a nice BBBJCIM w/ Spit for .25

Be safe

Had to work most of yesterday and knew I had to come in today, so decided to have some fun last night. Was up in the air over doing a trip to Rockford or one to the Quad Cities. Flipped a coin the QC won.

Arrived in town about 7:30. Did stroll in both Davenport and Rock Island. For the most part everyone thinks RI is dead. My one good time there keeps me coming back. Saw nothing in IL, very little in IA. A couple of potentials. Cute blonde in pink sweatsuit saw a couple of times but she was always with a couple of black guys. Not sure if she was SW. Saw a WSW that was a bit on the unattractive side. Still better than the ones from the Peoria PD website. Circled around block to see if she might be worth picking up. She was getting into someone else's car by time I got around.

Saw After Hours was still closed Sugars was open. Just for fun I tried the number posted in After Hours window. Girl answered who said she and a couple of others were still available at another location. Told me she was 21 blonde and cute and said if I was interested where to meet her. Decided what the hell and went. Turns out the girls who aren't in lock up have rented out a basement of a house on top of the bluff. Met the girl. Name of Lily. More or less as described until she took her coat off, she is several months pregnant. Said the father is a loser and she has to screw other guys to support him and baby when it comes. She was a bit more expensive than SW- 140 for everything, which I thought meant until one was done. She had an alarm in her phone go off as we were in the midst of me pounding away at her and said times up and we were "done". I did not feel done since had not popped and still had a hard on. Not a good thing. Left unsatisfied.

She did tell me a few things. The old owner of After Hours, is not in jail as reported by someone else here but is working as a high priced escort in Florida. Lily hopes to join her after the baby comes. The lease on the building and the phone down there are in old owner's name and are not being paid. At some point the building will get cleaned out and phone turned off. Lily said she has the number forward to her cell phone, but that will stop when it is turned off. She gave me her cell but I dont want a of repeat of that experience. She asked me to give it to interested friends.

Tried the IA stroll again hoping to finish what had been started. Nothing out still. Headed to IL nothing there found a strip club Jolly Roger. Went in. Girls there were cute, but very unfriendly and distant. Did not have one talk to me. Most seemed interested in looking through a box of stripper outfits a black guy had brought in to sell them. Admire his ambition. Left only out cover charge and 1 drink.

Back to Davenport. Wandered around some more. Saw girl in pink sweatsuit. This time she was alone and motioned to me. Pulled over and offered her a ride. Went to a secluded area on top of bluff. She was real good looking for a SW. 8 on regular girl scale, said her name was Michelle, she was 24 had no job and a 8 year old kid to raise on her own. Said she had seen me earlier and wondered why had not stopped for her. She was real rushed about everything and before we started said last guy she had been with took forever 10 minutes to get done. For me that is a quickie. Went on to finish what had started with Lily. Took a bit over 10 minutes to get done, she started complaining about the time after about 3 strokes. She did however have the moistist pussy ever experienced, almost felt like was wearing no condom. Dropped her off near where I found her when we were done, she has no phone but said she comes out when she is in need of $$. If not for her rushed attitude would really want to do her again. At least I got a satisfying ending with her. Noticed there was pussy juice all over the car seat and my pants when I got home.

Hey guys,

I was out Thursday night after 11:00 pm cursed for about an hour. I was depressed with the findings only one girl. She was blk not bad looking but not good enough. I dont mind a blk girl if she has a big set ot breasts but this girl was almost flat. She was very will to get me interested but just didnt do much for me. I did see several cops cruising also. Where have the girls gone?? I cruised both downtown davenport and rock island with no luck. If any one know a new area let us know.

Good luck

I am making an educated guess here, but I predict that After Hours will not be opening back up. As you may recall the place got busted last year. I recently learned that the owner (the girl who went by the name of Devine) did a plea arrangement and plead guilty to prostitution in exchange for a pair of other charges being dropped. She was unable to get a tape the cops made surpressed as evidence against her. It appears as if whs ewill be out of circulation for awhile. Her sentence was a year in SCJ, whihc may be suspended, a year of probation, $1000 fine, plus court costs and having to pay for her public defender (so much for an attorney being appointed free). Bond for appeal has been set at $6500.

She was a bit of an entrepenuer.No idea about the other girls working for her since never learned their real names.

[Mister Quick]

Was in the QC yesterday. Was sort of pressed for time mid afternoon, did not see any girls out on the Davenport stroll area or along Rt 67 in Rock Island. Thought the somewhat milder weather might have brought some poor young thing out.

Also After Hours, the place that got busted last year appears to be closed up good. Perhaps the girls who once worked there are now getting room and board compliments of the state. The doors were locked up. I tried calling the number on the door and got one an answering machine with a pretty generic message. I never did go there, but late last year when I was in town it did still appear to be open with activity inside.

Gas was a whole lot cheaper on the Iowa side. Noticed that the last few times i was in the area but keep forgetting and fill up in Illinois before I take off.

[Roady]

I was in the Quad's on business Wednesday and noticed Island Spa on the road west past the airport. Anybody try out this place? It looks very nice and as I drove by I didn't see any cars in the parking lot.

[ram2005]

Last Thursday I was out and found a wsw named Amber. Amber is a 25 year old blonde. She said she was pregnant, did show. She gave a great bbbjcim. She wanted dropped off in the west end of Davenport by Rudy's tacos. She did leave me her phone number. She would be well worth finding again. There did seem to be several girls out that night.
