Yes, I was thinking the same as I was reading it. However, that area has many immigrants, so maybe that name is an awkward English translation from another language, such as Spanish.

Good point, but a sleazy mongrel of a monger like me, who especially enjoys inexpensive street providers, would probably be interested (smile).

According to the news report, "prostitutes overrun every block," "prostitutes openly solicit sex from passersby," and one area "has become so renowned for its prostitution that locals have nicknamed the area 'the market of sweethearts,' and viral online videos advise prospective johns on how to make use of sex workers' services there". The report said that "sex workers" were seen "standing outside storefronts soliciting men". "Residents say the prostitutes usually take their clients into makeshift brothels for sex," "allegedly operate during all hours of the day," and "often hang out in front of area supermarkets". A local resident says "prostitutes blatantly flaunt their bodies on the streets at all times of the day". He continued: "They line up all along 90th Street in front of a pizzeria, a 99-cent store, and just try to pull men. You'll see multiple women in scantily clad clothing. Now it's cold, they are a bit covered up, but it will get worse in the summer". According to an anti-prostitution activist: "The cops won't arrest the Johns and the District Attorney won't prosecute the Johns". Personally, I think there should be an area like this in Honolulu!

Roses at young street. Owner set slot machines (not free of course LOL) to make working girls spend boring times.

Past raids I heard from providers who off work that day said raid is cash collection. Last one I heard was mamasan had eight grand got taxed. Think: how do places operate broad daylight and advertise sucky fucky but no get bus? If I'm vice and want shut down advertising indies / AMPs, they all gone in 1-2 months tops. Bumbai you learn, pay officer friendly so no more raid.

HPD has not revealed any details on the operation, but a witness tells us they entered a massage business and removed what appeared to be numerous gaming machines.

Somebody already made a report (post) about this back in Feb.

Had a street shut down and blocked with fire and lots of police present.

Saw 3 really cute local girls in police uniforms. Had to take a second look and memorize.

I would pay to give them a personal massagee and spend an hour with each one.

Well I guess we will see how this goes. If they win and their names stay sealed, it will set a new legal presidency that can be used to argue future cases. If they lose, they will be exposed and we will see the shit storm that follows. My money is on keeping their names sealed, if they have enough influence.

Looks like it was that after hours bar game room on the 2nd floor. Happened at 530 am and was over a girl.
