That IS a terrible pic, but it might be the same young, very good body girl I saw there, at AH, 2 years ago. Roughly $1+ for a handshake, after she gave her BS line & I was "ready to go", in no condition to haggle. I was pissed. Never again. By the way. The rest were hogs. I imagine she made a fortune there.

Saw Devine (not her real name) several times when sshe was working at After Hours in both locations. Was 18 first time aI saw her and a real hottie. Would have gone there more often but she always wanted more for less than one could find by picking up a SW. Plus she was always rushing. Managed to talk her into letting me take 1 picture the second time I saw her. The flash did not go off, but it still counted as my one. ;( It is thus a rather crappy and dark photo. Waited to scan this one since I figured might be able to get it to look a bit better once I learned to use the photo editing program a bit better. Still looks a bit washed out and the colors are not all that good but at least you can see something, I am afraid this is as good as I can make it.

According to what I have read on here she is out of commision having been arrested in a raid last summer.

I was thinking of visiting Sugar's, for the 1st time, next week. Probably will. If so, I'll post results. By the way, they have been "busted" like that many times, & have been in business for as long as I can remember. I don't think they're going anywhere. I just wish there were more posts on Sugar's, so I can know what to expect. As long as they've been in business, there HAS TO BE some of you, going there.

I've been to "After Ours", but posted my review on another site. I'll recap: SHITTY.

[Mister Quick]

I have been to Sugars once and had an unsatisfying experience with Hope. Saw Rene there at the same time. They did not look like sisters. Did see both arrive together while I was cruising once. Wonder if this means the place will be going out of business like the other one did?

Sisters arrested on prostitution charges at Davenport club By Brian Krans

Two sisters from Silvis were arrested Wednesday night for allegedly offering sexual services to undercover police officers at a downtown Davenport strip club.

Davenport police's Tactical Operation Bureau was conducting an investigation into alleged prostitution activity at Sugar's Dancers, 1037 W. 3rd St., where the sisters were dancing under stage names, court records state.

Amber "Hope" Griffin, 29, agreed to dance nude and perform a sex act on a male customer for $150, and Stephanie "Rene" Griffin, 27, offered sex to an undercover officer for $120, court records state.

The Griffins, both of 1612 14th St., were charged with prostitution. They both made first court appearances Thursday in Scott County District Court.

Police conducted a similar sting at Sugar's in May 2004, during which a dancer solicited prostitution to an undercover police officer. Then mayor Charlie Brooke pulled the club's license, but a judge's ruling earlier this year declared his decision as unconstitutional.

Neither of the Griffin women were being held at the Scott County Jail Thursday. Their next court date is set for June 1.

Business owners hope new lights deter crime
By Kelly Hessedal

DAVENPORT - Once the sun goes down - it's a neighborhood police say is notorious for drugs and prostitution.

But several small business owners*near 2nd Street and Myrtle*want to clean up that image - and hope new street lights will help.

"Some of the people who'd rather not be seen at night in this area won't come here if the lights are on," said Donna Petersen. Her husband owns Petersen's Plumbing. It's been*on the same block for nearly 60 years - the couple has*no desire to move.

"There's a lot of people using downtown, it's gaining momentum weekly," said Bob Petersen.*"Anything we can do to encourage and brighten up the area is very important."

Development consultant Shelley Sheehy*was part of this push to spread light in this neighborhood.

"We're talking about open drug deals, prostitution," she said. "These aren't people who live in this neighborhood, these are people who come in to do business."

"By getting lights in -leaving them*on, we hope it sends a message this isn't the place for that kind of business," she added.

"If our neighbors would pull together, improve property, it'd be a nicer place to work and live," said Donna Petersen.

"If everyone does a litle bit of their part, it can make a big difference," added her husband.

The girl did NOT come. Called them before I left the hotel. Was told the girl who they had been going to send over wound up calling in and saying she could not come since it was her time of the month. Another girldescribed as blonde 18 adn even cuter and the first one was on her way from Iowa and should be there in 10 minutes or so. I told them I was pressed for time and was heading out the door. if she had a cell phone they should call her and have her turn around.

I seem to be almost the only one posting here. I know there are other guys out there. are they all the ones who dont have interent? I posted some pics here a couple months ago and they have been looked at between 1100 and 1900 times so someone else is acessing the Quad City forum!

[Mister Quick]

Had things to attend to in QC yesterday and today.

Was with someone when I noticed a sign off of Avenue of the Cities and I-74 goingwest bound saying something to the effect of " Unwarranted repetitive driving prohibited". This sounds like a technical term for cruising. Is this the place High School kids go or is it to warn away other activities? Any locals know? Did not think about the sign last night when I was looking so no first hand info. I just found it interesting.

Suspect inclement weather did not help things last night. I saw nothing out in many passes through the Davenport cruise area and a couple in Rock Island. After it turned dark spotted a WSW and offered her a ride. She told me her name was Katie and she was 26. Also said it was the first time she had gotten in a car with a guy. Looked nice and clean a bit on the heavy side but not fat. She told me how she desperately needed $50 more than she had. Told her I had a hotel and headed off there. After a few minutes she was getting antsy. Said we were going to far away. She suggested I give her the $50 and we head back to the area I found her. She wanted to get something from her boyfriend. This guy later turned into a guy she had met last night who had something of hers. He would not return it until he got the $50 she owed him. I see a drug trransction here. She must have been new at this, real stupid or thought I was one of the two. Her proposal was that I would give her $50, she would get her stuff (drugs) back, I would tell her what hotel I was in and she would drive over to me and spend the night with me. Told her Not a good idea. Suggested we go to hotel, we have fun then I give her $50. She did not like this idea. She suspected her boyfriend might be gone bytime she got back. Told me I could have more fun with her and she would share her stuff. Any chance it was not drugs now slipped to none. She insisted I turn around and bring her back. I did. On the way she said she could give me a BJ while driving. I said OK but she would not get any money. This really annoyed her she asked why and told her I had my cash stashed in my hotel rooom so I would not get ripped off. Let her go where I found her very upset.

Crusied some more and saw nothing worth picking up. Did see the grandma aged SW who looks good from a block away. Lots of make up. Saw her on previus tip and passed.

Did notice that there are several notices posted on the door to After Hours. Stopped to read they indicate the building is not meeting neighborhood beautifcation requirements and cited numerous examples. Fines will be applied to the owners / tenants if they are not fixed by a certain date. The phone number on door is getting cell phone user unavailable message.

Wasting too much gas. Went back to hotel. Looking through QC Times. Noticed several ads for excort services. Never tried one before. Still had some cash left over from lottery win so decided to waste it here. Called several got 2 cell phone user unavailable messages, a voice mail and another with a woman who insisted she have my home address, DL number and home phone before she would telll me anything. Decided to go with only one that showed any promise one with number ending in 6536. Girl answered said her name was AJ, I gave her my high school nick name. Told me it would be $40 for a girl to come see me. I could expect a real good time for $140 total. Gave me a description of all girls. Picked one described as 22 YO petite brunette. White gal. This was her. She kept stressing how professional and prompt they were and how all the girls were exactly as described. She said she would call hotel to make sure I was in room I said I was and then be coming right over. Waited 15 minutes no phone call. Called her back in case I had given her wrong number. Got voice mail. Left message. Called again about every ten minutes. An hour after my first call get a guy who sounded black. Asked for AJ. Told me she was not around and to call later, in 10 minutes. Caleld again he answered again. Told me she was busy and I told him she was supposed to be coming over to see me. He asked if i was in hotel X? I said yes and he said she left to see me 15 minutes ago and should be there any minute. Waited , waited and waited some more. No AJ called again and got voice mail. Did this several times before giving up. Never saw her. So I guess with a service one can waste as much time but a lot less money on gas and get nothing.

Tried calling the one that had voice mail last night when I got up just over an hour ago. They answered and said they had several gals who could come right over in less than 30 minutes. Gave me some descriptions. Choose a 19 YO blonde gal. She has not yet shown up. I told them when they answered I had to be somewhere before 10 that is about 20-0 minutes from hotel so iif she was not around by 8:45 I would be taking off. I'll be doing that if I do not see her when I am done with this.

Found a young black girl listed on Des Moines Cl saying she is visiting Quad Cities and Iowa City. She has a 773 (Chicago) phone numberr. She is also listed as being in Rockford at the same time. No clue where she is I put her pics in the Rockford, IL section.

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.

Bend It

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.
