Details of Friday's sting are up on the HPD's website. Names and addresses are posted for those that assumed that they no longer do this.
Picking up in Street action, but at what cost?
out of bordom, decided to take a little night stroll into Hartford, along some of the old trolling grounds.. Yes Indeed,
action has picked-up, but, at what cost? Mind you, I've always been a nighttime troller, mainly because my
normal life keeps me too busy during the daytime.. One thing noticed, action seems to pick-up a few hours before it
used to. (around 11PM to 12:30AM now, it used to be 2AM to 3AM was the hot-zone hour) But, from someone
who'd been spoiled by AMPs, and the old days, it's a jungle out there now. I followed my old loop along the west-
end, near the old chippy building. (If you know the area).. Quite a few out Fri-Sat cross-over, but it's a 3-5 rating
zone at best.. with a few 1's tossed in (had one girl, on just the 1st drive through, yell to get attention.. Girl,
That's DUMB!) I usually stick to the area south-east of the pig-cams. But even had one girl try to get me
to pull over, whilst standing right under one camera.. The clientel has gone from desparate, to Suicidal! I think I only
made 2 loops through, before heading down to the south end of town. N.B. & weth. roads nearly barren. A few walking
along Washington, N.B., and some of the side roads (at most, 6 seen.) Nothing to write home about.. (3-4 grade)
What someone said, about the warmer weather bringing more out, is true, but the grade, from wsw, hsw, bsw,
was pretty pathetic. the old hunting grounds are picked pretty bare, and leaving nothing but scraps. LE has made it
tougher, and moral-minded politics have put even tighter screws on the coffin.
I guess I'll just have to stick to further jaunts, but even I'm not a millionaire, (even if I could win the powerball.)
so I guess I'm getting too old for this hobby.. (yes, I know, who ever really grows up, doing this hobby?)
