Junkers are now ok to Drive
You think the bad drivers with their beat up cars are bad now, watch what will happen when this goes into effect in the summer. I can see the middle getting mashed in philly with higher car insurance premiums because basically people will be able to drive illegally in Philly. What a joke this is.

Bad Experiences Lead to Learning
[QUOTE=GStringLvr1;5623906]Picked up girl on Saturday around 10:30 pm Near sedgley went to popular spot off Frankford Ave all of a sudden a white SUV pulled up 2 guys jumped out pulled a gun and tried to carjack us thankfully got away but others beware.[/QUOTE]Sorry about your bad experience! It sucks when stuff like this happens. Glad you got out OK.
I have had stuff happen to me in the past and when it does I go home, wait a day or two then do a mission debrief. I look at what I did and what were likely the contributing factors to the bad situation. What I found is that IF I can get out of the 'self cloud' and see an objective view, then I can find places to improve.
For me "the rules" have always been a guide, so I don't have to relearn what others have experienced. I like to build on those.
Now not being critical of anyone, but here is what I see from what was written. Just trying to get my head around how this happened?
If it was a place the girl directed a dude to, then it was a set up. As the rules and others have said, never go to the spot the girl selects. Alternatively, perhaps one was observed making the scoop and followed? That would suggest more discreet methods. Finally, "went to a popular spot" Hmmm. I guess if a lot of dudes use that spot and girls or people in the area know about it then it isn't a safe place. Point is the streets are wiser than any of us will be. So pick your own spot. Oh and make sure you have an escape route, I. E. Don't parallel park in a tight spot, park headed out, be able to go right or left as well as forward or back.
I like to hide in plain sight. Around back of a business is likely to be monitored by cameras or if seen by LE attract attention. But parking in a lot with other cars draws no attention, unless security knows exactly the cars in the lot and the one you are in is extra.
Again, sorry for the bad experience. There are many ways to play the game. Don't let one experience hold you back, review the situation, figure out what you could do differently and learn from it and become a better monger.
Good luck!
Afternoon mongering? Another idea Safe mongering
[QUOTE=KenAllen;5624656]Thanks for sharing. This is why I prefer afternoon mongering.[/QUOTE]Don't let the time-of-day lull you into a sense of false security. Granted nighttime makes things easier for the boneheads that have get rich quick schemes running through their heads. You are only fooling yourself and becoming a viable target if you think for a moment, they won't bother you during daylight. Think again. Don't brainwash yourself into thinking because it's daytime we are any less at risk. That's a fool's way of thinking. Get too comfortable in that broken rocking chair we will find ourselves flat on our ass if not our back.
I have seen people chased, beaten, and killed in the daylight hours in Kensington. I've watched assholes beat people and when they lose consciousness go through their pockets. I've seen people have their cars destroyed by thugs right on Kensington Ave at 1:00 in the afternoon in traffic. Pay attention to the news reports. You will find people get shot everywhere in broad daylight or under the cover of darkness. It does not matter. Not to mention there will be 50 onlookers that get a sudden case of blindness and amnesia. Not that many can see that well or have the clearest minds in the first place. So that blows that daylight safety factor right out of the water.
That idea of being safe during daylight hours is the biggest myth perpetuated on this board. The only thing daylight might offer is one can better see what's coming at them and the people standing around watching it happen. It has nothing to do with the time of day. It's where we are that puts us at risk. Get that ingrained in our heads and we take a step toward safety.
Thugs don't give two shits who see them do anything. That umbrella has a lot of holes in it. They have their own laws and the cops are as much afraid of them as you are. The only time in Kensington they rush is after the crime happens. Or when fresh donuts are done. The guns, clubs, and fools are as real as it gets out there. Those that don't understand that or believe that have no business being in the area. To think for a moment daylight hours offer any level of safety is step one toward stupidity. Picture Kensington as a minefield. At any moment day or night something can happen without warning.
One spot that is an open market on people in this game is Buckius to Jasper from Pike to Kensington on Jasper. You are asking for trouble there. That is and always has been a prime area for thugs to lay in wait. They put girls out there knowing stupid guys will step right into that shit knowing it's there. If there's one place to avoid on the strip, I would say that is the number one spot. There have been easy pickings there for girls and thugs for as long as I can remember. Every few months somebody gets held up there because they picked door three when they should have picked door one. That's the ones we hear about. Now, I doubt the thugs take a hiatus. How many people just lick their wounds and don't say anything?
If I can offer one bit of strong advice it's this. Find a place that feels safe. Recon that spot at various times of the day or night. That will give a pretty good idea of the activity level there. If possible, park so one side of the vehicle is inaccessible and you can see what's coming toward you or behind you and from the open side. While there NEVER SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. That way if you need to leave in a hurry, you can without restarting the car. Let that be your toilet paper should shit happen. You are the only one you can depend on out there. Me, I'm just an 'OL Gator.
There is no "right" answer
[QUOTE=BusterHymen;5633874]Question for the team. Prior to Covid, I came to the city of Brotherly Love at least once a month on business. Spent a lot of time either on the K stroll or the Camden B-way strolls. Unfortunately, have not been there since February 2020.
Anyhow, here is my main question: Before Covid, I found some of the better finds in a couple spots where I have not seen the Youtube guys frequent, such as off-K spots like Jasper St. Are the streets as dry of workers as the videos show?[/QUOTE]I don't profess to speak to the question with any expertise. But I have been traveling for business (same as you) so on occasion, I will ride up K Ave and explore its nooks and crannies in search of some action. Some nights, it's damn near impossible to find anything, other nights its flush with available choices (and its important to note, when I say available choices, I mean a girl that you could stroll into the Cherry Hill Mall and people won't notice that she is a SW) Doesn't have to be great looking or a great body but clean clothes and some semblance of daily hygiene is my bare minimum.
I would say its trending up as of late. I might be that old foggy that remembers the good ol days and I don't think K Avenue has returned to pre Covid days but not all is lost to the monger with more than a little patience and is willing to put in some recon work prior to pick up. K Ave will always have its share of zombies, that will probably never change but there is a gold nugget out there every once in awhile. It's like the terrible golfer who shoots a poor score but nails one or two shots within inches of the pin that keeps him coming back for more. Good luck hunting.
Looking for someone with Lauren contact info
Hey folks. I met very tall, thin, blonde, Lauren last night, got home, and realized she'd left her purse in my car. I'd like to get it back to her. I know she has digits, because she offered them (I passed). If anyone can either send me her number, or facilitate, I'd appreciate it.
You seem like a good guy jtown

But the sad reality is that if she didn't forget it in your car, she would have easily left it somewhere else. These girls are in a bad mental state where they can't maintain any responsibilities. I'm surprised she could even manage to hold on to a phone.
You win some, you lose some
Picked up Stephanie near the quick stop. She has a medium build with long curly blonde hair. Missing one or more of her front teeth. The experience was quite horrible. Total rip-off. She was super paranoid from the beginning. She wanted to go to her spot (in retrospect maybe because some dude was going to try to rob me or something) we ended up going to a place I chose. She wanted to smoke crack in my car and made a big stink when I told her to just wait until we finished. She kept getting calls during the whole encounter. She said her pimp wanted her back. After a half hearted BJ that lasted less than a minute she said she had to go. I figured at that point I should just cut my losses.
She reminded me of someone I bumped into when I first started mongering on the ave. Her name was Kathleen who has done several interviews on amlfilms.

This was about a year ago. Her teeth were all rotten and jagged like a diseased shark. I picked her up and right from the beginning Kathleen was acting very strange and coked up. Then she wanted the money as I was driving and tried to do a BJ while I was driving. Then she abruptly said to pull over a block from ave and stop right in plain view of anyone walking by. I just gave her some money to f-off and as she was exiting she met up with a black guy who I'm guessing was her pimp / dealer / bf. A few months after this, I see her standing on the ave looking very miserable and getting passed up by everyone. Seems like she was forced to get clean because she ran out of people to rip off.
