[QUOTE=SamIam;5029285]Is this your Jen? I had seen her back in the day.[/QUOTE]Yup, you got it correct.
[QUOTE=AnonBuxz;5029329]Yup, you got it correct.[/QUOTE]Thank you for your post and answering mine. From my prior experience with her it sounds like her, she has excellent skills.
Haven't seen it talked about here but I heard through the grapevine that either the 24th or 25th district police station will be relocating across from needle park in about a year. So basically LE will be somewhere around Kensington ave and F st.
I heard also that vice is back out and they're picking up Johns. If you don't recognize a SW I would be careful.
This special new Police district would open at a closed restaurant off of Kensington Avenue and F Street, across from McPherson Square, known by many in this part of town as "Needle Park. ".
Sanchez is the director of the Kensington Business Association, whose organization is working with a variety of community leaders to open the new district.
"This is not just a police thing. This is in partnerships with many of our partners, including the Department of Mental Health and Intellectual Disability Services," Sanchez said.
The final plans are still being worked out but Sanchez believes it could open by December or early next year, after City Council approval.
Sixty to 80 officers would work foot beats in the corridor, step-by-step hopefully changing this area for the better.
"We want to see it thriving and we expect it to happen and this is a very giant leap of a first step," Sanchez said.
Wow I can't believe she is gone. So sad. That pic is before she had her face tats I guess. Such a shame that she is gone, she was a good one.

No doubt, Kensington is a mess. From Leigh to Alleghany, its an open drug market with people shooting up on side walks without any concern of the police. It makes it hard for the mongers to tell which ones are working or just hanging out. I have found the most success outside of that area to the south and to the north.
Personally, I can't envision the day that they close down the street shopping for a BJ. It's like the game, Whack a Mole, you shut one area to have it pop up a few blocks away. But if the police and "Mental Services" can make a sizable dent in reducing the walking zombie population that seems to dominate the area, it should be worth the effort from a human compassion viewpoint.
As for us Mongers, most of us are beyond redemption anyway. Speaking for myself, all I want is skin flute session played by a maestro for a decent donation. Not setting the bar too high but I'm always seeking to clear it.

The report I saw indicated it would be in the closed restaurant there on the point. It was also stated the station would be open by years end. We will see.
As the problem has been brewing there for over 50 years, it will be interesting to see what if any changes at all take place. There's beat cops in the park now and nothing's changed except the increase of coffee and donuts at the Quick Stop across the street.
The report addressed the issue of the homeless, junkies that have taken over the park the past few years. Yet it stopped way short of addressing the real issue that fuels the junkies and prostitutes there. That being the the dealers that have overtaken the neighborhood. The squatters and the trap houses.
You all know as well as I do, all the places in that area that have twenty four hour service for drugs. They are doing more business than any Walgreens or CVS around.
F St. And Clementine, Clearfield and Custer, Weymouth, Potter St. Those are just a few corners on that side of Kensington Ave. Does the city really think these dealers are going to close up shop and leave because a police station is there? Ha! Ha! Ha! Yeah right. They will most likely burn that down too.
This city wants the world to believe they are doing something about the drug problems with "feel good stories" such as this". Yet it's this same city government that allowed the problem to fester so many years and become what it is today. Shows how foolish they think the rest of this city is.
One has to wonder how the city can prosecute people for drinking a beer under the public intoxication laws and look the other way about drug intoxication. Or public lewdness for taking a piss in an alley and allow people to drop their pants and take a shit in a public park. If that doesn't seem a bit crazy and double standard then nothing does. I always thought laws was supposed to be applied evenly, and fairly for all not just the sober among us.
The local civic groups go in that park and clean it up all the time because the homeless junkies and streetwalkers are to lazy to clean up after themselves. Could be a trash can two feet away and their trash never finds it. Two hours later you would never know it was cleaned. Makes one wonder how they lived at home if in public they are on good behavior.
I don't envy any cop that gets assigned to that beat. Putting a bunch of rookie cops in a spot like that is just another stupid move by politicians that throw good money after bad. They will be fighting a losing battle. Mainly because they are scared to death of the dealers there. They are afraid of gun battles which happen weekly if not daily. Rightly so. It's a live and let live mentality there when it comes to cops and dealers. So, what does the city do? They hammer the junkies and the streetwalkers. They know the junkies will simply move from corner to corner. Now, that has been the thought for as long as I can remember. One city department blames the other. The cops blame the politicians. The politicians blame the the D A. The D A blames the judges. We've all heard the pass the buck stories.
Don't forget, it was just this past June, four months ago, the National Guard was literally two doors away from the spot the new station house is supposed to be. What changed there? The five or six buildings right next door got burned to the ground that's what. The National Guard didn't change anything it's not probable the next graduating class of the Philadelphia Police Academy will have much affect either. Is the next police station on the corner next to be burned down? I wonder. Nothing I would more rather be is wrong on this.
Police station or no police station there I think the city is pissing against the wind on this. As long as the dealers flourish there, so will the streetwalkers and the junkies.
They could put five station houses there its doubtful things would change. The mold has already set.
Look around the street, there's six, eight cars sitting there just waiting for the girls to come out of the park. From Indiana all the way to Allegheny it's the same program.
Couple weeks ago I was right across the street from the park. I watched as a bunch of warrant unit cops chased a guy out of the park and toward Clearfield on Kensington. Girls walking the Ave. Junkies shooting up right there, half dozen nodders. Then one warrant unit cop tagged the guy with the his Taser. He stopped running right away. The guy should have listened when he was told "don't run".
Around the corner it is going to take a lot more than rookies, intimidation, and tasers to get that area under any degree of control. Better cops than we have now have tried and failed miserably. Even while the National Guard was there the girls and the dealers didn't lose a dime. It was business as usual. The park has become a prime spot for picking up working girls.
Many working girls "live" in that park. A lot of the cops date the girls from the park.
The cop dating has always been common knowledge from the days they would pick the girls up in the wagons and go down by the river and take turns. Now there are women on the force that has been changed to dating in the off duty hours. Still is common practice.
I like the old days when the girls had more common sense. The drugs have changed all that now. Now with the drugs the dates are a lot more risky. Because of the drugs the girls are more brazen. Rip offs are more common. High risk of being hit by stray bullets when on the playing field. The girls have always been around. Chances are they always will be.
When / if the station does open at F St. And Kensington, it will be interesting how that all plays out. In that building will reside those that think they are the ring master. The carnival of fools across the street and the circus of dealers right up the street and literally behind them. The show must go on. Me, I'm just an 'OL Gator.
Last night, a relatively warm night and I'm driving down Kensington about a half block south of the intersection with Allegheny. I am behind about 4-6 cars at a red light waiting for it to turn green when all of a sudden a gun shot rang out. That intersection has quite a bit of foot traffic on the sidewalks and sitting in my car, it was a sight to see as they sprinted down the sidewalk with terror in their eyes, quite literally running for their lives.
I was fortunate in that the front of my car was next to a side street so banged a right hand turn and headed out of there. I did notice later on the entire area was blocked with police tape closing down that block of Kensington for the next hour that I was around.
All was not lost, I am tenacious if nothing else and I found an old regular away from the crime scene and made a protein deposit in her willing mouth. It's good relief for a single Jackson, considering my predicament an hour earlier.

Yes, I know there was always a chance of that happening while driving down there, but it just seems more prevalent nowadays for some reason. I miss the chase. The hunt for that "golden mouth" that hasn't been attained yet or finding someone like Sharon or back in the day curly hair Nicole for a repeat visit, but for me, I'd rather not have to explain why there's a bullet hole in the car when I get home. Hopeful to return to the Ave again soon, until then I will thoroughly enjoy reading all of you guys' adventures. Stay safe everyone!

I don't blame you one bit though. Whenever entering the crazy maze expect to see some wild and crazy stuff. Goes with the territory.
Most important rule of mongering is trying to stay safe. If one doesn't feel in a safe position why risk it? Sometimes it's best to take a step back and reevaluate the game.
Although the volume of available employees on the strip varies from time to time, the risk is always present.
DonTrask pointed out, when the situation became testy he got out of there at the first available street to turn onto. Wednesday evening I was right there when the shots were fired. I counted no less than six. So I fully understand where you are coming from.
One main rule of driving I try to adhere to no matter where I drive. That is never pull up on the vehicle in front of me. Whether at a light or if it's stopped for any reason. I try to leave distance in case I need to get out of there fast. DonTrask report is exactly why.
One never knows what can happen. It's important we control as much of the risk factor as we can. How can we do that? Staying alert to what's happening around us is a key factor in our safety. Practice safe driving, both distance from the vehicle in front and maintain posted speed limits. Much of our safety lies within our own hands. Murphy said it best. "Anything that can go wrong usually does".
Don't get distracted when we see a girl. That puts us at all risk. Stop in the middle of traffic and then we deserve to get rear ended. There's a dozen more where she came from.
Pull off into a safe spot and make the score.

I'm actually more afraid of driving through Frankford then Kensington so I stay out of Frankford now.
Then over in Germantown a little over a week ago some guy went on a rampage with an AK47 and wound up shooting and killing a random young woman who was innocently just driving down the street. The woman that was killed was related to Bam from that early 2000 TV show jackass. It was his niece.

They don't care who sees them or as you said, if LEO sees them. Are these guys that deprived they would risk their and others safety trying to get a girl that may or just as well may not be a streetwalker? For gosh sake use a little discretion.
Also you are correct again. Street smarts and common sense go hand in had in this game. Main thing to keep in mind is picking up women to engage in sex for money is not legal. So why would anybody use no discretion and lay their actions out there where it's so obvious what they are doing? DUUUUUUHHHHHH!
The girls know very well what is going on. They know correct glance to throw to a guy. They also know the rookies and overzealous among us. Being over zealous to the point a girl sees it puts that monger in a bad spot before he gets his pants unzipped.
Her wheels are already turning before she even gets in his car. She's planning her game to maximize her return. Best thing we can do is try and make it appear we know what we are doing. That at least levels the playing field. Me, I'm just an 'OL Gator.

[/QUOTE]I hear you guys and agree. But let me add this perspective. [B]Sometimes you don't know, what you don't know![/B].
I know when I started dating, I had no street smarts at all. Not everyone is so aware. So since I knew I wasn't "street" I made allowances for that. Can't say that even after years of dating that I'd consider myself "street" but can handle most of what goes down and avoid a bunch of the rest. So growing up in North Philly perhaps ingrained some of that street sense, while burbs mongers need to learn those skills.
Can some of that 'street smarts' be taught here and learned on these threads?
If it can there are probably no better teachers, as demonstrated by your posts! Keep up the good work.
