Can anyone tell me some streets and intersections where I can find a hoe in Hartford?

Supposed to meet Melissa from New Britain at 9 at her friends apartment in Hartford west end.Auto accident in front of apt had several LE there with lights on so I kept going. Called her friends number but it was busy. Went to Farmington, Ashley, Albany for an hour an saw 0 SW. Went home bummed out. Phone rings at 1145 an its Mellisalooking for some company. Over I go to pick her up. Again she is one of my all time top 10, maybe 5, SW. We have become friends over the years. That sometimes happens but she is still a version of a SW but you wont find her on the street.A body to kill for. Classic Latina. Been away for 2 years.She is looking for an apartment an if any of you guys have one she is willing to trade for rent.

I want to start off by saying that I have NO inside information on Alpha, all my comments here are from reading the Hartford Courant and then thinking about Alpha while I was shoveling my driveway this morning.

There has got to be more to the Alpha story than what is written in the Courant's "front page, above the fold" article. The amount of money that was supposedly money-laundered in Swiss bank accounts is way too high to have been made totally from the house fee charged at the Alpha.

Do the math: an average 30 paying customers per day @ an average $50 house fee per customer x 300 days open = $450,000 gross revenue per year. Subtract the unavoidable costs of operation - rent, telephone, credit card account processing expenses, heat, electricity, water, laundry expenses, other cleaning expenses, some salary for the non-escort employees, some routine maintenance, plus pay-offs to the cops, even the cost of the free soda in small paper cups that the customers always received, and you end up with a healthy profit for the owner Gail, but nowhere near enough to have several million dollars in a Swiss bank account.

Now, I have no inside info as to pay-offs to the cops, but something like that had to be going on, since Alpha stayed open long after all of the other MPs in Hartford closed years ago.

I chuckled at the some of the comments about residents complaining about Alpha spoiling the neighborhood. Huh? That neighborhood is not exactly the neighborhood where the Governor's mansion is - a biker bar across the street, something clearly suspicious in the house next door to the Alpha building, lots of drug dealers and other scuzzballs in the area. Alpha's been closed for over three months but the neighborhood doesn't look any better now than it did last year!

And Alpha didn't generate that much traffic, no more than any other business that could have been there. In fact, if it had been a regular health club, there would have been lots more traffic into the late hours - just drive by the Bally's club on New Britain Avenue in West Hartford at 10:30 p.m. any evening and the parking lot will be more than half-filled.

Prediction - this isn't the last article that we'll be reading about Alpha in the Courant.

I picked up Betty 2 weeks ago and she gave a good performance.I called her on the phone and set up a time to meet and she was there when I got into town. She is a young hsw and likes to f---. she has very little tit but makes up for it in the ass dept. I would rate her a 6-7-7 and a good find for what I have seen in the area lately.

play safe

BB.

Gentlemen,

Newbie here. How can I get some of those phone numbers you guys keep speaking about? Girlfriend is out of town on business and I want to get in a lottle trouble, if you know what I mean.

Woman Made Millions Running Hartford Brothel
3:40 PM EST,March 17, 2004
By MATT BURGARD, The Hartford Courant

A 63-year-old Newington woman has pleaded guilty to charges that she made millions of dollars over the last 25 years as the "madam" of a Hartford brothel that billed itself as a health and fitness center.

In a hearing today at U.S. District Court in Hartford, Gail Gaer admitted that, as an owner of the Alpha Leisure & Health Club Inc. on Franklin Avenue, she profited from a large-scale prostutition operation that employed dozens of prostitutes and numbered more than 4,600 "customers," according to federal prosecutors.

The lengthy investigation into the club came after years of complaints from residents in the city's South End, where the club is located next to a deli on one of Hartford's most famous thoroughfares. Residents repeatedly said they suspected prostitution was taking place at the club after seeing men and women enter the building at all hours, even when the club appeared closed.

Kevin J. O'Connor, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, said the crackdown was the result of intensive cooperation between federal law enforcement and Hartford police, as well as the public.

"This was a significant and sophisticated prostitution operation that existed for too long," he said.

BTW Spearsman 450k a year for 25 years is a lot of money

Bill Buxton...Glad you enjoyed Betty too. Glad to be of service.
I strongly suggest you read the ENTIRE article in todays Hartford Courant. The post before this DID NOT have all the pertainant details an was an early edition of the Courant story.

Dear MyHobby:

Yes, 450K a year would add up to a lot of money if one could keep all of it.

But my point was that many of the expenses of running Alpha are unavoidable expenses that must be paid for in cash. It is possible that soda and paper cups were supplied to Alpha free of charge by a horny Coca-Cola truck driver in return for an "oral greeting" but that won't work with CL&P, the MDC, SNET, etc.

And after you deduct all of the unavoidable costs of doing business, more than half of the supposed 450 K is gone, leaving a healthy amount to pay for the owner's daily living expenses (house, car, food, clothing, etc.) but most likely not enough to add up to several million dollars in a Swiss bank account.

So there has to be more to the story than what we were told this morning. But this is pure speculation on my part, nothing more.

Mighty Spearsman:

I understand what you're saying, you may be right about there being more to it, but the article indicates this lady was running this business for 25 years.

If your estimates are accurate, $450,000 per year, for 25 years equals $11.25 million. Even if her NET profit was only half of this (I would estimate it would be more like 60 - 70%), that's more than $5.5 million to invest. Remember, this is her principal investment, spread over a 25 year period. Even at a very conservative estimate of a 5% return and monthly investments, she could have netted over $11.25 million, and with a more likely return of 10%, we're looking at almost $25 million.

Monger22,

I just read your post on Melissa from New Britain. Unfortunately I don't have an apartment for her. I would not mind running into her on the streets of New Britain.

Thats not true, I run a restaurant and last year we had a sale of $900,000. How much did I get to keep? Around 300k after all the expenses. So you keep a lot less then half in a legal business. But if you need to pay off the cops and stuff you will keep even less.

Mighty: Your annual gross is flawed. Just look at Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday nites alone. Were talking 10 rooms here. How many
of these nites has there been "waiting for room" only!

Days, almost always by apointment. How many times did you see
only 1 or 2 girls in the longue, out of 10 on schedule.

I'd take you figure and triple it, easily.

Can anyone recomend a short stya hotel in the Hartfrod, CT area.
And what the expected cost are along with how many hours to expect.

Thanks

Help Needed:

Net profit margin is very industry dependent. I am a small business owner, and my net margin is a bit over 68%. Her overhead would not have approached that of a typical restaurant operation. In addition, I’m not knowledgeable as to how much additional income she may have received from any cut of the tips she may have required from the girls.

By the way, your 33% net profit margin is quite good for the restaurant business.
