It's so bad out there. But not all bad
I've been mostly out of the area for years, but I have visited occasionally. Work will have me back in the area more now. Tonight I started strolling the K at sunset. Spent a couple hours arguing with myself about how low my standards would go. I finally saw a girl who didn't look like a complete train wreck. Picked her up near K and Cambria. 20 something blonde, clothed in many layers.
Very slow moving and so quiet speaking I could barely hear her. Everything about her was slow, like a sloth. But she was very nice. Tried a BJ, but just couldn't get a rhythm going with her. Not all her fault, so still paid her and dropped her off. Anyone know what her name is? She was so quiet I couldn't make it out, maybe Bree or something like that?
I went back over to the Buckius area and the lights were off in the area. No streetlights or stoplights! Almost got hit a few times by people that don't understand that these intersections become 4-way stops when the lights don't work. When I turned onto E. Pike St, there was a nice looking girl standing there. Tall, standing straight up instead of slumped over. She walked normally to my car instead of a zombie shuffle. Looked promising! She got in and said she's Beth. Speech a little slurred, but wide awake and able to hold up her end of a conversation. Pretty enough face, hair died dark red (I think), seemed like a decent body. I asked her if 30 was ok for a BJ and she nodded yes but I could tell she was a little disappointed. So I said "well, I don't want a 30 dollar BJ, I want a 40 dollar BJ. LOL. I don't want ordinary, I want your best" she brightened up with a big smile and I got a great BJ. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it is the best SW BBBJ I've had in a few years. I'd recommend Beth and I'll be looking for her again as I'm back in Philly more often now.
Don't Know What to Believe Anymore
[QUOTE=MyDarkSide;6223357]LOL. Car jacking has doubled from this time last year. Gas stations are prime targets. Murder is up slightly from the record year of 2021. Gun robberies up 60%. All this while the national trend is decreasing slightly. Philly's approach has been a disaster to law abiding residents.[/QUOTE]Krasner office wrote IMO a pretty compelling response to charges to impeach (see [URL]https://phillyda.org/news/factcheck-pa-house-gops-big-impeachment-lies/[/URL]) that addresses the problems Philadelphia is facing.
Disaster for All Citizens
[QUOTE=BeefNoodleSoup;6223956]Since I'm a pretty active monger, I don't consider myself to be a law abiding citizen. I don't know if you guys feel the same.[/QUOTE]Sad that people need to be fearful of venturing into parts of city that were previously considered safe (South Street / University City / etc.). Philly has always had bad areas, but now it feels as if no place is immune from the violence. I would not consider myself a 100% Law Abiding Citizen (speeding and mongering my two primary vices. I would however say that I am law abiding when it comes to crimes against others.
Lots of bad drivers and car accidents happening
Been noticing a lot of bad drivers out. I'm in many close calls each time I go out in the stroll.
The other day I was driving down a two way road. A guy in the incoming lane was trying to pass a car by driving on the wrong side (my lane). The guy he was trying to pass wouldn't let him pass so there were two cars speeding down the road. I had to swerve into a parking spot to avoid a head on collision.
Some dude decides to go driving with tinted up windows that were also fogged up. There was a sudden buildup of traffic because a lane was closed and he ends up going full speed into the car next to mine. Both cars totaled. If I was in the other lane, I would have been f-ed in the a.
