Short stay in Hartford: just past Hooters on the Berlin Turnpike there is one called High Ridge. $35 for 2 hours. Not bad. You need to show id so do not try signing Mickey Mouse on registration card. I have also used the USA which is on that same side by Hoffmans. Very nice for a short stay. Don't recall what I paid. Howard Johnson on Silas Deane does short stay also, but does not advertise that.

More on Alpha from the Courant:
http://www.ctnow.com/news/local/hr/hc-brothel0318.artmar18,1,6942414.story
My favorite quote:
"The amount of time and resources that went into this operation was just incredible," said acting Hartford Police Chief Mark R. Pawlina
But I'm confused. The article seems to be missing any comments about the victims of this heinous crime. It just had to be terrible, pulling police and Feds away from high priorities of drug dealers and violent street crime. Probably unmentionable. Best left unsaid.

She was making good money, but I think she got greedy. From all accounts, some hands didn't get paid and she flaunted them. They decided to up the antey on her, busting her balls as usual. Unlike other times however, someone bit off more than they can chew. Didn't expect the feds to get so doggedly involved.
If you notice, the big tag was due to credit cards. Funny isn't it? Yet what is amazing is how they made the connect via receipts. Did she really keep receipts and customer signed them? Can't be.
We ourselves had a big discussion about credit cards and and providers. The number ONE method used to shut these places down has been through credit cards. It has far from shut the industry down, yet its clear now and forever more...don't use'em....ever.
Tax dollars down a hole yet again of course..yet, who will have the balls to take up the niche left by the A? There is nothing besides SW and crack addicts in Central Mass, Central CT, Eastern CT, or South Eastern Ct. She raked in cause her competition was gone, she had great safe, consistent locale that was crime free and she had backing.
In my mind, I have to wonder what those thousands and thousands of hard working, money making clients have gone to? All walks of life that were gainfully employed or had means to enjoy a treat. Are they at the Waterbury AMPs? Bridgeport AMPs? Private escorts viz Advocate? Bangng there wive's best friends?
Also...she plead guilty. That in of itself is curious. Plea bargain to get others?

I think you hit it again Stoner, The same thing happened to Brandy (Of Tiki Gardens in Norwich) 20 years ago.
Once the Feds get you for tax evasion, A plea bargain could be your only hope that you won't spend the next thirty years in the can.
If she only does five years, when she's out she will still have her coffee cans filled with cash to live on.
I was recently told the LE in R.I. are aware what goes on in the AMP'S. They would rather let that go on, then see us getting it in some parking lot for all the world to witness.
-
My two cents on turnpike lodging,
I would go a little further down the Pike and use the Grantmoor.
The same short stay price ( $ 35 ) as the others mentioned, but with a much cleaner and safer atmosphere. Also, discreet parking in back.

Any new street action going on there?

Stoner:
Fine observation, my friend.

Have an hour to look tonight. pretty much bare all over. Found Carmen walking home. had not seen her lately. 5 ft 1 95 lb A cup, good attitude about 30 YO or so. Will meet the right guys an has a phone. Shes bored.

Drove through DP last night at about 1:30am. Saw 1 BSW and 1 HSW. Would have stopped for the HSW, but was on the clock. She was a 6-7 on the scale, nice and slender, with long hair. Surprised to see that they were out so late.

Alpha: Just announced on Hartford Police Website that the
manager (Jeannie) of Alpha pleaded guilty to taking credit cards
for prositution. Thast's BullShit. They ought to go after the banks
that approved the charges.
-
33 prostitutes an druggies arrested in Hartford last week according to todays Courant. LE still on the hunt. Maybe that explains why streets have been so empty.
-
Manager of A pleads guilty yesterday according to new story in this ams Courant.Second guilty plea in a week with more to come.
But more important is EDITORIAL PAGE article calling for arrest of the 4600 patrons who LE have names an addresses for . Any not past the 10 year statute of limitations they want arrested. Plus they call for investigation of HTFD PD as to why they didnt close it down.Looks like Courant intends to make 4600 names public an see if there are any well know people on the list. Read the Editorial. Makes for chilling reading.

Don't worry about it... LE cannot make an arrest for a misdemeanor unless they witness the actual crime.

This morning's article about Alpha was buried on Page B9 of the Connecticut section, for those of you looking for it. Headline reads "Crackdown on Brothel; Manager Pleads Guilty." The story further proves Stoner's point about credit cards.
Looks like I may have underestimated the amount of money available for the owner to stash into a Swiss bank account, so thanks to everyone for the lively discussion over the last week. Even if the owner had only hidden $100,000 a year (after spa expenses and her own requirements) of the presumed $450K - $500K gross revenue, over a 25-year period that amount would have grown tremendously if the interest earned was reinvested.
Something that intrigued me about today's story was that the manager, Josephine Ramondetta, "admitted that she made about $177,000 in the six years that she managed the club." Guys, that's less than $30,000 a year for six years, a lot less than the owner or the working girls made, and about the same salary as a clerk in an office in downtown Hartford. Makes me wonder if she cooperated in the investigation in return for a reduced sentence? Hmmmmm.
Yes, I'm curious about the list of 4,600 customers. Glad I'm not on it, since I've never been to Alpha. All of my posts here on WSG are pure fiction.

4,600 names! Ouch! I am assuming that could only be the credit card customers. The "book" just had first name and last initial.
