MLK / Wells Stroll a few days ago after the storm leftovers. Idunno 🤔. The pickens aint looking too promising ☹. Heading down to the S Broadway Stroll later on. At this point it seems as though it's the same ol miserabe action here in good ol St Louis Misery. Prolly head back out of town in a few days for better stroll action. Anyway this is Shay, Lisa, Kelly, Kiara, Brittany, and Victoria Biggs. Or at least these were the names they told me 🙄. Be cool. ZIP 👊!

Rolled through the MLK / Wells Stroll a few days ago after the storm. Still plenty of black hookers out with two white hookers tossed in. These are the ho's I ran into. Shay, Lisa, Kelly, Kiara, Brittany an Big Two Ton Victoria 😲. LOL! Good luck on the MLK Stroll. Sheesh 😔. Guess I'll head down to the South Broadway Stroll later to see what's going on 😒.

Two notable working girls were killed recently, a week apart in separate unrelated events. Nothing to do with the tornado; they were both murdered, before that ripped through their hoods. They aren't likely to be known by the SBW regulars who most often post in this thread, but they will be missed by a lot of the many lurkers of this site who aren't in that social club.

First was Diane, the very tall, slender, blonde & uncommonly bright middle-aged woman who always attracted a lot of attention whenever she was out, whose body was apparently dumped in an old closed church in the College Hill neighborhood. There's been nothing that I can find either publicly or informally from some neighbors who knew her well about who, why, or how, other than it has been officially called "a homicide. " I knew her pretty well beyond what she did for a living. I'd like to be wrong, but I doubt it will ever be known what happened.

Then a week later Ariel was shot and killed in a dope house on Wells near Academy. Ariel was the young (mid-twenties) totally crazy as a loon, but very cute girl, who usually stayed in & worked at a different north city neighborhood about three miles away from there (at a common working girl hangout spot that's not ever discussed in this thread). She was one of the three other people killed by the whacked out dude who committed suicide by cop, by shooting at them when they came to investigate after somebody noticed the dead guy on the porch, then found two other bodies inside the house. If you're confused about which Ariel from the West End location where she wan't a regular, this is the Ariel that always wore a head wrap. (Requests to identify the deliberately unspecified place she normally worked will be politely ignored. If you know, you know. Nobody will benefit from a sudden invasion now by some of the dipsticks here who tend to make a ridiculously indiscreet spectacle of themselves, and it's real hard to even get in & out of there now anyways.).

So, first of all, hello folks. This isn't my usual haunt, but I'm in the area and found myself with a free weekend so I decided to take the tour of the scene and I have to say, I'm used to seeing my share of Skags, but you've got some particularly nasty looking things crawling your streets, which is a surprise seeing how lax your local LEOs are on the overnights, I would've expected more girls and better quality because of that. Actually I'm pretty sure I saw an equal number of old black men getting picked as I did "women"(bridge trolls?

Maybe it was just a bad night because of the rain until midnight, but the only activity I saw was in the ho-zone layer between the Casino and Bates Bridges and a few homeless by the laundromat, though I did do several runs throughout the day as far south as the walmart / walgreens near 255 and went along the path of Broadway to Grand Ave to Florissant Ave as far north as the Love's, making a few stops as I went to talk to locals and Security guards as I played tourist. I will say it was rather interesting watching and hearing about the gang activities in this city, as I've never quite seen it run as rampant anywhere else I've traveled, though I'm suspecting that's part of the reason why LEO presence was so scarce overnight.

I think that pretty much covers my night, any tips for a tourist would be appreciated as I expect this won't be my last time it the STL area with free time.

As a final bit, I also checked out the websites to see what was on the market in the area and prices and I got to say, the Ho-flation is real here, both price and weight wise.

Unfortunately you are 150% right. I've mentioned this probably a hundred times over the past couple of years. The strolls here in St Louis Misery are the worst in the nation. It's almost embarrassing 😒. Over the past few months I've visited other cities and each one had better looking prostitutes to chose fron. Here in St Louis you have a better chance of picking up a decent looking prostitute at St Mathew Cemetary on Bates 😳.

I've never seen the vehicle in question on the stroll, but I have seen a similar one that sounds very similar (unmarked light gray late model F150) further north on Broadway /7th around the brewery in Soulard. It's camped 2 or 3 times a week, usually around rush hour pulling over semis carrying more weight than is allowed on Broadway. If you're familiar with stretch the pavement is all chewed up and buckled like it is on the stroll. They get heavy semis trying to use Broadway to bypass 55 when it starts really stacking up that time of day.

It could be a mundane explanation but always be safe, trust your spidey senses, etc. Even in that best case scenario I'm sure he's scaring off some foot traffic.

Soulard has a lot of logistic companies and industry between Broadway /7th and the river. STL Metro has a commercial vehicle division, as does STL County. That's why you see all the semis pulled over in Soulard. It's been going on for years. Although you will NEVER see an AB or Penske truck pulled over. You won't see those officers south of Lemp

I don't mess with street walkers, but a few years back some of the residents, led by an Alderman, were watching, following and posting on Social Media pictures and videos of John's on the stroll. The reason I know this is because a coworker came to work and showed a video off of FB of the ending of an "encounter" in an alley off of Bates. He is a State Street Original and the John was his wife's cousin. There were a lot of pictures and videos on that page of vehicles picking up and strolling, with plate info visible.

I'm not saying that's what it is, I'm just saying that's what I was a witness to.

I do not have Social Media anymore, and even then I was not a part of the page that these things were posted on. I am just stating what I was shown on someone else's phone from their FB page. This was 19 or early 20. I want to say it was a page for the Carondelet Neighborhood. But I could be mistaken.

So I drove the stroll a few times this week and didn't see much of anything. MAYBE 1 SW getting out of a car by the bridge. However, I didn't turn back around as I saw something very strange.

Wednesday night around 8 pm I was headed north from casino. As I past the bridge there was a newer ford truck parked on the side of the road. Driver window was down with a guy in neon green t sitting there. I passed as he 'monitored'. Thought it a little weird. Stopped at the gas station, killed a little time, made my 'round' south and sure enough there he was. Even head turned to watch me. While I may be over thinking he did have a white earbud in his ear.

Needless to say I bounced. I felt it HIGHLY unlikely he was just waiting for service to come his way. And even if it WAS someone waiting, he (imo) was drawing TOO much attention to the bridge.

So am I crazy or anyone with more SW experience have a viewpoint here?

They also have public utility trucks like Amren and Spires.

Alos beat-to- hell firebirds, VWs. Anything.

All they need is a Motorola.

Be careful I gas this same truck about a month ago. I was driving the stroller and saw a white SW by the railroad picking cans up. I turned in the side streets to pick her up from the other side and noticed the truck at the bottom of the road, I looped around assuming it would either more along or pick her up but it stayed there kinda just watching g over her. Needle say my spider sense was going off so I left and found another one near the bridge on a side street however someone beat me to her as I was pulling up. I did another circle because I saw another near the same spot when all of a sudden I see that same truck coming towards me. I decided to just keep on going but it was definitely creepy.

If its light grey 2015+ F150, I've seen it cruise non-stop. Figured it was just another monger.

Sounds about right.

Be safe out there. You never know. Seemed a little off which is why I'm mentioning it.

Just don't see anyone thinking parking there at 8 ish and waiting is a good idea.

[Knucklebuck]

I believe it to be a white or light grey (dark at the bridge) newer ford. The guy in the drivers seat was not in any type of uniform. It was the typical florescent green construction t-shirt. (And I think a baseball hat but again, I'm getting old so).

What color was the truck? Occasionally there has been a white unmarked pickup in the area. I don't remember the make. A while back I actually saw it pull a car over for speeding and passing in the turning lane a little south of the bridge.

I've seen the unmarked DOT trucks and unmarked LEO trucks before and this did not appear to be one. When I passed there were no antenna nor was there lights hidden in grill. Regular Missouri plates to. Hell, it coulda been a 'spotter'. Marking / reporting for another car. However, I did not see anything else anywhere (like ready to pull out of lot further down the road).

It would not surprise me if it was some idiot who thinks it's curbside service. Just wait till your 'order is up'.
