.[/QUOTE]It definitely looks like, a very unhappy, Michelle Passions. Hate to see that. Very sweet girl, great service. Saw her a couple years ago. Franklin is just not the place to be. I have steered some other ladies away from that area. Wish I had a chance to warn her before it was too late.

Here is a link to the bust I was referring to:

Franklin PD is rarely quiet about its grand accomplishments.
They also routinely over-charge individuals with the Promoting statute; they'll do anything to hike the bond on an out-of-towner.

You'd think he has a burner phone or something. But not the government issued phone. But it's wonderful to know that the Mayor is "taking full responsibility" for his actions and he isn't going to "throw anybody under the bus. ".
If you're the mayor, you should be using better judgement in your hobbying.

So maybe he was calling somebody on craigslist to buy a item which some sellers uses virtual numbers then the seller got rid of the number then a escort picked it up and started using it. So by the time the news got ahold of the numbers and searched the number the escort ad shows up.
Atleast that should had been his excuse and fully believable especially if the number is a virtual number which could be easily checked to see so.
More Ashley Madison fallout, also an update on the Rentboy prosecution.

So is it safe to make a trip to Nashville.
[QUOTE=LovelyBrandy;2641031]So is it safe to make a trip to Nashville.[/QUOTE]As long as you are cautious and meet up with safe friends, like some of us here in this forum, you should be ok. In addition, don't draw a lot of attention to yourself or where you are staying; don't stay at one place too long; avoid the low end hotels. If possible, stay at a hotel where entrance to the room is from the inside as this does not give LEO easy view from outside.
Some of us here have met you before, we would love to see you again, I know I would. Be safe!
Looks like someone got turned in order to save themselves!

G.[/QUOTE]Very seriously doubt that will happen. Way to many condos and apartments being bulit. The gulch redevelopment has scooped up a lot of the old spots. Showtime is a mixed retail buliding now. The next push will be Miranda when the division street connector is done. The powers to be are slowly but surely pushing the adult industry out.
[QUOTE=TrailerGuy;2673044] . . . Showtime is a mixed retail buliding now. . . . [/QUOTE]When you think about it, there was a fun mix of retail services offered there when it was Showtime. Bet there's not even any sushi now, LOL. In what world does that "improve" the neighborhood?
You guys have to read this, it is WILD. And scary. Really makes you think about the hobby. Even though the different participants tell slightly different stories, it is based on a real event. Rolling Stone picked up on it too, which is the second link. First link is the account of one of the girls involved, which kicked everything off.
