No matter what, I post whatever I run into. If I take the picture, I post it. Why? I know I don't have to, but it is all part of the game. The good, the Bad and the Ugly. It is all part of the educational process. How else do we learn but from our mistakes.
CookyJar[/QUOTE]You really should write a book one day.
Just saw my AC mongering buddy Forth Ryte's question from early August. It's crazy the way you learn to master the streets of towns you monger in a lot. My knowledge of my own neighborhood streets is probably one-tenth of the knowledge I have of AC and Philly stroll streets.
I think Niceguy3's 's advice about turning West rather than East to do a you-ey is good even though I often don't follow it. For K newbies, a problem turning West is that some of the streets seem to run even more at an angle to K which takes a while to learn.
I still turn East much more than I turn West, but he's right that by turning West at least you avoid streets like Jasper and Emerald which run parallel to K and are one way. So if you're trying to do a you-ey in the other direction you're usually talking about a multi-minute operation, and time means lost pussy. It's really bad trying to turn south in the stretch from Lehigh to where K and Front meet. I'm guessing this might have been the situation where you say you ended up having to go 1/2 mile to turn around. In that area, there are 3-4 consecutive streets running parallel to K that all run the same way. You have to go all the way up to Coral to turn south. In that section what I do if want to turn south is actually first turn north on Jasper and take one of the one-ways that get you back to K. Another thing I'd do is concentrate on memorizing the location of the streets that do run both ways coming East off K (Pike, Buckius - a handy little 2-way street that looks like a 1-way, Castor, Sedgely, M, Venango, Tioga, Ontario, Westmoreland are the ones running south from Erie/Torresdale to Allegheny. I'll often turn on one of these streets and look for a driveway or parking lot to spin around in. At the very least, knowing where these 2-ways are and the distance between them helps you decide your best route.
Below Allegheny down to Somerset I would generally take Niceguy's advice and turn West when you want to circle around. The two places on the stroll where you-eys are relatively straightforward are on Front to the south and on Frankford on the north end. On Front I almost always turn west (hmm, is it still west at that point or more south or southwest? - I need my compass or map), go one block up to Howard which is a one-way runnng parallel to Front and just circle around to the next street heading back to the Ave. For the most part the direction of the one-ways alternates in that area so it's a quick maneuver. Same thing on Frankford. The direction of the side street one-ways mostly alternate so a quick spin around the block is easy.
The stroll had quite the variety Saturday afternoon. Immediately upon hitting the loop, I saw several viable candidates. I made 3 attempts for a pickup with one girl, but 2 times she wasn't paying attention, and the other attempt seemed to be a sure thing. I saw her walking on a side street (parallel to the K), with a few empty spots just ahead of her. I thought, "great. This is a sure thing". Pulled into one of the spots just before she got there. She looked at me, but kept walking. I know she was working. HSW with blonde/brown long curly hair, just south of DD. It sadly was not meant to be.
I saw another option on Castor, and looped around for a pickup. She was gone by the time I got around. While taking a break to create my next plan, a BBW (pretty face with dark hair, but HUGE ass) approached me. I passed. Across the street, I spotted a civilian-looking beauty with squarish glasses and beautiful dark curly hair. She was soon headed in my direction from behind my parked car, and I thought, "great. This is going to be fun". Then. KABOOMM! Another monger in a nicer vehicle than mine pulls up behind me and gives her a ride. All as I watched in my mirrors. You lucky bastard.
Further down the stroll, I spotted a cute little spinner blonde. Immediately after that, I spotted a mid-weight short strawberry blonde. I was determined to do a pickup with one of these girls. That came to an end when the reddish-haired girl shouted to the blonde something to the effect of "hey. Hey. Yeah, you <name inaudible, as windows were closed .come here". In an irritated tone. Looked like someone was about to get her ass kicked by a fellow SW. I was unable to do a pickup as a result of this.
I came across another WSW near the flat tire place on Front. Well, first just off of Front on a side street. But didn't know she was SW until made another loop and got closer look. A little later, she was just hanging by pay phone with guy. I had to pass as a result. On first sighting, thought it was Shorty, but I don't think it was her.
The next day, late at night during the rain, I spotted little SW activity (but lots of LE). I attempted a pickup, but saw too many LE in the area.
On both my daytime & nighttime strolls, I spotted LE cruisers at the Farmer's Market lot a few blocks up from Girard, on Front. The daytime cruisers were parked in open area. The nighttime spotting was of a cruiser sitting a little behind the weeds, further back. He had his parking lights on. If they ever sit where the nighttime LE was sitting without lights, we may be in for unwanted excitement. My point. Be careful about cruising too many times past that spot.
I've seen no posts about Cookie (HSW found on southern end of Front). I've played with her several times, and have found her to be a decent date. Has anyone else had positive experiences with her?
Came across this video series about the K. Since there are so many references to the K in our reports here, and out-of-towners may not be familiar with its atmosphere (and in-towners may enjoy the portrait), here is a [url=http://undertheel.********.com/]link[/url] to it.
Mr. Moderator, I understand you normally don't condone external links, but this is definitely not a competitive site. It simply gives a flavor of a downtrodden neighborhood in our city, and thus provides a context for all of us to better appreciate the great reports here.

[QUOTE=Your Mother]Uh, would you two like to get a private room together?[/QUOTE]I think this was one member thanking another for some help out there with a sw. If you don't have a clue and can't contribute something then stfu!

The place sucks. Bunch of fags spanking and listening to each other. i had to leave after 5 min.
Now right down the street is a booth place. Franklin gets you a Nice HJ and clean up.
[QUOTE=Phila Dog]Has anyone been to the Forum recently? What's the story there?[/QUOTE]
A SW recently told me that some SWs have been assisting LE with busting mongers. Specifically, she said, "In addition to asking if a girl is a cop, you should ask her if she's assisting the police with stings". I asked if that's been an issue, and she said that it has been occurring.
This may or may not be true, as we know that SWs may not always be truthful. I'm airing on the side of caution, and being extra careful.

If so that's a new one to me. I've been around long enough to see all the clea-up operations on the ave. The original operation sunrise back in 87 all most worked. I actually remember a time when I gave up on the ave cause there just weren't any girls out anymore. But that was also the heyday of crackhouses, so just had to visit them for the girls. Actually more fun, more dangerous but alot cheaper. Anyone else from this board ever go to them??
Probably the 4th or 5th time I've seen her over the last 6 months. Have to put her in the top 5 for best looking girls on the ave. About 5'5, blonde streaked hair and a great bod and attitude to go with it. This is another one of those girls you wish you could be successful in removing from the ave.
Monday eve, about 6 or 6:30, picked up Cookie at K and Castor. About 5'3", with shortish, reddish hair, brown eyes (I think), slim. Couldn't go to the notel, as she said she had the rag on. Drove to her first spot: Target parking lot. Not for me, I hate parking lots, so we found another spot off of Richmond St. She said her standard donation is .3, and "I won't go lower than .25.", which is fine with me, since I only go .2 + tip. She got the job done quickly, but nicely, as she has no teeth, or at least she didn't that night. I had to hold her butt outside her jeans, as she had a sweater tied around her waist. Nice firm B-cups. Took her back to near Frankford and Tioga. Said she isn't out very much, but I'd look for her again. Anyone else had the pleasure?
This is my first on the K in many moons, I usually go to Broadway these days (and nights).

Smart move..not sure about Target but Home Depot has security cameras scanning the lot and security "WILL" come out and interupt you with your pants down.
Are there pictures of Star somewhere?
