What would you guy suggest in the way of a nice hotel to stay in. I'm looking for something not to far from the action, but not in a place where I have to be afraid. Going to be in town for three nights. Any info would be helpful.
And once I'm settled in maybe Super E could let on of those stars loose to come show me a good time

If you are staying for three nights I recommend staying at one of the hotels near the airport. If you want a bargain you can try the Motel 6 at 55/night for the AAA rate. From there you can get a hotel all the way up the scale to the best you can imagine.
The airport area hotels are 20-30 minutes from the K non-rush, and it is all expressway once you get to I-95.
I would be pleased to arrange a few Ave "stars" to be available for you. You may have the finest crawfish, gumbo, Cajun catfish and jambalaya in New Orleans, but we have some of the finest SW talent right here in Philly, not to mention the finest original cheese steaks and Italian hoagies. :D
Could someone please PM me some info on the K.
I will be in Philly Mid OCT and am looking for some action.

A guide service to the fun zone known as the K?
Hmmm, wasn't there some speculation on this theme previously? Oh, yeah. THAT was a school.
Next thing we know you'll have the Philly version of this business going.

Sounds good to me. I would love that Super E could run it.

I was in the "City of Brotherly Love" for some family business last month.
I tried a self guided tour and believe me, I could have used a little help. I went into neighborhoods
that made me keep the doors locked and look stright ahead. Your new "business" would be a
"Public Service". Sign me up!
Next time you're in town, maybe give Camden a try. Usually works out well and it's pretty close to K.

However, the K can look very daunting to someone more used to seeing green lawns and 2-car garages in the burbs.
There is a thriving underground drug trade all around the Ave. This is the main reason SWs are there in the first place. With drug business around, in a generally run-down and declining area of the city, you have to expect your share of strange and dangerous characters roaming the streets. However, it isn't all bad by a long shot. There are a number of retail outlets, particularly bunched together in the few blocks north and south of the intersection of Allegheny and Kensington. On a typical day there are many shoppers in this vicinity, and the SWs tend to operate outside of this more commercial zone. Retail stores pepper the stroll even outside of the vicinity of Allegheny and Kensington. There are also eateries, car dealerships, and even a fire station, several parks, several schools and a church along or near the stroll. Together with these are a fair share of aged and deteriorating and / or boarded up buildings, and vacant lots.
I have seen better urban neighborhoods, but I have seen a lot worse as well. It isn't quite the war zone that Broadway in Camden appears to be, although I am comfortable on that stroll as well, during the day in particular. The biggest danger in Camden IMHO is that LE has a hard on for mongers, and you have to be a LOT more careful than in Philly, where a white suburban-looking monger tends to blend in more. I am not trying to be racist, but rather stating a fact: if you see a Caucasian male driving on Broadway in Camden, most especially with PA plates, then he is very likely to be a monger; if you see a Caucasian girl on Broadway she is even more likely to be a SW. It has to make Camden LE's job a lot easier in spotting their targets.
I find that during the day I feel quite safe along the K or Broadway. However, potential dangers always lurk in a seedy urban neighborhood and it pays to keep alert and not be lulled into a false sense of security.
I am surmising about the reasoning behind the latest new format of this website, but here is my two cents worth:
1. I like the new format. It is crisper and cleaner with softer hues. It is easier to read and easier on the eyes.
2. I don't think too many serious mongers will miss the photo gallery. It was mostly for guys to ogle pics anyway IMHO than to use to find women for sex, which is the stated purpose of this Forum. It also had to be a bear and costly to maintain, and probably chewed up a lot of memory. Besides, the vast majority of the pics posted in the photo gallery were becoming advertisements by commercial providers, joke postings, posts from the internet, etc. Very, very few were of "real" and available women. Mongers in particular know where to find pics of real SWs in their area. If they are visiting another city, it is also fairly easy to do some research there as well. What does a guy in CA care about what a SW looks like in Philly and vice versa if he is never going to visit here? Oglers still know where to find real SW pics if they want to ogle. There are just a handful of contributors on this website, myself included, who predominate that genre.
2. Having thumbnail previews in a report was handy, but it just takes a few clicks to see if a set of attached SW pics appeals for whatever reason and is worth looking at more of them. The thumbnail feature must also have been expensive to include and probably chewed up a lot of memory and slowed down the response time of the website. Not having the thumbnails will make it more incumbent upon the pic contributor to more descriptively label the pics, as I have already started to do anyway. The new format allows you to view all the pics in a thread alphabetically, so I will have to keep that in mind when labeling my pics and place the SW's name first.
3. Not having a photo gallery or thumbnails in a report should most certainly reduce the complaints from those who thought my posting numerous pics was cluttering the photo gallery or were too many to be bothered looking at in my thread. Now you only have yourself to blame if you want to be opening up the pic attachments, LOL.
4. If one contributes a lot of reports and pics, as I do, then having an index to them in the absence of a photo gallery makes all the sense in the world. So, I am very happy that I have already done that both for my Philly and South Jersey reports and pic postings. I plan to keep this index current by updating it periodically, most certainly at least once a year, and maybe semi-annually and / or quarterly depending upon how many new pics and SWs I have added.
5. Taking the spotlight off of pics makes the impact of the writing all that more important. I never had a problem expressing myself "eloquently" in this manner. :D
If we get the photo gallery and thumbnails in reports back, terrific. But, I can live with it either way. I see no side-bar advertising yet here in the new format as there used to be, and it may be likely that the overall pictorial graphic format is still being revised and updated, including that for advertisements, the photo gallery and thumbnails. We shall see.

Double Decker Buses? Then you'd have the Japanese tourists who want to stop every 10 feet to have thier picture taken!
But buses seem a bit conspicuous. Hmmm, what is the standard "fare" for a ticket for engaging in Mongering Behavior? Maybe your business could work out a deal with the cash strapped City to pay that "fare" up front for each of your customers, and then the boyz in blue would leave your operation alone? Sounds like a win-win deal? City gets the much needed money, customers reduce risk.
Well, instead. Perhaps you should just concentrate on the "photo-illustrated guide book. " Bet you could sell a few of those. A version that fits on a Blackberry would be a winner. Suburban mongers could pick up a girl. Have her give her special SE I'd Code and the monger could get a full menu of available services, rates and limits. Uh oh. Now that I think of it. You'd be in competition with this site. NEVER MIND!
I would suggest the Stadium Holiday Inn on Packer Avenue. Be sure to ask for the Bill Clinton Suite. I shit you not! [ATTACH=CONFIG]112048[/ATTACH]

Thanks everyone for the advice on hotels. It's really Going to be a big help when I book it in the coming days. But as the time starts to grow near I'm going to have to be filled in on newest ones out there and those old favorites of you all. Hopfully I can find one for a overnight stay too. But thanks to everyone for the help.
