Thank you for the heat map!
By looking at this map I can finally plot out my SW stroll. Granted, this may not make sense since these are where to arrests are but this is also an indication of where the SW are too obviously. I'm pretty picky and am not going to pick up a SW and risk getting arrested unless I find a rare gem, most of the time I just enjoy crusing around and looking at the goods. I'm pretty bad with directions but know my way around the city by simply knowing where I am in proximity to the lake, anyhow, after looking at this heat map and avoiding certain areas (west side and far south) due to danger issues I've finally got a plan of action.
I'll start by taking LSD north to lawrence and head west, since I have yet to ever see anything on lawrence, this heat map shows hardly any arrests on lawrence but I keep hearing of stories on this forum so out of curiosity I'll go there first,
1) Lawrence from LSD west all the way to cicero.
2) Cicero south (keep an eye on cicero and belmont / diversity / fullerton)
3) Cicero to north ave, take north ave east a bit towards bucktown then turn back west then continue to take cicero south.
4) Cicero south to madison.
5) Madison east to western.
6) Turn around, Madiswest to Pulaski.
7) Pulaski south.
8) Pulaski south to 47th. 47th between cicero / western.
How does that fare for a SW stroll? Some of the westside are avoided as well as the far south (south michigan ave and 110th, etc is SCARY) but I doubt I'd be missing much considering what I've seen.

[QUOTE=Panderus; 1501432]That Was Quick.
Was back home in the Chicago area recently from out the West Coast.
I flew into Midway, arriving in the early afternoon. Pick up the rental car and head south on Cicero Avenue. I stop at the (soon to be relocated) Walgreens.
Just as I am getting back to my car, a blonde woman in a denim mini skirt is walking by. I give her a smile and she smiles back. Asks me what I am doing, etc. Etc.
I ask if she needs a ride. She responds she's trying to make some money. Is that so? The woman said she'll walk a bit down the sidestreet.
As I am pulling out of the parking lot she is half way down the block, talking through the passenger side of a car that looks like a Crown Vic. I head back onto Cicero and head south.
I wasn't ready to do anything as I had just spend four hours on a plane, but, boy, that was quick.
Didn't get to many of the hooker strolls during my visit. I've been spooked away from driving too much late at night after getting pulled over during a visit about six months ago.

Can learn something new every day. Have always been aware of 47th & Cicero but usually turned around on 49th. I now see there is action all the way up to Archer.
