Welcome and thanks for your contribution
Wishing you continued success and looking forward to future reports. I used to think Broadway was a SW Gold mine but it has gone thru the good and bad cycles over the years so its hard for me to judge if it is really on the way up again or did I just have a good week or two. No matter, it is not going downhill, that much I know.
Not to appear argumentative, but it's almost impossible to compare K Ave to Broadway, apples to oranges. Both have SW's to be sure but K Avenue is an open air drug market and by its very location, it seems to drawf Broadway in sheer numbers, both the drug users and their girlfriends who all seem to make money playing the skin flute. Too many times a K Avenue walker looks enticing but is not working at that moment whereas on Broadway, if they are out, they are working. K Avenue takes some time to learn the nooks and crannies but once you figure it out, it provides its own special gems. But if you are as new as you seem to say you are, stick with what you feel comfortable with. This is not a hobby for the faint of heart, you are taking a chance every time you venture out so if you can find a comfort zone, then ride that for awhile, its not like K Avenue is going anywhere anytime soon.
[QUOTE=Allin2481;5072904]I've noticed posts lately regarding recent success on Broadway. Since mid-August Broadway has been great to me. From Aug. To my most recent mongering session last Tuesday, I've probably hit the stroll around 10 x and I've scored every single time.
But with the streak I've had I plan on mongering until at least the end of the Nov. As long as there are a few more 50/60 degree days. If you haven't made the plunge already get out there. The SWs are definitely out. And you'll come across some gems for sure.
Side note: During the same time span (mid Aug to Present) I've also hit Kensington in Philly. I've had way more success and just an overall good time with the SWs on Broadway.[/QUOTE]
Broadway is dead or dying
Not sure which. Full disclosure, I had a business dinner across the river in Philadelphia at 7:30 PM and since I was leaving from South Jersey, I decided to do a little experiment. I first drove the length of Broadway twice on my way to the BF Bridge. I only saw two possibilities, one was a decent looking blonde near Kaigth (sp?) but she was engaged in a conversation with two men and she wouldn't break away despite eye contact. The other was decent down toward Walnut but had on dirty jeans which in my box means her hygiene is also questionable. Still, for 6:15 on a Tuesday night, I consider that a dead stroll in terms of options.
To complete the other half of my informal experiment, I drove across the bridge to see what the K Ave shopping district had to offer. Immediately, in the area of Huntington Station and Jasper, I saw 4 options on 4 consecutive corners. Then a dozen or more on my way down Avenue toward Bukias. Granted, a small sample size of two loops on each stroll on a singe weekday night but if I had to bust a nut or die, I would take my mongering donation to K Avenue, as least I could pick from a bigger pool of choices.
Stay safe fellow mongers, I am seriously thinking of taking a hiatus from the hobby in the middle of this raging pandemic. I haven’t let it affect my mongering hobby till this point but considering the numbers, I might not risk it. I say that now, let's see how I feel in a week or so as my protein deposit starts to build.
Time to stay away from bway
In my last few drives down the bway stroll, I've noticed that the late night options don't even really get going until 1 or 2 am, but even then, they are much fewer than a year ago.
I finally snagged a petite WSW named Mia on the northern end, who had just started her night at around 2 am, and she says she rarely walks these days. She then told me the dreaded news no one wants to here. She tells me that recently, possibly due to one patient zero monger who bounced from girl to girl in a short period of time, several (at least seven?) girls from the area have tested HIV positive. Luckily, I've dreamt so rarely from there in the past few months, but, having on occasion played with bb fire, I think I'm finally be convinced that it's just not worth neglecting to wrap it, though I get tested every couple months. These days, we keep thinking about super spreader events in relation to covid, but we can't forget the other pandemics of recent past. I know my 2021 new year's resolution!
Be safe, and best to all in the new year!
Something I've never seen
I have been part of this hobby for 20 plus years now. Tonight I had something happen to me in camden that I've never experienced before. Feeling a little bored I decided to take a drive and see how things were going on the way. I got there around 9 pm and made 6 trips from end to end. Not one girl was out! Not even the ones usually so messed up they are slumped over in a corner were out. I couldn't even pick up the ones that I would never pick up! Nothing. In 6 trips I saw only one girl all masked up with her boyfriend walking quickly and clearly not interested in what I had to offer.
This has never happened to me before. There's always at least 1. Maybe you wouldn't dare pick her up but she is always there. So that's how 2020 is going to end for me. I'm going to choose to see some positive in it. Hopefully all the girls are nice and warm, inside with their $600 government checks and they are happy. It's nice that they don't have to be out working. Of course I know that's probably not true but a man can dream sometimes. Happy new year everybody.
Dead or dying. Broadway in Camden
Last night (cold, but no wind or rain) I took a tour the length of Broadway twice around 7 pm and to my shock, not a single choice. Usually there would be a zombie or two, something really run down but still out there on the street corner. Not sure if its Covid, the beginning of the month of the government checks arriving in everybody's mail box but I have never been completely shut out on Broadway and its been twenty plus years.
It wasn't a total waste, a quick call to a reliable stand by and she was soon playing hide the salami but I would hate to think Broadway is closed for business. Tell me it ain't so.
Every once in awhile, you can strike gold
Broadway is a shell of what it used to be, that's for sure, but with some patience and some tenacity, I managed to snag Melody (more on the name later on) down on the far end by Ferry.
It's a roll of the dice in the winter time; between the heavy coat, hats, scarves wrapped around their face, you could end up with a 2 or 10 and you wouldn't be able to make that assessment until she is already in the car. But Melody was a bit street worn but not a disaster and frankly, there weren't too many other choices.
The SW gods were smiling on me though as Melody's performance ranks up there in my top 10. She sucks a mean dick, attempting to deep throat the best she could and made all the kids disappear at the end. It was a spectacular performance and makes you wish that every encounter would be at that level.
On the way back to dropping her off, I got an earful. She "claims" to be a laid off music teacher (geez, I wonder how she picked her street name?) and doesn't hit the streets too often (if only I had a nickel for every time I heard that) because it is far too dangerous. She says she's only been on the streets of Camden for 3 years and agrees that the number of providers seen out are at an all time low. All in all, she is a pleasant person although I suspect that she hasn't been invited to a Mensa meeting lately. I hope my fellow mongers strike gold I just did, that BJ was truly one for the ages
B-Way is dead as a door nail.
I took a ride down BW around 7 PM Saturday night and didn't see a single SW. Coming back from my overnight stay in Buck's county I rode through again around 9 AM Sunday and also didn't see anyone out. I ride through there just about every weekend around these times and this has been the norm for several weeks now.
I'm not really sure what's up, but I've also noticed that I don't see anywhere near as many cops as I used too.
