Rachel and My "Alzheimers"
[QUOTE=Davey1965]Wow, Rachel is back on the ave. I saw her for a bit after she left and got cleaned up. Have spoke with her about twice over the last year but only briefly. I'm gonna have to start calling her again if she is coming back to the ave. Hope she was just coming for extra cash and still off of the dope. Hey Super. Did she show any signs of dope use? Rachel was never much of a rock star as dope was her forte.[/QUOTE]Davey, I was wondering why you hadn't seen my post about Rachel and then I realized that I had been interrupted in the midst of writing it and never submitted it, DUH! But I did mention my date with her in my update post for DukePV, which is where you read about it.
I hadn't known about her drug history, and my date with her was in the car for a BJ so I didn't exactly get a chance to be checking her arms for tracks, but her demeanor seemed to be pretty sane and normal. She gets a sold A- for the BJ and she is quite pretty also, so the entire experience was quite nice. I picked her up walking on Sedgly at dusk on a Friday. That's when and where she said she usually hangs out, but only Friday through Monday.
Right after the date she wanted me to drop her off at Tioga and I. I have dropped off at least one other SW on that corner, so I am assuming there is a drug house or dealer in the vicinity. What she is on, I have no idea.

Supereloquent - I admire, for the most part, your heavy activity and reporting. However, not to be overly critical, but you've already disclosed the name and location of an individual who provides short-term accommodations to mongers and their finds, and now identifying a corner where a high degree of activity occurs and where a lot of local SW's frequent.
This level of specificity isn't always smart, since although LE is pretty hip to most active corners, they have also been known to monitor this board and step up their activity based on info provided in it. This, in turn, leads to a greater likelihood that our favorite SWers will be pinched in a raid and disappear off the Ave for accommodations on State Road.
A little careful thought as to the level of specificity of info in your reports might be a good thing - one guy named Dennis is already feeling the heat your reports have generated. Just a suggestion - helpful info is cool, inadvertently ruining people's lives isn't.
Throwing Stones from a Glass House?
[QUOTE=Curiousjoe]I agree whole heartedly. It's the reason I seldom post here and mostly lurk.
Things are quite different in my neck of the woods than they are on the K, and you wont see me on the K unless I have a good reason to be there other than mongering.
I spent alot of time up there in the 80's and got busted once but LE let me slide. It was different back then.[/QUOTE]Also from CookyJar (partial from his long post): "You don’t seem remorseful. You owe him an Apology.
Believe me; I am not trying to be rude. I do want you to realize that what you did was a no, no. And worst, it wasn’t necessary. The street is not that big. At least the section near the “K,” isn’t. Certainly his neighbors and family can make the connection. Putting together two and two isn’t that hard."
Firstly, CuriousJoe: You say you seldom post here and mostly "lurk"; in other words you you are not too much on sharing information but prefer to leech off the information provided by others and not too shy to throw a big verbal rock even though you ADMIT that you haven't spent much time on the K since the 80s! So what wakes up your ire NOW? I bet you were one of the guys that piled on when playing football.
I apologized about this already but apparently you and CookyJar think it wasn't enough and can't let it go at that so let's air it out.
The big fuss is about a guy who provides an indoor place, but SWs are fair game? What kind of hypocrisy is that? The issues are specifics like names and streets so why don't we apply the same rules to SWs for THEIR protection?: no mention of names (including SWs, who sometimes use their real names although aliases are no less real). While we are at it let's not mention streets or street corners or places like bars and restaurants and stores. And what could be more SPECIFIC than photos? All of these very specific things are MUCH more damning than my vague reference.
If I owe the person in question an apology, CookyJar, then you owe every SW an apology you ever photographed whether they gave permission or not. You say that they agreed to be photographed (AND prominently posted on line?; I have met very few SWs who owned a computer or had much of a concept of this or any other website for that matter). You took advantage of their distress and ignorance no matter how you look at it and I highly doubt most of them realized the full implications their "specific" notoriety might bring them, not the least of which could be LE notoriety. Also, are their families and neighbors any less important? Or don't the desperately drug addicted count?
Yes, it was not good form to post a name and a street and apparently I hit a nerve with some mongers on this one. And I stated my apology already. But others should know better regarding what people in glass houses should not do.
