Slim Pickings on Broadway
Went out from about 5 pm until 12 am (hit Philly in between). Saw maybe a handful of girls, some of them looked like they were new the others were beat up worn girls (most likely drug users).
Usually Summertime in Camden is popping, but it seemed not as active as before.
Not a cop in sight either which was suspicious to me.
The SW seemed to all be by Morgan Blvd.
Around 10 PM there were 3 LEOs talking to a woman at the light on Morgan, she was obviously a SW.
If the rumors are true they are cracking down, but I don't expect it to last or to make a dent. Give it some time and business will pick up again.
Meanwhile be careful, do a couple laps before you pick anyone up make sure nothing is out of place. As far as when they're in the car I'd be concern at this point that LEO is using known girls as bait, maybe take a few minutes before you start negotiating a price feel them out.
To me it's funny that CCPD goes after SW when the biggest problem is drug dealers, guns and blight. Arresting two consenting adults isn't going to clean Camden up but that's a post for another time and place.
Be safe.
HolTec Robbery and the CCPD Crackdown
Spoke to a SW last night who wanted $40 for a BJ so I passed but took the time to get the ear of the streets:
Apparently a few months ago a SW jumped into a Limo in front of HolTec (on Broadway and Morgan) and robbed the occupant only problem he was the owner of HolTec, he called the Mayor and the Chief Police and made a big stink, they've been cracking down ever since.
She went on to say that Gloucester City PD patrols unmarked in Camden too in order to help CCPD out. However she said they are more concerned with drugs, in fact some of CCPD and GCPD guys hook up with the SW too. (Don't know how true that is but wouldn't surprise me.).
Saw CCPD out in force Saturday and Monday, they were no where to be found Sunday.
A lot of the girls are hurting for dates and at the same time paranoid to do any because of the crackdown.
Things are calming down though.
