The Best City in the Nation
[QUOTE=GettingTang]Been over here for about 5 weeks now on business. I've been trying out a few CL providers with various results. My worst experience was a provider at the Best Western, followed by the all-too common knock at the door from the pimp / boyfriend. My best was a total GFE, with a few inbetween.
I wanted to try out Lynn in Garner, but she answered the phone rather rudely and stated she would not take new clients. Must be due to the bust we read about?
So about a week ago, I thought I would try out some of the tracks as you all call them. Got my GPS out and mapped in all the known areas from the reports found here. Long story short.......I was in fear for my life. It is a damn war zone down many of those thin streets. Are you all insane? Why don't the girls get out of those housing blocks and walk newbern, or another more open street area? I turned down one street and had some whacked out brother charging my car while another stood in the street with his hand in his pants, clinching a gun I'm sure.
Despite this, I lapped around the routes several times and did see some apparent strung out, hardened crack hoes. I never stopped. One was wearing a dress and her body seemed OK, but her face was a bit rough. I passed. Most of the girls were found in the E. Jones and Idlewild (i know now the street, sorry) I cruised during the daylight and could not imagine driving down those streets at night.
I have a question I hope does not offend anyone, but are most you fellow mongers brothers? Cause a white guy does not fair well down in those streets. I got hard looks, threats and felt like I stuck out like a red sore thumb. I won't be going back.
Another question........Anywhere else to cruise? How about Capital? This can't possible be the only area, is it? This is a big city, with lots of sprawl. Every city has street walkers and usually lots of them. I've never been in such a closed in neighborhood to monger like that and I've been playing this game for 20 years! I did not care for it at all.
Anyone who can share a nice, or semi-decent area to cruise? I'll trade the few nice CL contacts I've made since being here. There are some good ones, most are ripp-offs, so let us share.[/QUOTE]
My opinion of a couple of the questions on here.
GettingTang made an observation about the city the size of Raleigh having such a limited supply of quality SW... well actually a limited supply of SW period. This is frustrating for a city that has just passed Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Tampa, and Minneapolis in terms of population, city proper. Its the standard of living in Raleigh. We have seen all the lists, Best Place to Live, Best Place to Start a Business, One of the 10 Fastest Growing Cities in the US, Highest Number of College Graduates, and the most telling of them all, Best Place to Raise a Family. I have been to cities half the size of Raleigh with triple the amount of supply and half the demand. But they are poor cities, with low paying jobs and a lack of them. Times are hard in those areas and there is not just the addicts on the street, but the girl next door just trying to make ends meet. There are more girls and better quality. In Raleigh, there is some crappy waiter or hotel room cleaner job that they can fall back on.
Just take a look at the prices of the girls on CL. They adjust their price point depending on the city they are in. I have seen some of the same girls charge $2.50 in Raleigh, go to Richmond and charge $2.00, and then end up in Phoenix charging $1.75 for the same hour worth of service. There is more disposable income and less girls that are so desperate that they have to hit the street.
Another factor limiting the quality of SW in Raleigh is that the worn out street hags out there will run off any girl that starts working that looks better than they do. How many times have you seen a 7 or 8 on the SW scale with a black eye, or a tale about how the BSW jumped a WSW and told her to stay out the neighborhood. The only way they make it is to get a pimp or dealer looking out for them and we know where that heads. Two months later they look like they have been run over by the Amtrak!
As far as the fellas in the streets, it burns me up beyond no compare! Then I realized how easy they are to suspect that you are UC, until they see you a couple of times and figure what you are out there for. But most aren't smart enough to remember that far back. I began to take a line from Dr. Dre "Witness us as we creep to a slow speed..." This is not south central so when you drive through at an unusually slow speed, they know you aren't a gang banger, so that only leaves one other possibility, they think you are under cover. Try it for yourself next time and see how fast they decide to move. Of course it can backfire and the SW will take a wide berth around your car.
Just for the record though, if I ever do hit one of those fools, I am leaving the scene. Damn them! And if I get caught, I will swear he was drugged up and just jumped out in the middle of the road. I will take the chance of my attorney against one of Wake County's incompetent prosecutors any day. Can't even convict a drunken driver who shows up to court drunk!
Finally, which Kim was this? I hope it wasn't the one I met a few weeks ago. Hopefully it was Kimpossible, or Kim with the short dark hair. Sorry any of them might have been killed, but I'm not going to feign any emotional attachment to any of these girls. But I would hate it to be Kim with the long blond hair and tight little body. That's why I hate Raleigh's selection of SW. Can't keep anything good out!
