Mid Year Blade travel report
Gents,
I've been all over the west coast lately, thought I'd give a blade report for those that may be traveling.
LA. Fig. Hot girls all over but it's extremely hectic with LE and aggressive management. SW's pack corners in groups of at least 10 making traffic horrible. Although there is a lot of talent out there, peak hours are no longer good for me. I usually hunt Fig in the late afternoon / evening before 8 pm and very early morning, between 5 am and 8 am. Have not been able to hit Western Ave lately. Terrible thing about Fig is that there is no decent hotel in the area, closest one would the the USC hotel but you definitely don't want to bring a SW there. Other than that, there's nothing but the nasty, dangerous motels in the area. Like Vegas, this is one of the few areas where you can find something in the daytime.
Pomona. Holt Ave Not very busy but you can find a winner or two out there. Actually bumped into one of my ATF's last time I was there. After seeing her, dropped her off at about 9 PM, things picked up.
San Bernardino. G Street Strangest blade ever, it's a poorly lit residential street with homes, churches and schools. Don't understand this one but that's where the action is. Decent amount of girls out when I have visited but the poor lighting makes it hard to spot them. One plus is that there are real hotels within a ten minute drive.
PHX - 27th Ave. Great action, can be crowded but nothing like LA or Oakland. SW's usually do a good job of spreading out and walking, I've found some gems there. Location is great, minutes from great hotels, restaurants, downtown and the freeway. Probably my favorite place. I always score there. However LE is different there so you must be careful, check the PHX forum before you partake. Early morning can be good to but usually nothing in the daytime until about 4 pm in the winter when it's not 100 degrees. Usually nothing at all in the summer during the day.
Fresno. Belmont Ave. Night only, not great but I've found a few nice ones, took a long time but they were all great. Last visit LE was super aggressive, was about to bail when I found a really cool one. Decent hotels are about 10-15 minutes away on the freeway.
Oakland. International Bl. This place is hell on earth! Extremely dangerous, not necessarily by violence, more so by the fact that traffic laws are completely ignored in Oaktown. Running red lights, speeding, making left turns from the far right lane and vice versa. Management is extremely present and aggressive, LE seems to not want to do much. Recently they installed traffic diverters to keep traffic off of the side street where most of the action used to be, eliminated SW's there. Of course they all simply moved down the street. Always has been great talent there but it's not worth it for me. Last time I was there I almost got hit 5 times in a 2 hour time frame. And the streets are in horrible condition, potholes and uneven pavement all over the city but it's really bad on INT. Used to be one of my favorite places, now I don't even bother unless I find something in the daytime.
Sacramento. Stockton Bl. Just recently visited for the first time, SW's here were absolutely the most friendly. No matter where I have been, at least 50% of the SW's ignore me because I'm an AA man, 90% for the hot ones. Not the case here, every SW was extremely friendly and willing, even the hot ones!! Did not have time to partake but I will definitely be back. Decent location, nice hotels within 10 minutes. Daytime is dead until about 6 pm. LE somewhat aggressive and I've been told they are like PHX LE so be careful.
