Streetwalker Reports

[Davey1965]

Hi mongers,

I will be visiting your city in a few days time. Could someone point me towards the better area to get a hotel in, the cheaper deals I've seen are in Gloucester, Cherry Hill and Runnemead all in NJ side, are they close enough to the action on K ave, or Camden? In Philly the only hotels within my budget are in the Airport area (Lester) and Stadium area, are those close enough to the action.

Also could someone PM me the address or details to the short time stay places (Carlyle) or others where I can take a SW for a short time? Information is most appreciated, I'll be sure to post about my experiences.

The only problem with the airport hotels is traffic. Even though the distance is close (about 10 minute drive) in traffic it can be torture to get to. And having a SW'er in the car in a traffic jam can be a nightmare. As far as NJ, I'd stick with Cherry Hill vs Glouster or Runnedmead unless your plannning on mongering in Camden. Holiday Inn, Cherry Hill is about 20 minutes most times of the day.

I saw this article and thought it was interesting for you guys up there, especially about the part of "walking dates" I had never heard of.

Thanks for posting that. Actually not often you see a report that is more or less pretty dead on. I guess being from the area, I find it not as scary as the report says. But I can see how others can. One point that was covered in which you rarely see mentioned is the corruption of the Phila PD. The PD and our court system has kept our mongering haven in tact for many years. We'll have to see what happens after they catch the strangler. Will all slowly return to normal or never again be the same?

I saw this article and thought it was interesting for you guys up there, especially about the part of "walking dates" I had never heard of.

On a nightmarish street infested with heroin, rape, and violent crime, prostitutes keep showing up dead. Jeff Deeney visits the city's notorious neighborhood and finds hell on earth.

The rusting, blue steel frame of the El, the elevated portion of Philadelphia's subway, looms over dilapidated Kensington Avenue like a giant centipede's decaying exoskeleton. Known as "the stroll," Kensington Avenue is the hub of Philly's street prostitution scene, where young, drug-addicted women turn tricks for dope money—and where lately, a serial killer stalks them in the sickly orange glow of the streetlamps under the El.

Elaine Goldberg was only 21, a nursing student at a local university who seemed to have a lot going for her, except for a dope habit she couldn't kick. She was found half-naked and strangled to death in a vacant lot not far from the stroll on November 3. A Facebook page went up in the wake of the popular young woman's death. Her life was full of family and friends who were pulling for her to get clean; the memorial page has attracted more than 1, 500 followers and a flood of support and condolences from well-wishers.

Thirty-five-year-old Nicole Piacentini, on the other hand, was an Avenue veteran with a history of drug and prostitution charges. Her death, discovered November 13, didn't make the cut for a Facebook fan page. Her mother was quoted in the paper saying her worst nightmare was her daughter dying like this, alone on the streets and strung out on drugs.

And thanks to a third, unnamed woman who narrowly escaped the Kensington Strangler and came forward on Monday, police now have a sketch of the suspect: a young, light-skinned black or Latino man with a neatly trimmed goatee and close-cropped hair.

The Kensington Avenue stroll forms the eastern boundary of North Philadelphia's notorious Badlands, the nexus of the city's heroin scene for decades. The stroll is set off far enough from the dope corners that the girls don't usually get caught up in the gun violence that routinely erupts over territory—but close enough that they can walk over and cop a bag when they need one. The drugs and the sex are inseparably intertwined here; it's rare to encounter a girl who's not tricking to get her day's dope money up.

The two murdered women are alleged by the prostitutes on the stroll who knew them to have met the same fate in similar ways, by having gone on what the girls call "walking dates." In such a transaction, a John approaches on foot instead of in a car and asks the girl to walk with him to a nearby lot to set a price and have sex. The expansive lot where Elaine Goldberg was strangled is comprised of waist-high weeds with a path cut through them. Following the path into the weeds from the sidewalk feels like disappearing into a Dantean wilderness of addiction-driven depravity. The path is strewn with discarded women's clothes, a toilet turned on its side, and ultimately, a clearing where the muddy ground is coated with empty 1CC syringe wrappers, dirty needles, empty dope bags, used condoms, and a filthy mattress in the dirt where the women turn tricks.

'If you got a drug habit, you got to support it one way or another, ' she said. 'I'm scared out here, sure. I got raped two weeks ago. '

The nearby lot where Nicole Piacentini was strangled is smaller but similarly nightmarish. Set across from a warehouse loading dock, yellow crime tape was still tangled in the weeds where a second path opened immediately into yet another clearing strewn with drug detritus. As I approached the scene, a police officer who was sitting in a cruiser still parked by the crime scene rolled down his window.

"There's a lot of human shit back there so watch where you step," he deadpanned."It ain't mud."

Back on the Avenue a woman named Cat was sitting huddled in a doorway, trying to keep out of the rain. She said she's 30 but looks easily 15 years older. While she looked rough, she was soft-spoken and kind and freely shared the details of her life under the El. She said she was born and raised here in Kensington, started shooting dope when she was 20, added coke to her daily drug regimen four years ago, and has been working the stroll on an off ever since to keep her habit up.

"If you got a drug habit, you got to support it one way or another," she said."I'm scared out here, sure. I got raped two weeks ago. A couple days ago, a John tried to grab my money and punched me in the nose before I could jump out of the car. That shit happens to all of us but it doesn't make us want to get off the street, though. It's crazy, I know."

The more women you talk to out here, the more you come to understand how pervasive sexual violence is on the stroll. It's a fact well-known to social workers who encounter the women in drug-treatment settings, the criminal-justice system, and the prisons. In this population, extensive sexual trauma histories are basically universal.

Cat says she used to get high with Nicole Piacentini before she was murdered. She says she was a good, protective friend; she was part of a sort of sisterhood that many of the women here mention when they talk about life under the El.

"I would look out for her and she would look out for me. We do that out here, we watch out for our own. If we go on a bad date, we walk up and down the Avenue to let other girls know about it. We take a John's license plate when a girl goes on a date in case she don't come back, that sorta thing. She was a nice person."

While she was a nice person, Cat admits that Piacentini had a crippling drug habit she couldn't shake.

"She would stay up for days shooting coke, and then she would get all schitzy, you know. She thought the cops were always about to break the door down, shit like that."

Cat warned of the danger of the "walking date" that all the women working the stroll say sealed the fate of both Piacentini and Goldberg.

"I don't like to do dates with guys who are walking, it's more dangerous. They want you to go down an alleyway, or off somewhere nobody can see you. If I'm in a car, I can always jump out. I can tell a guy to park somewhere I know somebody's going to hear me if I scream, where there's doors I can bang on to get someone to call police if I need to."

Another woman who works the stroll named Jamie echoes the need for this safety precaution.

"I went with a guy who was walking one time and once we were off the street he hit me in back of the head, knocked me down and raped me," she says with a shudder.

A young prostitute named Patty says her parents went to the coroner's office to identify the body because they saw the news about young Elaine Goldberg and thought it was her.

"They called the police district and gave them a description of me. The police thought it was so similar they told her to go down the coroner's office and looked at the body. When they showed the body to my parents, it was covered with a sheet but her hair was sticking out from under it. We have the same color hair, same length of hair, so they assumed it was me. My mom had a nervous breakdown on the spot."

Patty says she and a lot of the women on the stroll are letting the shock of the incidents motivate them to get off the streets. Prostitutes are fleeing to detoxes and sober houses to lay low and try to get clean before they get killed.

"I'm going to Kirkbride (detox) on Thursday, man, I'm scared. I'm scared for all my girlfriends out here who are hooked on dope and living in abandoned houses with no protection. I never been to detox before, this is my first time and I want to get this under control before it gets uncontrollable. My number could come up next."

All of the women I spoke to said that the Philadelphia Police Department bears some responsibility for ignoring episodes of physical and sexual violence against prostitutes so routine they are committed almost casually by the Johns who frequent the stroll. Johns, they say, don't fear repercussions for raping a street walker because they know the cops don't do anything about it.

Patty told me,"I been raped out here so many times and every time I told the cops that I was tricking at the time I was raped they told me to just keep walking. They wouldn't even make a report. And the Vice Squad cops are scumbags, man, they'll put you in the squad car and make you suck their dick or they'll arrest you."

These sentiments were mirrored by all of the prostitutes I surveyed. There is unanimous agreement among the women working the stroll that the police feel that sexual violence is simply an occupational hazard that women who choose this way of life should cope with on their own. That a serial killer would view the stroll as fertile territory for finding easy kills among disposable women, to them, only seems a logical outcome of the long standing unwritten police policies that condone the violence against them.

The police department denies that they actively ignore reported incidents of violence against prostitutes, stating that the incidents don't get reported, because the women are afraid to come forward for fear of catching drug and other criminal charges themselves.

"I come down here to get beat up and raped over what," Patty asks rhetorically."All that for a little blue bag [of heroin]. I can't take even one step out of Kensington anymore. This El," she says, pointing at the train tracks rusting away above her head,"It sucks you in and don't let you go."

You may want to order take-out or fish other areas. The K is hot right now, police are grabbing up the mongers and having them submit DNA swabs. I think I read over 200 persons picked up since November, all in an effort to find the Kensington strangler.

I've visited the stroll quite often, for now I don't even drive thru, if it looks too good it probably is.

Be Safe

I have mentioned this before in this thread and I stand by it still: go to the "name your own price" function on Priceline. Com under hotels. Start by bidding $45 for a 3-star hotel and, if you're turned down, raise your bid by $5 increments, each time tweeking your "region" between the airport (which includes the stadium Holiday Inn), City Line, and University City. I ALWAYS end up at an airport hotel, between 10 and 15 mins down I95 from the Allegheny exit. I prefer not to request the downtown area as parking will trump any savings. Unless, of course, you want to take the chance of finding street parking in Ctr City and then have to feed a meter every 1-2 hrs. There's also a Bensalem / Trevose option under regions, but I've never tried that. Also never tried the Jersey options, but they might work just fine for a Camden pick-up.

Its been a while since my trip to philly and I've been very busy out of the US but here I go.

I got Jody (not her real name I think Super E gave it to her) contact info from another monger on the board and dropped her a email. My first impression was that I would never hear back from that email but in a matter of hours she returned my email and said she would be more than happy to meet up while I was in your state. We chat once or twice before I got there afterwards. I had a hotel room in the city center which was a really nice room if I must say but she works for a living and just does this as she says just to make ends meet but was very cool about it. She isn't one of these drug junkie that is feeding a drug habit but a sweet girl that could use some extra money now and then.

When I first saw her I was surprised because she was dressed like a little dude! Baggy jeans, skull cap, sneakers and flannel pullover but I could tell she was the girl from Super E review. We went up to my room where we sat and talked for about a hour just about life her likes and dislikes. She was very easy to chat to not pushy at all very smart if I might say. Afterwards I moved over to the bed and sat beside her and gave her a little hug and she gave me a little kiss. Now before anyone say anything I don't normally kiss girls in this situation but it was something about her that was different. For one she is gay in her private life and don't see men. But she started to get out of her cloths and I ripped off my pants at this point. She gave me a nice BBBJ for a while but I'm not really a BJ fan I don't know why maybe because I really never had a good one oh-well But at this point I was horny as hell and was ready for a long date with her which she knew.

Second thing that I did and I going to probably get a lot of flack for but what the hell I pulled off her panties (boy shorts) and looked at her pretty shaved pussy and gave it a lick. But this point she was hot as hell and we jumped into 69 which seemed to have went on for an hour. After we flipped over and continued playing with each other. I could feel her thighs trempling with every orgasm she had. This girl is top notch in my book. Like I said months ago there was something about her that I liked. I would do her again in a second. Matter of fact I'm planning another trip to Philly to see her again. Her prices are great and I gave a nice tip afterwards too. I'm attaching a picture of my encounter with her but I'm no Super E or CookyJ so I didn't take many.

She is looking to meet up with some guy too.

And when I said that she hadn't been with many guys she wasn't lieing I had to fight to get my dick in her for a while I thought it wouldn't fit and once it was in she seem to be in some pain but it went away after I took it slow for a while and she got into the grove.

[Thedarkstar]

I met Jay along the Torresdale Stroll after a unsuccessful night run along the K. I was about to give up and go home when I spotted this shapely hooded figure standing by the corner of Orthodox, by the church. I made a U-turn and circled back. I pulled down the block and she followed. We exchanged names and did the LE check. We talked causally and I asked her if she knows a quiet place to park. At this time I asked her to show me her titties. No mention of services until we get to the location.

Once there we got business out of the way (.25) and got down to a very excellent BBBJ, one the best I've gotten in quite a while. Jay is a 26yo WSW with a hard little bod. Average face and above average skills. No digits but I did tip her for the pics. She is very accommodating, no attitude or complaints. Will repeat should I run into her again.

[Hunterspeak17]

The past week, I've been out scouting the frozen providers, but really haven't been swooping down to pick any up, due to the uncertainty of them being a decoy or not. I'll do my best to provide a description. If anyone has any ideas on who they are, if they were a good date or not lately, or where they've been, that'd be awesome to know for my next visit:

Blonde MILF with BSW by the Bull dealership. Northern end. I see these two out there quite frequently. I searched the pic postings, and half of me wants to think that the blonde MILF is "big tits mandy" that SuperE reported on. She does have giant juggs, but the face is very weathered compared to the pics in his spread. The BSW looks like SuperE's Precious, but again, the face is very weathered and old looking. Can someone confirm or deny that these are those girls?

Ashley. A very hot blonde working the same area as the two above. Thin, tight jeans with lots of lip gloss. Kinda big forehead. I saw her get into a couple cars, but not sure if they were ULE or one of us. She seemed almost too good to be true.

Sabrina. Of CJ and SuperE pic fame. I saw her a few months ago, did a relatively ok date, but she's been MIA for a while.

Curly Hair Nicole. I saw her out a few months back as well, and she's been MIA as well.

Thanks in advance! Stay safe!

[Hunterspeak17]

The other morning, I dropped by the Ave to see if anyone was out, especially after all the crap going on with that psycho murder being out there. I did a couple passes on the Ave and almost decided to take off, when I noticed on her usual stoop was a bundled up Holly. I made the turn down the side street and she came along for the ride. She was very pleasant as always, accepted my donation, and proceeded to clean the pipes very, very well. I kinda felt bad when I had to take her back because it was so cold out, but that's the nature of the game.

She was wonderful. I reminded her to be safe out there. She said she would be dating only those she has previously, and staying close by her home.

I've been away for a few days, so I'm not all up to date on the news, but I hope they catch this scumbag soon for everyone's sake, and for "normalcy" to return to the Ave.

[Hunterspeak17]

About two weeks ago, I was out on the ave in the morning hours. And noticed a nice, thick girl on the northern end. I circled around twice and waved her down a side street. To which she followed. I pulled up and she hopped in. She said her name was Cara, which as a frequent browser of the Picture pages on the Philly forum, I recognized that name (and the stars next to her name). We took off to a nice secluded area, and she proceeded to do one of the most erotic BBBJ's I have ever received. Between her sucking, licking, stroking and moaning, it felt as if I was in heaven! She mixed up slow, sensual sucking with intense DT with a LOT of tongue. She took the entire load down and swallowed everything. I took her back to near the ave, and I left a very happy man. She passed the digits along as well. (Funny note: She said her phone was a "regular cell phone with a monthly bill", not a prepaid, etc etc. Yet, a few days later, I see her attempting to make a call from several pay phones along the ave. LOL)

A day or so after I met with Cara, I ventured out in the mid-afternoon / early evening hours and spotted a new face (to me) on the ave. I swooped around, thinking she was a decoy and parked quite far from her. She walked over, opened the door a jumped in. She said her name is Danielle, but goes by the name "Pink". And has a tattoo I believe of the word pink somewhere on her body. She's about 5'5, 120-130lbs, wears glasses (very hot) , brown / blonde hair. Was hard to tell since it was dark out. She wanted to do CBJ but that takes way too long for me, so she agreed for BBBJ but no CIM. We went to a local area that is usually quiet and foot-traffic free at that time of the evening, but we were interrupted twice by passers-by. We drove away, and drove quite a distance for about 10 to 15 minutes searching for a good spot. We ended up in a random parking lot, where she completed the job in almost record time. I emptied my load into a few napkins as she looked me deep in the eyes as I came. There was something so intriguing about her. Her scent, the way she talked, everything seemed so natural and perfect. I don't think I ever felt more comfortable with a SW than with her. Anyways, once she finished, she passed the digits along and I took her to a random spot where she left from there.

Unfortunately, no pics. Someone needs to get an updated pic of Cara up, she's SMOKIN hot now. SuperE has some older pics of her when she was thinner, but she's nice and thick now.

[Lanky43]

Wow so Cara is back out on the K. I Thought that was her that I passed last week but wasn't sure. She did look nice & look like see gained a bit of thickness too. Damn, got to charge my cameras up and find her.

Saw her strolling about 3 months ago, at that point was extremely thick, maybe fresh out of a taxpayer paid caged vacation. Noticed her again, several weeks ago, while still somewhat hefty, was much closer to her playing weight, did the round the block deal but I guess someone else got lucky. One of the best BBJ provider.

[Freaklikdat]

I next met a new friend who's old news on this board: Cara.

I found Cara to be attractive, engaging and fun to be with. We had a car date which included BBBJ and FS. Next time I will definately try for an indoor date and spend some quality time with this tastee morsel.

[Harley32]

I made a visit to the K earlier in the week and I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the number of girls out. I even saw a BSW just before Huntingdon station which has been deserted my last several trips. I also saw a blonde at Cambria which has also been quiet lately. Unfortunately, with the news of another murder I'm sure it will be a ghost town on the K again.

Anyway, I managed to have a great time with some old friends and managed to meet a new one as well. First up was Alli who was in a rush so we did a BBBJ car date. Alli's technique is soft, wet and slow and always works for me. She's a catch and spit girl but I highly recommend.

Next up was a visit with Aundrea. Her spinner body is incredible and it's always fun to twist her up like a pretzel and go to town. I've learned from past visits not to stay for 2 pops. Something always comes up on her end to interfere so I've just decided to get in, have some fun and get back out.

I next met a new friend who's old news on this board: Cara. Here's SuperE's report from 2009.

http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/sh...440#post827440

I found Cara to be attractive, engaging and fun to be with. We had a car date which included BBBJ and FS. Next time I will definately try for an indoor date and spend some quality time with this tastee morsel.

I ran into Krista again and had another good time. She wouldn't allow pics but here's SuperE's report from 2009.

http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/sh...337#post821337

I saw Krista but another monger in a van pulled over in front of me so I decided to go around. After circling the block she was still available and was glad to see me. It seems the other monger wanted a $15 date which she wasn't interested in. Sometimes it pays not to low ball. No offense to anyone.

My last visit was a WSW I first met last week. Her name is Celly and she's a young, petite brunette. I haven't seen a report on her yet and unfortunately she's camera shy. She also claims to be low volume, saying she usually only comes out for 1 appointment a day. Yeah, right. Anyway, we did a car date with BBBJ and FS. If I can ever figure a way to catch up with her for an indoor date I'll definately try again for pics.

Here's hoping LE catches the prick terrorizing these girls quickly.

[SailingJohn]

Just getting to this now.

So I was down in Philly on business Thursday, and love ot drive. Driving while mongering is like shopping for Christmas gifts. Anyway, first time on the K, so I made a few passes to try to figure it out. LE was everywhere. Marked and unmarked, SUV, two on bikes and four standing in a square talking to each other. I always wonder what four guys are protecting, when they are standing in a square. For like an hour.

I passed three or four WSW, some of whom I've seen in photos. But for some reason, I always keep driving to see what's next. Such a big mistake, as they are always gone on the return. It was 9 or so, so I figured I'd come back in an hour, and took a drive on Old York. No one was out there.

Came back a few hours later, around 12am, and picked up a WSW near Allegheny. She said her name was Vanessa, then said her real name was some Russian sounding name. (Not Boris.) When I really got a look at her, she was a mess. Drunk or drugged, glassy eyed, with a piercing on her cheek. Why pick your cheek, I mean really! On my bucket list I want to hook up with a tongue pierced chick, but a cheek? I asked her out, and she left, begging for 50 cents.

No one else was out. Except LE and me. It was time to head out, so I drove south west on the K, past Somerset. Down toward what look like state offices, I saw a very smoking hot blonde. I passed her to check for LE, and on the turn around she was gone. I hadn't been gone but a few seconds, and the only car that passed me on the retrun was a LE van. And he didn't come back up that road. I've seen a few posts of people seeing a hot blonde. Be careful, she was too hot, too healthy, and her face was perfect, like it doesn't spend much time outside. I figure her for LE. The only person that could have picked her up was that van. If she was civvi, she should not be out in that neighborhood after dark! .

Anyway, there appears to be a white camry / malibu? Unmarked in the area as well. I saw it in a lot talking to a bunch of other cruisers.

Turned back, and drove Old York. It looked like 42nd street from back in the day. But it's too dark there to see what you're getting. No street lights, etc. There was one, standing outside a bar, and she had the look, but on my return, she was gone. Story of my life.
