Streetwalker Reports

[Mike Sweeney]

Where will they go? Hell if I know. Once the heat is off and it warms up a little, things will probably return to normal.

But!

We must not be so naïve as to believe that things cannot / will not change. When I first came down to Kensington Ave the area around the park and the Donut shop were the two hot spots for pickups. That's changed. CraigsList use to be the rage. That's changed. The internet use to be the exclusive domain of the Hi-priced escorts. That's changed. Now a couple of the pimps are posting their streetwalkers on BackPage at near streetwalker rates ($60).

It has been suggested that Torresdale Avenue should be added to the stroll. Personally, I have never had any luck on Torresdale. Some mongers include Frankford Avenue in their search. When you stop and think about it, the possibilities are limitless. It wasn't that long ago when South Broad Street was the hot spot.

Change is inevitable.

I may be way off base here, but there used to be a stroll over on Lancaster and 52nd, there was a lumber yard on the corner. Does that stil exsist or I'm I really showing my age.

Where else would they go?

Where else would they go?

A lot of these girls do not like being out there in the winter as you might expect, so quite a few simply hibernate in rehab for the winter. This also gives them a chance to lower their tolerance to whatever their drug of choice is so they don't need to do 300 bucks worth just to get high once. When the nice weather returns, so will they most likely.

Where else would they go?

5) Decreased number of mongers.

If the girls cannot find dates when they are on the Avenue they will stop coming. Many are relying on their regulars, word of mouth and the internet (BP). Most girls come down to the avenue because it is quick and easy money. If they cannot make their money on the,"K," they will go elsewhere.

Number 5 is a kind of a Catch22, (No girls, no mongers and no mongers, no girls).

As long as the drug trade thrives there will be streetwalkers in tow.

There have been a few things that have led to diminished numbers:

1) Fear of the strangler.

2) Increased LE

3) Increased number of arrest.

4) Weather.

Many SW may be in a municipal sanctioned time out, but many probably found this to be a good time to try and break there habits.

After the spring thaw and obligatory spring LE "operation", I'd be surprised if anything changes.

Your best bet for now is to stake out corners or routes to those corners and be ready to act. Approaching on foot may again be a viable option since I'm guessing the random stops for DNA collection have ended.

I cruised down the K yesterday afternoon and didn't see anyone all the way the whole length down from Frankford. Only did one pass, so don't know if it was just my timing or not.

I drove down again this morning, about 845am, and I saw at least 3 girls working. I somewhat decent looking got into a car right as I was driving by, in the north end. The other two I saw way down in the south end. On my way to work, so didn't have time to do more than one pass, just was curious how things would be.

Where is everybody? I know things are slower in the winter but this is ridiculous. Somebody is seeing SWs. Let's hear some reports!

On a separate note. Was it confirmed that Jamie Lynn was the girl found?

Unfortunately I believe so. I've heard it from multiple sources on the avenue. Apparently what I heard was she died from a Cocaine overdose. Also word on the streets was that she overdosed in Bishops house and he had someone move her body. If you look at the news, they even mention that the body found was dumped in the abando. So if this is true and there is anyway that Bishop was involved, I sure hope the Police have gotten drift of this info that is going around on the streets. Unfortunately the police in Phila seem to turn their heads when it comes to the pimps and there activities.

I was about to propose the same question. I cruised the K and OYR stroll yesterday only to come up dry.

I was about to give up when I saw blonde / pink (check out the picture) on Venango. Her name was Ashley, she's 22 and doesn't do this very often.

Don't let her fool you. Ashley has been around for at least 2 years. There are pics of her taken by the former SE. By the looks of her she must have just gotten out of lock-up again as she has some weight on her. Yes she is a good date! Must have done her close to a dozen times over the years. She's usually known to work with either Bishop or Teddy from time to time, so if you found her by Venango that means she's prob back with Teddy.

At first I thought she was high since she had an unnatural laugh that came out often. She was probably just nervous.

Oh No! She was high!

[Fbtom]

Thanks for the very good reports! I'm envious as I'm stuck with very little time to play lately.

I was in town earlier in the week and the weather had actually improved quite a bit so I was disappointed with the apparent lack of action. I saw a couple of SWs on the north end but by the time I came back around they were gone. I was about to give up when I saw blonde / pink (check out the picture) on Venango. Her name was Ashley, she's 22 and doesn't do this very often. LOL. At first I thought she was high since she had an unnatural laugh that came out often. She was probably just nervous.

I normally like to go twice but that isn't on the menu at all. She said she doesn't even do that with her boyfriend. Anyway, we agreed on half and half and headed over to my spot. Ashley performs a good BBBJ and I'm sure would be worthwhile if that was all you wanted. We moved onto FS and I enjoyed that as well. Ashley doesn't keep a phone so I'm not sure how often she'll be out but is worth your time if you should see her.

I must have gotten there just a bit too late. Did my first pass around 4pm and was pretty dead out. Saw some girls that weren't even an option, but LE was pretty light for a Thursday. Have to see how the weekend is.

What is a good time to go by the station? It seems like there are a lot of school kids and related LE presence from 2. 4.

I haven't seen nearly as much action on the south end as I've seen on the north end ever since the stranger started his rampage. I did however score on a Sunday night a couple of weeks ago with Joanne. She was near Haggert and when I saw her glasses I thought I had found Michelle from CJ's reports. Joanne is a nice looking MILF from Jersey who hits the Ave occasionally. We had a good time which included BBBJ and FS. She doesn't rush you and I had such a good time that I've hooked up with her several times since then over in Jersey. I'm attaching a couple of pics that honestly don't do her justice. As I mentioned, she is a MILF (31) who has kids so her stomach isn't the same as an 18 yr old. On the other hand you can actually carry on an interesting conversation with her as well as enjoy her womanly charms.

OYR:

Kensington Ave:

I hit the avenue at Lehigh around 1:30pm. Huntingdon Station was jumping. I saw four new (new to me) faces and spoke with one who verified that the others were working. Unfortunately she did not want her pictures taken so I passed on her. I did not have time to circle and try one of the others, even though the girl I picked up assured me that her friend would probably agree to pictures. All of the girls were doable.

I saw a three man LE foot patrol near Allegeny Avenue, otherwise everything seemed normal.
