Just thought I'the pass along something I saw on Coral Street east of Frankford. Spray painted on a wall in big letters is: 'No Wh0res Allowed. Your windows will be smashed. You have been warned. '

Doesn't seem like a good spot anyway because you'the stick out pretty bad. Kinda funny though that a block away on Pike Street Art the pimp has set up shop, hence more girls strolling around Erie / Torresdale.

I've taken a few dates down there. My dates told me there usually isn't too much trouble even with the spray painted sign. For a quick BBBJ, it's a nice location because its so close to the DD where a lot of girls are.

The place must totally be infested if that is the case. I worked on a job site that had a small issue with bed bugs & was paranoid as hell about bringing them home.

Jeez why'd ya pick such a cute girl to litter with Bedbugs? LOL!

[Member #1759]

Funny thing is that I always read that bedbugs come out in the dark. Guess they haven't studied "Kenso" bedbugs cause these things were just crawling all over the damn place and it was very bright in the room.

[Davey1965]

Before reading your post Davey I did exactly what you did when I got home so when the bites disappear

Hopefully that's that.

Yes I'm hoping as well. Haven't noticed any bites so I guess I should be OK. Funny thing is that I always read that bedbugs come out in the dark. Guess they haven't studied "Kenso" bedbugs cause these things were just crawling all over the damn place and it was very bright in the room.

Bedbugs! That's a bug of a different color.

The owner is a stand-up kind of guy. I was thinking of showing up with a gallon of Flea spray and telling him to use it. Bedbugs drink flea spray with their breakfast.

The place is a dump, it is falling down around the guy. It may even be dangerous.

Time to move on.

Indeed Cephlapod is correct! Went to the Doc. Yesterday and I indeed do have bed bug bites! They are awful. I agree the place is probably dangerous, a real fire trap and overall hell hole! At least I didn't bring fleas home to my pet! Before reading your post Davey I did exactly what you did when I got home so when the bites disappear

Hopefully that's that.

You might want to keep your eyes open at home. I was there the other night as well and the front bedroom has bedbugs. When I got home I stripped down when I entered thru the laundry room and thru all my clothing and shoes in the dryer for 45 minutes. Then washed all in hot water and dried again.

Heads up to anyone who frequents Dennis's establishment. I went there with the magnificent Heather two nights ago. I had a great time with her. Unfortunately the next day I had and still have bites all over! They itch like hell! I suspect flea bites as the place is disgusting and he has cats. Stay clear!

LOL! This puts me in a very funny, wacky kind of a situation. Fleas don't bite me. That may sound strange but it is true. I have been in situations where the people with me got dozens of bites and I didn't get one bite. Fleas don't like me. Go figure.

The wacky part is; I could unknowingly take them home to my pet.

Good looking out Trashed, Blackie thanks you.

LOL.

Yet another "twist" on "bringing something home" from the extracurricular activities. THAT would be a hard one to explain away. Always something to be wary of in the hobby.

How is it that the Carlyle doesn't have the bugs?

Actually the first thing they usually think with a walker is that they are buying drugs, the more clean cut the worse they will harass you about the crack you are trying to buy. It's probably much better to stake out an area than walk around.

Very good point Mythbuster.

I don't worry as much about LE thinking I am a buyer, as I worry about the dealers thinking I am ULE. I can deal with a little harrassing from the cop.

I often walk on the avenue. The most important thing is to blend in. Look like you belong, know where you are going and know what you are doing. Don't look like a jerk, a sucker or ULE.

I usually put on my IPOD (down low) , keep one hand in my pocket and I purposely try to look like I am out to find a girl. Why? Because the dealers and thugs know everyone who lives in the hood and when they see a geek out for a stroll the first thing they think is, LE. I would rather they think I am a dirty old man then a cop. Stop in a store and buy something. Going in and out of a store make you look legit. Walking with a cup of coffee or a soda adds to the illusion that you belong. (A full coke bottle makes for a good billyclub in a pinch.) Do not carry a gun. Unless you have a permit to carry. Only suckers, punks or chumps carry guns in the hood. Even the dealers and thugs know better than to carry guns, unless they plan to use them. Unless you do something to warrant it, nobody is going to bother you. Most of the time the thugs are to busy killing each other and not worried about your or my dumb ass.

To answer your question, IMHO. Assuming you at least have a transpass, I would get off the EL at Erie and Torresdale Ave. I would go to the Dunkin' Donuts and get a snack. I would check out what's happening from Torresdale, down Kensington ave, to the Bull car dealer (Act like you are checking out the cars.) I would not go more than a block in either direction before returning to the EL. There are usually girls hanging out with in two block of the DD. Girls can be found further away but they tend to collect in the area between the Bull car dealer and the DD. If you are not satisfied with Erie and Torresdale, get back on the EL and ride south to Huntingdon station and do the same thing. Walk a block or two in either direction.

The bad: things happen quickly, the pickups are quick. By the time you get to the girl, some guy in a car will drive up and swooped her away.

The good: If LE stops you they cannot confiscate you car. (Tip: Make sure you have I'd. If LE does decide to stop you and you don't have I'd they can take you to the station.)

Actually, I like Mythbuster's suggestion. Find a stop to roost and do a little girl watching. You will figure out which ones are working.

[Mythbuster]

I don't think finding a house is a problem, the SW's have contacts they use.

The down about walking is it is very time consuming (covering 2 miles or so) and the SW's are on and off the Ave nonstop and it's harder for a normal guy to stroll around without looking like a John. 90% of the stores are closed and most of the bars are now gone too. So unless you have tattoos on your neck and look like you are dealing, LE will think it's a John.

With the recent K Strangler issue (now in custody) , I woul; the ot recommend walking the K either way. Even if you find a good one, it may be tough going to find a spot house being a visitor. You could get a chaep car rental@Enterprise near D's den. If you do walk it I would hope you would do it during daylight. Best of luck in any event. Also be advised that the Elevate only runs certain hours (midnight) and you would then be on the night owl bus. (parallels the M-F line during those hours)
