2) le Hotel Carlyle is not on any corner as it is in the "middle" of the block. Not dead center "middle" but "middle" in the sense of not being on the corner. If one were to describe the corner that the hotel is closest to, I would guess that North Carlyle Street would be more appropriate than 15th St.
Enjoy and Good Luck!

My bad! The Carlyle Hotel is on the corner of Popular Street and Carlyle Street. It is in the 1400 block of Popular Street.

…Parts of "K" street are in no way rough. "K" street is in the blue collar, working class neighborhood of Juniata Park.
On the other hand, parts of the neighborhood community known as Kensington are crime infested. Most of the people who live in Kensington refer to Kensington Avenue as, "The Avenue." Out of towners, persons not from the area or people trying to be cool, call it, "The K." Therein lays the confusion…

Just in case I didn't make myself clear. There is a "K" street and there is a Kensington Avenue. They are not one and the same.

There is no 14th & Poplar St. There is no 14th Street anywhere in Philadelphia. There is 13th street, then Broad Street and then 15th Street. Broad Street is where you would normally expect 14th Street to be. The Carlyle Hotel is at the corner of Poplar street and 15th street.

Thanks for the correction. My bad, Duh! Yeah, no 14th St in Philly. Duh again! Too quick a look at Google maps for my own good. LOL!

I have been to le Hotel Carlyle before, can find my way there and assume anyone wanting to go there would either ask a girl or use gps to get there. I don't live in that area so I don't know all of the streets intimately. Just get to the Broad and Poplar area and get west by a block and you'll find the hotel.

Now let me clarify a few things and be a bit SPECIFIC:

1) The real name is Hotel Carlyle. The "le" is used in front of the name to give it the illusion of of being a fancy place, when in reality is a dump (no offense intended) and not a place you would wish to take your family unless you had no other alternative. So the use of the "le" is actually a bit of an inside joke on these boards for those who have been there and are "in the know. " Just some playful fun. No harm intended.

2) le Hotel Carlyle is not on any corner as it is in the "middle" of the block. Not dead center "middle" but "middle" in the sense of not being on the corner. If one were to describe the corner that the hotel is closest to, I would guess that North Carlyle Street would be more appropriate than 15th St.

3) Getting there isn't as easy as the "get to Broad & Poplar" as I described. (too many one-way streets) For me that is good directions and I figure it out from there. No big deal. But since I am being specific: if one is coming down Broad Street from the north, they need to take a right on Girard and left on 15th and left on Poplar. If one is coming from the south on Broad, left on Parrish and right on 16th and right on Poplar. Which of course assumes there are no left turn restrictions or other turn restrictions along said routes and that one wishes to park in front of the hotel. Again, as I said, I'm not from that area, so don't know all of the turn restrictions. Attached map should help. Or Google it and let GPS take you there.

Enjoy and Good Luck!

I've mongered on both Lamar and the K. Lamar is awesome, and I'm looking forward to my next trip to Memphis. But, it's NOTHING like the K!

Now no offense to anyone. And none intended in my previous posts. But my experience suggests that one doesn't wander on to "K" St (###) with Midwesterner nativity, Rocky Mt High, West Coast laid backness or Southern gentlemanness and expect to be 100% safe. The game is more focused and the dangers more acute. Perhaps if one cut their teeth here on "the K" they don't appreciate the superior skills they have acquired in dealing with "more" than is in most places?

"The K" is much more than a bunch of "Good Ol' Boys cruising in their pickup trucks" looking for p*ssy. So anyone who fits the category of Good Ol' Boy, "could" be open for some "street education. " I'm just sayin'.

### = used as an abbreviation here to avoid typing out Kensington Avenue. It appears to be a convention that most around the board understand and have widely adopted. I guess it would be confusing to those "not from around here!" Maybe another point supporting RTFT?

Has anyone seen Katie or Kelsey?

Veronica comes and goes out there. She tends to keep to herself or lets a leech tail her at times. For the most part she's a loner though. She's been around for maybe two to Two and a half years. Those that know her well call her Chestnut Hill as that is her home port. She's very good at her tasks yet don't be fooled with her innocent looks. She will steal anything that is not secure.

I do know of at least four guys that have been stiffed by her. Always be mindful these girls are looking for anything to take and sell.

I swear this is true. I know of one girl someone stole her dentures. Now that should say something.

Me I'm just an 'OL Gator.

I haven't seen this Kelly around since 2013 does nyone know wht happened to her?

Her name is Veronica. When we first meant she asked me not to use her real name. I tried to honor her request.

I am surprised that she is still out there.

Have any of you had a bad experience? The funniest experience, once a SW told me, "this isn't a typical $10 place, the dude has heat, running water, and' shit!

There is a difference.

1. There are hit houses or houses where addicts go to shoot-up or smoke. These are usually abandos or houses run by an addict, who allow girls to bring in dates and charge the dates $10.

2. There are drug houses where drugs dealers hang around and sell drugs to the owner, the girls and their dates. Because the owner is an addict he allows the dealers to run the house. Sometimes you can get a room in the back for $10.

3. There are houses run by people just trying to make ends meet, hustle up a few extra dollars.

I avoid hit houses and drug houses. Most dealers don't want any trouble anywhere near them and addicts know to respect that. The odds of you getting robbed in or near a drug set are slim. The last thing a dealer wants is trouble from some solid citizen.

I was once in a house where a fight broke out between the owner and a street punk who threw a brick into a window.

I don't like being around anywhere where drugs are being sold or taken. If there is a raid, I don't want to be part of it.

I always ask, "Is there electric, running water and heat. I have been lucky. I have been able to locate some fairly nice places. Unfortunately, sharing is out of the question. If you want to find the good $10 places, ask the girls; do not ask me.

I know you mean well, but...

"K" street is rough in its own regard, not a place for those unsure or who show fear. I wouldn't take a girl back to the Rittenhouse under any circumstances. Look up le Hotel Carlyle as an hourly place for SW hook ups. Most girls should know how to get there. 14th & Poplar St, a block off (west of) Broad Street
Be careful & stay safe!

Parts of "K" street are in no way rough. "K" street is in the blue collar, working class neighborhood of Juniata Park.

On the other hand, parts of the neighborhood community known as Kensington are crime infested. Most of the people who live in Kensington refer to Kensington Avenue as, "The Avenue. " Out of towners, persons not from the area or people trying to be cool, call it, "The K." Therein lays the confusion.

I'm not from the area, but this much I know.

There is no 14th & Poplar St. There is no 14th Street anywhere in Philadelphia. There is 13th street, then Broad Street and then 15th Street. Broad Street is where you would normally expect 14th Street to be. The Carlyle Hotel is at the corner of Poplar street and 15th street.

The, "EL," is what most Philadelphians call the, Elevated Transit Train that runs from the far end of West Philadelphia, though Center City and ends in Northeast Philadelphia. Only a small section of the, "EL," is built over the Kensington Avenue Stroll.

I used to go to Rittenhouse Park to play chess. That was years ago. The park is still there, the neighborhood is still there, that's all I know.

Eh, K Street is probably like no other. Does Lamar run under trestles with train tracks above the street?

It adds to the "ambiance" of the stroll!

This is hard core, Big City, East Coast poverty on display here. Might be worth a tourist "look see" but better have a street savvy, hardened A-Game if one is gunna try playing in that sandbox. Gotta give credit to those who have mastered the art of playing in that venue!

Is this your Veronica aka Betty?

Got to ask a question of the team. I have been mongering the K and Camden strolls for many years. I have seen a trend in the last year or so of the availability of the typical $10 houses that the girls offer to take you to do the deed. The last dozen or so times, I have taken them up on the offer. I have not had any bad experiences, but could see things going wrong. (I have had really bad experiences in other cities throughout the US, but never in Philly or Camden.).

I have a lot of experience in the 'hood, so I am not scared, but could see some guys being weirded out. I never take a wallet or anything valuable at all, only enough money for the deed.

. I'm guessing that Kensington Avenue is like Lamar Avenue here in Memphis, but Lamar is probably safer by your description. Mongers here are mostly Good Ol' Boys cruising in their pickup trucks watching out for LEO.

Some photojournalist has made a project over the years of documenting the lives that go on under the roar of the el-train. It is complete with photos and audio from some of teh residents.

If you were at the Rittenhouse Hotel then you were staying in a top of the line Hotel in Center City (CC) Philly. Rittenhouse Square is in one of the exclusive zip codes (19103) in Philly, particularly a couple of sections section of Delancey St.

BUT, you are miles away from the "strolls" that are located in NE Philly. Go to the index page for Philly and scroll into the the "User Blog" section and look for the Thread with the maps of the Philly Strolls. "K" street is rough in its own regard, not a place for those unsure or who show fear. I wouldn't take a girl back to the Rittenhouse under any circumstances. Look up le Hotel Carlyle as an hourly place for SW hook ups. Most girls should know how to get there. 14th & Poplar St, a block off (west of) Broad Street. Or PM Gator, as he usually has a line on some decent high quality girls!

Be careful & stay safe!

I remember the Rittenhouse Square, that's where all the Christmas decorations were. It was a park in middle of the City. I looked at the map blog and now I understand that "K" street and Kensington Avenue are the same. That confused me before. I'm guessing that Kensington Avenue is like Lamar Avenue here in Memphis, but Lamar is probably safer by your description. Mongers here are mostly Good Ol' Boys cruising in their pickup trucks watching out for LEO.
