Streetwalker Reports

[Forth Ryte]

I've seen this mentioned a few times on here. Can anyone narrow down the location of the Torresdale stroll? Thanks!

Several years ago, someone posted a map marking Torresdale Ave from Howell to Tyson. You'll find those streets on Google maps or your GPS.
Personally, I never found that route worthwhile.

K seems too busy with l. E, I found torresdale to be accommodating.

I recall about 10 or 12 years ago when they did the renovations on North Front St. Drove out the SW's from those stoops. They did a repaving of Kensington Ave around the same time (I remember feeling a bit awkward passing the same construction folks multiple times in the morning when they'd be lining up the cones), but I don't think they did anything like they did on Front with the new construction & renovations. Maybe that's coming?

Yep. It's typical. There's always signs of sneaky behavior.

I never go to an AMP during a local election years. It's virtue signalling to raid them then.

All good things must come to an end.

The dopers and SW's will just move to another part of town.

I remember hearing that a lot of the people from Northern Liberties and other areas moved to Bristol years ago. Not sure this that's true but I know Bristol has a lot of drug issues and I recall it being rather sleepy a decade ago.

[Mr Predictable]

I sure hope so!

Get all of them up out of there.

Make it Northern Liberties part 2.

It will be before you know it!

The Yuppies are coming, that's why it's getting paved.

I used to work for an organization with the goal of driving drug addicts out of the area to other parts of town.

The Kenzos will be history before you know it.

This looting and burning has to stop. How can I make my usual run if every other street is blocked off. It was bad enough dealing with the blockages from the re-paving but now they are looting all the stores and burned down Rent-A-Center. I want to go down but I was out on Saturday after they looted the sneaker store near Clearfield and the crowd was a bit unruly at that point. Saw a guy trying to smash a stores lock open with a baseball bat near Allegheny with cops on the next block. I just want Peace and my girls back. The world is a crazy place right now.

Be safe!

I was there when they broke the window and started looting the shoe store it was crazy. I busted a quick you-turn I thought they were about to start flipping cars. There were also young men shooting Roman candles at homeless people stacked up at K & A. I was out there last night and it was much calmer but less talent out. I would have previously thought that neighborhood couldn't get any shittier. I know Differently now!

I was planning to be in the area but common sense told me to postpone my hobby till the smoke clears (literally). I can just imagine the unruly crowd seeing a white dude driving an imported car down K Avenue. Forget finding a SW to service my Johnson, I would be lucky to get out of there alive. Keep us all posted, I think I will look elsewhere (across the BF Bridge) to find the girl of my dreams, I think Philly is leading the nation in looting and criminal behavior at the moment.

I had all the pot holes memorized and would avoid them every single time and a few of them could take out your alignment or front tire. I am willing to bet that some local politician blew a tire and demanded Paradise Avenue get repaved for the economic benefit of K Ave's main industry and we aren't talking pharmaceutical sales.

I had the potholes memorized too. Along with some of the dips in the road that were semi-fixed but not completely. And became very angry when I forgot because my head / eyes were scanning the sidewalks. That incredible thud of the undercarriage of my car hitting the ground is not fun (as I'm sure you all know too). I always jokingly assumed they left the craters in the road to deter certain activity and make it more challenging. Its been a few months since venturing out to the area. Going to feel like a whole new world on the next visit.

For you mongers who haven't been to the ave lately they are paving the whole thing. I could have sworn all the potholes were our punishment!
