I wonder how this will affect the stroll, it's already dry, my guess things will be even more dryer. Oh man! (Thats if that person wins of of course)

The mayor of Philadelphia has no say where the national guard goes. It takes money for the national guard to go anywhere. Money that Philly does not have.

I think there is a better chance Batman will patrol the streets of Kensington than the national guard coming. I think it is more likely that Parker gets kicked out of office than the national guard coming.

I don't know what the solution is to fix things but whatever the solution is, it is going to take money. And some of the decisions that current city leaders have made clearly have made things worse.

I don't have the answers to cure K Avenue but I suggest that the open drug market is a sign of outright lawlessness. When you can drive down K Avenue and see people shooting dope into their necks, legs and arms from your car window, you soon realize there is no regard for the police. They might be down there patrolling the area but the level of deterrence is next to nothing. The issue isn't lack of police, its the lack of police enforcement and the National Guard isn't going to change that. Monger on, out of all the risks you take in this hobby, the threat of police arrest is near the bottom of the list.

These are just the sort of empty vague promises politicians make when they're trying to win elections.

Practically speaking, there's no chance they bring in the national guard- what's the point? There are already Philly PD cars on every other corner who do nothing. Are they going to bring in the national guard to do more of nothing? Why not get the army of cops who are already stationed there to start enforcing the law?

The answer is because they don't want to- much of the local economy depends on the money the drug trade, either directly or indirectly. Money flows in as addicts and mongers converge to sample Kensington's wares, and much of that money winds up eventually in the hands of the local businesses and residents. That neighborhood probably would become worse (hard to imagine, but possible) without the drug industry.

They're going to shut down a $1 B industry and also secure untold $millions in funding to house and rehabilitate all the addicts? Yeah I don't think so either.

This is easy for me to say because I avoid that place like the plague.

However something must be done. Taking strong steps like bringing in the National Guard to restore some order to the neighborhood is, IMHO, the right thing to do.

I also feel strongly they will need to do other things like create or augment social services for the addicted to help them kick the habit, get them back on their feet and give them a shot at a much more normal life.

But I do think the first step is to restore order, because from what all of you are reporting, it's worse than the wild, wild west out there. And it's not going to get better on its own.

Several reasons I guess, but others might have their opinions.

First way back in the Heroin only days bags sold for $5. This 'new' stuff sells for $10. Economics?

Second, the demand is there. Any time a girl OD's on something a lot of the girls want to know what 'brand' or label of stuff she was using as they want to get that stuff. Makes zero sense to you and me, but to the drug addled brain it makes perfect sense.

Perhaps, once you fall deep enough in that hole, life is really bad and there is a level of comfort in 'escaping' from the reality of your present life and situation. The stronger stuff tends to have people more zoned out, walking zombies or nodded out and thus life goes by. No need to deal with whatever. Then again, never discount the addictive power of these drugs, the death grip hold it has on people and the extreme difficulty in kicking the habit both physically / chemically and emotionally.

What I found was that trying to apply 'normal' everyday logic to this section of society isn't successful for me. So I talk to girls and try to understand their thinking or rational.

There goes shampoo again spewing is BS. Being totally wrong. And being completely clueless about it.

First, in philly, the drugs are $5 each. Some are even $3. There are people who go back and forth from philly to Delaware and just sell their stuff for double in places like Delaware. This is pretty well known. This is also very clear that shampoo hasn't mongered in philly for a very long time. Shampoo is completely clueless.

Secondly, the best way to explain this is to use everyday logic to it. Consider McDonalds (or any unhealthy fast food). Mcdonalds makes unhealthy food but people still buy it and end up dying early because of it. This is all well known logic but their customers keep buying it and Mcdonalds keeps selling it. Why? People eat it because it takes good. Mcdonalds sells it because the unhealthy stuff tastes good and people buy it. People don't buy it because that's what killed their friend.

Same with drugs. The addicts buy the drugs because that's what gets them high. It's not because that particular stamp killed their friend. The dealers keep selling things that kill people because the stuff that gets people high also has a undesirable side effect of killing people.

Mcdonalds wants to make money. They make money by selling unhealthy food that tastes good and their customers buy it. No one wants anyone to die.

Drug dealers want to make money. They make money by selling dangerous drugs that get people high and the addicts still buy it. No one wants anyone to die.

Here's the part I don't get. Why would you want to produce / create a product that kills your consumer this quickly?

It's half because of the internet, and half because of the change in drugs.

Standing on the corner looking for a date was the brick and mortar version. Not many of the legit (non addict) SW are going to stand out there when they can arrange a date on their phone. Why would they? The SW that don't have phones are battling other demons, which takes us to the next point.

The drugs out now are so much more aggressively addictive than anything that was out there 10 years ago. Back then people could be addicted, and the ride to rock bottom was not so steep or so fast. There were women that I would see, that maintained their appearance for years and looked good. But the stuff that's being sold now just wrecks people. It's a fucking tragedy really, watching someone waste away so fast.

I got to visit the K again recently after a long absence and, for me at least, the K is dead and gone. Few of the many spots that used to reliably have girls exist. I saw only two or three. Remember when girls hung out at the Dunkin Donuts? Those times are long gone. What's worse is that not only are the girls gone, but the hassles of the K remain, and even appear worse. At one time it was of the best strolls I'd seen (and I've been in a bunch around the US), now it's virtually non-existent.

A provider there told me she thought it was due to the introduction of fentanyl, and she thought a whole class or recreational or casual drug users, that made up a number of those girls, has disappeared. I'd have to explore that idea further but it seems like a reasonably plausible working theory.

It seems to be the same with Camden, where I also had good times. I wonder if Baltimore is the same. I have also been to some other strolls in the last couple years that have dried up.

Random drops.

These poor dogs. WTF!

[RisklyDad]

There are more substance user than service providers. Earlier there were many service givers with low to none substance profile which is not hard to find.

Most of the picks are partially or heavily drugged.

On the either poles of the stroll exist some picking which are non substance and service only.

Whoever has a phone is no longer there due to social media and getting regulars.

Anyone have her private info, tried to pick her up on the ave but no dice. She's one of the girls I want to see before the demons fully take over. Appreciate any info.

Stay safe out there!

[RepoMan2642]

Anyone know Marissa?
