The "Strip"

Apparently Dickerson Road got mentioned quite a few times in CNN's "Selling the Girl Next Door" documentary. I didn't realize that stretch of road was well known enough to get mentioned in something done by CNN.

No, this was all new stuff. Really disguisting people as they were covering this pysch meeting of a bunch of people that were found guilty of having sex with minors that had been pimped out on that stretch of road.

My ex father inlaw was from Spring Street, it's full of hookers and drug dealers, his brother run his own out of his parents house, when he went to jail, guess who took over, no question on the formation of my previous wifes lack of morals. I can tell you, prostitutes in movies are nothing like real life, I can't see why a guy would "PAY" for sex with them, you couldn't pay me, I'd rather get kicked in the nuts in a Taikwondo class

And here I thought the intersection of Elvis Pressley and Brooks Road were the toppers....

Then again - I remember being propositioned while filling an RV with gas at Watkins and Thomas.

The thing that I can't figure out is why anyone would even consider a girl that was honestly GROSS!

Unless you are talking about high class hookers, I can't see any attraction. Common streetwalkers are bizarre... The one that approached me while I was working at SUNCOAST was obviously starved, malnourished, had gray throughout her hair - and her boyfriend was watching (I could tell that was what he was). Pure trailer trash....

The line she handed me was "I don't think I can pay my rent this month, so if you help me I can do things for ya..."

Yeah right

And Whistlers mother was a virgin...

I'm much too old to die from a young fools disease.

Although - given that it was just down the way from "HARPO'S" (which was still open at the time) they would have had to change the documentaries title to:
"Selling the Girl from the Trailer Next Door"


Is it just me with my upbringing what it was - or is everyone allergic to "SKANKY" folks? That damn girl sent a shivver down my spine.

On and off ramps for interstates are the worse for sites like that. People will fight tooth and nail to not have someting like that put in their neighbor as that usually brings that type of business(easy escape if need be on the interstate).

Well, when you've heard people say: "Can't see when the lights are out." I'm not really surprised that they would go for the honestly gross girls.

You also have no promises, either in their health(and eventually yours) and there is no promise as to they aren't running a con on you with their pimp and/or boyfriend.

Don't worry, those diseases don't discriminate.

I'm there with you, but I have the unfortunate feeling that we are in the minority as it is a very lucrative business.

My father outlaw made quite a bit of money with just 2 in his stable, balanced out with his crack addiction and drug business he was runnin. Some guy prefer the chicks who can take their teeth out, skinny too, but you know crack is a great diet, gives one the anorexic look.
