I'm out of touch with the Roosevelt scene, but did take a walk down there the other day at like around 5am......Trannys everywhere. The one exception was this black chick that was walking by. I turned to look at her and she looked back, she did some shit with her lips/tongue indicating a green light I guess. I would've pursued it but I was tired as hell and was focused on getting home.
I too remember the days back in the 90's......those were the days. When I started, it was like in 94 and it was $25 for 15. Some places had as little as 2 or 3 girls, others had like 10. I'd usually go with one or two other guys and we'd go from house to house trying to find what we liked. I remember that one block in the high 80's where there were like three spots on one block. It got so hot there they used to park a mobile LE trailer. Some places used to be way off the side of Roosevelt and the dudes would actually drive you to and back. The quality that you could find was amazing in some of those spots. Some cribs were better than others. I remember this one spot right off the corner on Forley, that place usually had the better cadre.
I'm going to check out some of these bikini bars and other spots mentioned. One thing I know is that with enough persistance, you can usually drag a girl out of there. I haven't done that yet, but for a long time, I was outcalling a girl that works in one. The story on that goes like this.......this provider shows up, she's bait & swtich but nice looking. She has no personal phone, but I give her mine and arrange for side work. She calls me from her friend's phone "The club dancer/spends time with you girl". One day the provider offers to bring her friend in. Friend joins us and friend looks better, so I cut provider and stick to friend. Obviously, some of these girls that get paid to drink/chat with you are down. It's just a matter of making them feel safe about it.
