I actually didn't see my first hooker until I moved to Broadway and Irving Park in Chicago when I was 30 years old! And then what I saw made me wonder what the hell these guys are thinking?!!? I mean really, some of these women are downright NASTY. I wouldn't want to get within 10' of one much less have sex with one!

But now that I've been here for 12 years I see them just about everyday. I work on North Ave and there are usually at least one or two hanging out at the corner....and the neighborhood has improved dramatically since I've been here!

Actually though, they are really very sad. There was one, that I haven't seen for awhile, that I heard she lost a couple of her toes to frostbite which is why she walks a little funny now. And I would say she's not older than 25. She looks like she could be pretty if she'd get off the drugs and take care of herself. Like I say, I haven't seen her for awhile so hopefully she's ok and has gotten some help.....
