Ugh street walkers are back in Logan Circle

[Anonymous]

Had a late dinner last night in Logan and prostitutes were literally walking the street on 13th. A pair of them came up to our Uber’s window.

Wtf! The city had done such a good job cleaning up this area and at the very least moving this off the street. Tbh, I don’t go out much these days for late dinners, but this feels like bad slippage by the city.

Has it been like this for a while? These women were literally half naked. I had not seen this in years.

DC needs to get its act together. It’s turning into The Wire.

Wow, I remember this from when I was a kid! They used to cat call my dad when he walked to work!

This was common in the 90s. But given how short some dresses/shorts are now I’m not sure I’d know if someone was a prostitute. The butt cheeks hanging out along with boobs pulling out the top used to be the sign but I feel like I’m see other people wearing that now. I guess if they actually ask for money for sex, that’s the way to kmow.

+1 Too many women of all ages today are dressing like the lowest common denominator -- as tacky and revealing as possible.

Are you sure they were prostitutes and not just scantily-clad women who thought it was their Uber? Did they say something to you or the driver? Because I live in that area and I haven’t seen any prostitutes since 2008 or so—and even then it was mostly around K Street.

Op here: definitely prostitutes. They were trying to talk us (two men) through the window of the car. Came up to the car door. These were not clubbing outfits, I know the difference.

They wouldn't be there if there weren't plenty of customers.

What man would come on here and post about this? I call troll.

OP here:
They were actually one white women and one Latina. White woman looked like the types you see strung out on the streets of Cumberland, MD. She was trying to talk to us through the cracked window: “Hey boys want to talk to us? Where you going? Let’s party together. Want us to get in the car?”

They were doing a hard sell.

Lol why were you catching an Uber blocks away from the nearest restaurant? There’s nothing by that gas station.

Ugh you are so tedious.

We had already been in the Uber for 5+ minutes coming from the east and were stopped at the red light by the gas station en route home.

Look, the street walkers are coming back to Logan. They disappeared around 2015-2016 time period. It’s a bad sign that MPD is letting them freely conduct business again.

"Ugh johns are back in Logan Circle" is something OP could have said, yet didn't.

remember when the Council was considering legalizing prostitution? good times!

[Anonymous]

I definitely might be wrong but, I sn’t prostitution decriminalized in the District? If so what is the big deal?
I remember a bunch of articles in the Post a few years ago arguing for the legalization of sex work.

Ok, gotcha. Actually there have always been “street walkers” there. It’s nothing knew. Sad, but not new. And that area is very, very quiet at night and with virtually no commercial / night life.

You just don’t get out much.
