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.


The shoes give it away. F me pumps.

WFH policies that have emptied out downtown after hours, coupled with inflation and a recession hitting any day now. Looking forward to 2025.

When I started working at a law firm nearby there in 1999, there were "park view" offices and "hooker view" offices.

Streetwalkers are professionals.


“Ho” seems more apt.

It just hasn't been as common ANYWHERE in the past 25 years. Craiglist and all the online stuff really made prostitution disappear off the streets and into motels and other venues. It probably is significant that prostitution is again back out on the street. I'm not sure there's another term for prostitutes marking their wares on the street (as opposed to online, in a brothel, etc.).

I remember seeing them at Coco Sala (RIP delicious dessert and mac and cheese place) and around other places by Metro Center ish in the 2010s.
