High-Class Prostitution Operation Busted

November 19, 2004 — The Big Story on Action News is a big disruption of a fancy call girl operation at an upscale address. It happened at Park Towne Place at 22nd at the Ben Franklin Parkway.

The reason I bring this up is that I live in the same apartment complex where this happened. Completely threw me for a loop, as this is supposed to be a "good" neighborhood. But then again, I don't really feel unsafe. My family may disagree, however.
Needless to say, the family discussion at this year's Thanksgiving will be amusing.

This comes just a few days after my announcement of being a pimp to the Hatrack community. Coincidence? You be the judge. [Wink]

Ah Philly.......city of sin and cheese-steaks

Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :

Really, what goes better with a cheese-steak? Other than a heart attack...

Posted by Dead_Horse (Member # 3027) on :

Isn't Sin and Cheesesteaks redundant? [Wink]

Posted by Javert (Member # 3076) on :

Now that is a good idea. "Sin & Cheesesteaks", a resturaunt and brothel in one. While waiting for an open table, partake in the sins of the flesh. Or vice versa. [Big Grin]

Well, now I want...a cheesesteak.

Posted by Dead_Horse (Member # 3027) on :

Me, too. But I haven't had a good one since I left New Jersey in 1969. So I gave up. [Frown]

I'd offer to mail some out all around the country, but I don't think you'd enjoy them when you got them.

Cheese covered bubblewrap. Yum.

Heh, best I've ever had is a Quiznos Cheesesteak (Yeah...Not that great in comparison to the real thing I'd imagine)

Sacrilige!

What the heck is a cheesesteak??

Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :

A steak and cheese sub sandwich, also known as a Philly or Philly cheesteak. Now I want one. With extra mayo MMMMMmmmmmm

My wife was quite happy to stop in Philly on our way home from Virginia, so she could get a cheesesteak. Thankfully the skies were clear for that leg, because that smell...where's the puking smilie? [Wink]

Posted by Arthur (Member # 4026) on :

Yum! Cheesesteaks!!!

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

I, too, love a good cheesesteak. Sadly, Christy does not. [Frown]

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

You know, I just don't see the charm in cheese steaks.

Mostly, because I find the idea of cutting up steak into such small, thin strips to be anathema.

My wife likes 'em though.
