FBI Seizes Control Of Backpage and Affiliated Sites

I used to know a few women who used to advertise their services on backpage. It's a sad day for everyone...I understand wanting to crack down on women being forced in to it / minors, but it's still going to happen and be harder to catch.

Last time I was in Baltimore I was sitting at a red light when a nice car pulled up next to me with a dude, and young woman in the passenger seat. The guy asked me if I liked to "party", I just said "No, I'm good.".

Funny story: Once went up to Baltimore to "get well", got what I needed and pulled over on the next street to do my thing. A hooker approached my car thinking I pulled over for them. When she saw what I was doing she turned to her friend and said "Oh, he's just getting high"...that was a long time ago, and thankfully I don't live that way anymore.
