Paranoia in the City
A week ago a colleague asked me if I had noticed the “working girls” at the corner of Florin Road and Greenhaven. The corner she’s talking about isn’t too far from my home, and I go by there nearly every day. My response was…what?!? They must have drifted over the I-5. She tells me there’s now a bunch of young women in boots and short skirts walking the street over there. So I decided to keep an eye out to confirm this phenomenon.
I drove by slowly the next day. A lot of young women, yes. A diverse group of females. Most of them were dressed in “come hither” clothing. However…they looked like they may just be students from Kennedy High on their way home, after a stop at the BK or Marshall’s or something. They certainly weren’t strutting like the gals on Stockton Boulevard. My thought is: these were students trying to look “cute” or “hot”–or just trying to look like one of their favorite BRATZ dolls. It was yet another moment I asked myself…where are the parents? Where were the parents? Do they know their daughter looks like one of Elliot Spitzer’s special friends?
