Depending of the time of day you're cruising, the police are out and about and WILL stop at any given time particularly around the Marsalis/I35E area to check out ladies who hang around with even a hint of prostitution.
I'm guessing I saw this lady sitting on part of a wall on the north side of Tenth Street this morning. Can't say it was her for sure, but whoever it was looked a bit rough AND she had a male friend hanging with her. Most of the time these guys are their protection in the real sense and not like a pimp as there are some real thug characters driving and walking through that zone. Just be aware that there are still some old boarded up houses and lots with trees and shrubs, and it's hilly so you can't see cars coming at times until they get close.
That being said I'd suggest to any guys particularly my white hobby brothers, that you really make sure the big head's doing the thinking when you drive through or stop to make your business deal.
