Jack Frost forces seasonal end to Blue Hill Avenue tradition

Whalehead King reports the prostitutes have fled the street for warmer climes:

... At 4:00 this morning no one was walking the streets, male or female, business person or common pedestrian. It's just too damned cold. If the last two years are any guide, vice will not be visible to insomniacs for the next few months. At least it won't be obviously available to innocents such as myself.

What part of BHA runs through Dot?

Franklin Field is in

Franklin Field is in Dorchester. Anything between Morton st and Columbia rd.

Yay

Hurrah. All these years I thought I was commuting through Mattapan and Roxbury. Now I can tell everyone I get to work via Dorchester.

Franklin Hill is in

Dorcherster. as well as morton st BHA .. right near norfork hardware

And you know what Norfolk Hardware is, right?

Boston's best kept secret!

Almost all of it.

Except the two ends that are in Mattapan and Roxbury,
the rest is Dot or at least the border of Dot.

The WHK was probably talking about dot ave more than BH ave, especially if he was heading to andrew sq.

Both have seen a few common streetwalkers.

Yes, the address was supposition on my part

And you could be right. I picked BHA because whenever the police post a round-up-the-usual-suspects item on BPDNews, it always seems to be about BHA.

How typical

What could have been an fun discussion about prostitutes gets hijacked into yet another debate over neighborhood boundaries.

Combine the two

In the city I grew up in, the main thoroughfares through a vice-plagued neighborhood were Union Ave. and Grand Ave.

So there was a joke about the john who picked up a prostitute on Union and thought it was Grand.

Any equivalent game possible in Boston?

Reminds me of a joke though

I got bupkis on the combo but it reminded me of a joke-

My girl asked me to kiss her where it smells.

So I took her to Chelsea.

(I'll be here all week folks.)

Going wayyy back

When Endicott Peabody was governor:

Q. What are the the two towns named for the governor?
A. Peabody and Marblehead.

Hey, I didn't say it would be good!
