Detroit Escorts: A Neighborhood That Never Gave Up
June 18, 2010 at 9:24 pm | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsMy wife and I tend a plot in a Detroit community garden in an area of the city called Midtown. Last year when we first started this venture we lived in Midtown—now we are just a 15 minute walk away in Woodbridge. Midtown these days seems like ground zero for development in the city. Several restaurants, bars and retail shops have opened here in recent years. Twenty years ago, however, it was a different story. Midtown was then referred to as the “Cass Corridor,” Cass being a main thoroughfare through the area. The Corridor was a den for crack cocaine junkies and prostitutes, and it certainly was a contributor to the negative image Detroit has carried for decades. Midtown’s transition since the late 80s has been remarkable, thanks in large part to Wayne State University and a host of creative entrepreneurs.

About 50 people turned up for last night’s public meeting at Peabody Elementary on the proposed Midtown zoning overlay.
After the proposed Overton Square grocery store development fell through earlier this year, the Memphis Regional Design Center got together with the Midtown Development Corporation, the Cooper-Young Development Corporation, and the Cooper-Young Business Association to draft a plan that would dictate development standards for renovations and new construction.
“The community says, ‘this is what we want our neighborhood to look like,’” said Memphis city councilman Shea Flinn, who was instrumental in beginning the overlay process. “We’re not going to prostitute ourselves for any developer who comes along.”
In the overlay area, which is in a sort of upside down L/arrow shape because of the historic neighborhoods already designated in Midtown, current commercial zoning would change to mixed-use commercial and there would be a review process for all commercial development.

Detroit Escorts: Suffragette City
June 17, 2010 at 1:14 pm | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsSuffragette City
George Bernard Shaw’s Mrs. Warren’s Profession speaks with a timeless and, on occasion, starkly insightful voice
For those who tend to think of late Victorian/early Edwardian feminism in terms of the insuppressibly cheerful suffragette mother in Mary Poppins, George Bernard Shaw’s Mrs. Warren’s Profession is something of a revelation. Penned in 1893, the play intelligently proffers and discusses a raft of feminist issues still hotly debated today, including such basics as whether a woman is truly free to define herself without being branded a freak and the more seminar-level issue of whether prostitution is a victimless crime.
Of course, in Shaw’s day these ideas were still largely new, scary and untested and the manner in which he treats them is, perhaps by necessity, didactic by 21st century standards. So, although there is a palpable mother-daughter emotional drama working throughout the play, there is also a great deal of explanatory speech-making. So much so, that at times Mrs. Warren’s Profession feels as if the character …

Detroit Escorts: Waters Asks FBI To Investigate Serial Killer
June 15, 2010 at 9:14 pm | In Detroit escorts | No Comments… All of these murders were in a very short period of time and happened right here,” said Waters at a news conference Tuesday at the City Airport Renaissance Association, which is where one of the bodies was found.
Volunteers joined Waters and handed out flyers to women warning them to be alert, never walk alone and not to hitchhike.
“This is why we are doing this, to alert our area and our neighborhood,” said neighborhood volunteer Joyce Johnson.
Waters has asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to use the FBI’s profiling and investigative expertise to put the community’s fears at rest.
The FBI has not yet responded to Waters’ request.
However, the Detroit police said they do not think the homicides are linked because each case was very different and some of the victims were prostitutes and some were residents.

Detroit Escorts: Warren the Ape: It’s Like if Fozzie Bear Worked Blue
June 15, 2010 at 1:13 pm | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsIn the episode, we see that former Greg star Warren is trying to cope with his addictions. He has a meeting with Dr. Drew where he talks about his psychological history, alcoholism and drug use, and we also see him in his support group, where he callously comments on everyone’s sob stories. He has an college-student assistant (played by Glee’s afro’d Josh Sussman) who takes him to auditions, and we see him try out for a cereal mascot gig, where his ideas to make it less “cute” are met with guarded enthusiasm. But he promptly loses to Chauncey, an adorable Snuggle Bear clone who already shills for everything from fabric softener to feminine hygiene products. Warren’s pretty ticked off, so he decides to hire a former prostitute from his support group to make a sex tape with Chauncey and ruin his career.
Detroit Escorts: US included in "Trafficking in Persons Report"

Human trafficking is, as per experts, a form of modern slavery, a growing industry, and it can happen to anyone. An annual worldwide estimate of 12.3 million adults and children are forced into labor, bonded labor and prostitution, and 56 percent of those are women and girls.
For the first time in 10 years, the United States has been included in the Trafficking in Persons Report, an annual review performed by the Department of State, about the global efforts to eliminate the trade in human beings and sexual slavery, according to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act’s (TVPA) minimum standards.
“We believe it is important to keep the spotlight on ourselves,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in presenting the report on Monday. “Human trafficking is not someone else’s problem. Involuntary servitude is not something we can ignore or hope doesn’t exist in our own communities.”
