A few nights ago I ran into a friend of mine who regaled me with how, earlier that day, she had gone into west Baltimore to pick up some pills. “You would not believe the shit I saw Rebecca,” she said, “There were 14-year-old hookers twerking on park benches, drug deals going down in FRONT of cops, and like EVERYONE was selling drugs. EVERYONE. People standing on the sidewalk were doing secret hand signals to communicate what they were selling and oh my god dude I can’t even describe it. Some lady was shooting heroin in the McDonald’s we stopped at and OH YEAH I finally got my pills! FINALLY!”
True story.
If that story sounds exciting to you, then please, feel free to come down and visit Baltimore and see for yourself. If it doesn’t sound exciting and you have no interest in seeing how the “other side” lives, then don’t. Or, if you’re like me, and have a morbid curiosity about these things but don’t have a car, you could watch this video of what it’s like to drive through Detroit at night. It’s not nearly as raunchy as the pill-purchasing story my friend had, but it’s still chock-full of WTF moments including but not limited to:
Hookers twerking on the street
A hit-and-run outside of a liquor store
Casual street fires
Gang activity
Screw Disney World, I’m visiting Detroit next vacation I get.
And if this video just doesn’t do “it” for ya, try topping it off with this Detroit hooker in a wheelchair looking to talk her way into some business:
