@Twelvebit: Those posters, yes those posters are very important to the skid row story.

You won the big prize, you are the first person to write to me about them.

Those images would never be presented in that way in any district of los angeles, but skid row.

May I add that accross the street is a police station.

That corner is 5th and Wall St, more drugs are still sold outside every day then you could ever imagine. The drugs are used to fuel primal urges ...sex happens to be one of those urges. Love is not included in the thought of sex on the skid row... Love is not a functional emotion down the nickel(skid row).

I was recently invited to directly meet some of the new drug gangs that run that corner.

But, back to the posters...the images of half naked females on display at that size screams hate toward women, and then they are in a zone of utter poverty...what really is the product in America.

When you include the factors of race, self-race hate, broken families and runaway teen girls. This image makes me sick, the injustice is so very open for all to see.

Gosh, I bet there are more sexual crimes daily on skid row then most places in the country. Women turn tricks for $5 and a hit of crack. Hundreds of convicted sexual criminals live on skid row...and that's a fact!

Now, combine that bit of information with this: there are 1000's of kids that "live" in skid row welfare hotels, rescue missions, and battered family shelters.

Hope for peace.
