I have lived in this apartment for four years. Tonight I took my second walk in the neighborhood. A block from my house I was approached by a guy with low English skills. I quickly realized he was offering sex. At first I thought he was offering himself but then he quickly said, "I bring Fillipina."
So I was dealing with a pimp.
I have often said that I will stay here as long as it remains interesting and I see new things. Being solicited 200 yards from my house definitely rates as interesting.
And I wish I could express how unbelievable this is: I live on the outskirts of town... I can see the open desert from my tiny balcony. The number of cars that pass in front of my place in a day are counted by the dozens, not the hundreds or thousands.
In other words, it's not quite as rural as where I grew up but it's the next best thing. I'm pretty sure Newhall, Iowa, doesn't have any pimps.
