San Antonio Escorts: Official defends District 2

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

… I think we caught a lot of heat for that, like, ‘Why does District 2 get all the attention?’” Garcia said.
But in terms of crime, even coverage deemed positive still can leave the media consumer with a negative image, McBride said. Reports about a decline in crime on the East Side may be thought of as a “good news” story, but in the end it’s still sticking to the narrative that the East Side is only about crime.
For District 3 Councilwoman Jennifer Ramos, equity of resources was important. But she didn’t want to slight her neighboring district.
“We’re not high on the homicides but some of our criminal activity is similar — prostitution, drugs and burglary,” Ramos said.
At times there will be police sweeps targeting prostitution or drugs, she said, but in the end, once the cops leave, the criminal element returns.

Razor is the fourth in the Underbelly franchise and is based on the book of the same name by Larry Writer, who spent six years researching Leigh, Devine and the razor gangs of Sydney.

San Antonio Escorts: W&S still interested in Anna Louise Inn property

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

That kind of attitude exemplifies Western & Southern’s snobbish intent, said Tim Burke, an attorney representing the inn and its owner.
“They think the people of the Anna Louise Inn ‘aren’t good enough to live in our neighborhood,’ ” Burke said.
The insurance company, Laatsch said, supports the social programs provided by the Anna Louise Inn, saying “they are valued and need to be continued.”
But in court Barrett suggested some of that programming shouldn’t have been allowed because it violated zoning laws. “It was a homeless shelter,” he said.
The inn offered homeless a place to stay in a program that ended in June and won’t return, inn spokeswoman Mary Carol Melton said. The inn also provides housing for single women, programs for early childhood education and a program to help women leave prostitution.

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

… We’re going to use some of our undercover female officers to act as prostitutes and see if they will be propositioned by these men,” says Sgt. Barney Whitson.

“They’re just as big as a problem as the female prostitutes are,” Whitson points out.
The undercover investigation stems from concerns from those living in and around the south-side neighborhood where the operation is taking place.
Whitson says they will continue to target those breaking the law on San Antonio streets.”We put it together pretty quick and get it done,” he said.
To prove that point, within the last eight weeks officers have arrested more than 40 women on prostitution charges on the city’s south side.
