Suggestion for the board

[Road Lizard]

I see providers that travel to the state and ask where are the good & safe places to stay and it got me to thinking that maybe could we start a list city by city as people want to contribute of places to stay and avoid and make it a sticky.

This can benefit hobbyist that are traveling too. They will know which motels they should avoid meeting at and which ones are safer.

If naming hotels to stay in is too specific, then we can name the areas/exits to stay at and still name places to avoid.

Like this:
Meridian,
Avoid staying any place on 22nd ave and 29th ave. Most any place in the mall area and exit 154 is safe other than the Western motel and Comfort Inn. Those 2 are fleabags, all others are gtg.

It will direct providers to safer areas for them instead of flying blind.

Thoughts?

Great idea, it could be a pinned thread in each area.

Good Idea.

Sounds good to me.

Well, the main downside to this would be giving uncle Leo a very good idea as to where to set up for watch points. I have responded to ladies here in AL on requests for good area's, but it is usually thru a pm. Just my thoughts. dj8

Well, I think it is a good idea and I've seen the question by visiting providers about where to stay asked many times (especially about Jackson where some areas are best avoided). There are many posts in Coed over and over again, so a Sticky would work well, since it won't get lost under the newer posts. It's easy enough to modify them too, if the area recommendations change. I'm all for trying it, but don't send recommedations unless you have first hand knowledge that a place is good (or bad).

That's why I was saying that we can tell them the areas that are ok. Look up at my example about Meridian, if they go to Exit 154, there are about 20+ places there I recommend and 2 that I don't...those 2 I named. It tells them that that exit plus the mall area is safe. If Leo is watching, then he's got to watch all 20 at that point...not too effective for him.

VIC... Can we send you the info? I'll cover Meridian in better detail.

Wow, well if I may "butt" in; ladies are probably more qualified to know what kind of "in-call" is best for what we "provide". They have been there, done that - so to speak. I would take the word of a fellow sister over a gentleman who hobbies once in a blue moon and is a newbie. Even the seasoned male veteran doesn't really know from a woman's perspective what we all look for and what works best for an incall (I think Nicolet called them the bells & whistles). I won't get into all the ins and outs (security cameras; essentials for accommodations, amenities, airport shuttles on occasion, outdoor vs indoor entrance etc.) but definitely the women can help each other almost the best. A provider asking in co-ed for a good side of town is fine, but we all know its really to drum up interest. When it comes to specifics on the actual location, a woman who has stayed there or been there and had experience on a daily/weekly basis at specific locations...they always get my first vote. If anyone posts a good/bad side of town, that's definitely important to visiting "friends" for just personal security for sure.

It's a list for everyone to put together, providers and hobbyist, all input is welcome and needed.

Remember, it's not just for the provider's benefit, it's also for the guys too. There's some places that I won't go and I let people traveling thru this area know to avoid. If a provider is set up at one of thses places, I won't go and I'll warn other not familiar with the area/hotel know for their safety. Where she sets up is also a screening device to use.

And I didn't know that was a way the ladies drum up business. Just trying to help.

Send me the inputs and you have a good point Holly. Maybe I can put the username of the person who provided the info, so guys or girls can use (or ignor) whatevery they feel more comfortable with, depending on their perspective.
