Issue is mapped out

I want to thank The Spokesman-Review for finally printing a map of Spokane’s “prostitution area,” and the City Council for taking on this problem, which has beleaguered and bewildered mankind since the first cave woman said to Og, “It’ll cost you two rocks.”

Hookers are like cops: You can never find one when you need one in a hurry, so this map should not only save time, but it’s also good for the environment. No more aimless driving around West Central, the South Hill or Wandermere, burning gas and releasing hydrocarbons into the air.

One question: Could the city paint the border streets and railroad tracks red, like on the map? Also, if you’re a john whose name really is John, do you get two citations for the redundancy?

The possibility of having your car impounded may well be a deterrent to visitors to the area, although lately there has been an upsurge in the sale of magnetic “Clergy” signs for your auto. (“Administering to the fallen.”) Can’t wait to see how this plays out.
