Where to buy marijuana:
If a street is named with one letter and one letter only, there is a decent chance you will find a dealer on it. The local housing projects also have their dealers but this is where the pigs are so beware. Look for typical dealer signs, but also people sitting on their porch or watching the street from their lawn. In the daytime braver souls would be advised to walk the streets rather than slowly driving up and down them. There are also niches in the area that frequent bars, fast food establishments, gas stations, and shady areas. Generally these are opportunisitic con artists looking to market schwag as kind and make a killing. Sections of town include Fairview Gardens, Belton Woods, South/East End of Town, Whittner Street, Fant Street, River Street, Murray Ave, S. Main and adjacent areas. Remember, this is old news to cops so be careful.
