I see you posting a lot about Wilmington. How is the open air scene there? Big? Small? Seems like heats a factor there for sure. Just curious how the open air markets are there.
Wilmington has a lot of open air, and like I said, there is no real organized drug gangs like in North Philly so the price is $30 less for a bundle and I can't help reiterating, it is the same exact stuff as Philly. I posted a story in drugs in the media about a bust in Wilmington, dude had like 9000 bags on him, coming from Philly. So he was buying from a distrubter in Philly, as everyone else does, and they make 10 bundle packs called logs down here. Street dealers or well connected junkies with the money buy logs and sell the bundles (the junkie may sell some to pay for his or do them, whatever, I get a log I'm doing it). Wilmington is only about 60 blocks long and 20 blocks wide so it isn't hard for police to patrol like Philly which is huge so it's dangerous heat wise. Also there are a lot of junkies that will beat you posing as dealers, lot's of stick up kids. My guy was dry for 2 days and I went open air shopping and it took 2 hours to find some because almost everyone I asked was either trying to rob us, a junkie trying to beat us, or just cool and saying they only had crack. There's tons of heroin around, it is just most heroin dealers do the cell phone thing, whereas crack dealers are more open air. So I had to start out in the safest areas and work my way around to one of the hottest corners. Good thing is I got a new connect out of it. These one group of young boys said they had it, I asked what brand and they said UBU or some shit. I knew no UBU was going around so I knew their intentions. This year was a record for shootings and other violent crime so it is dangerous trying to do open air. I feel a lot safer in North Philly than Wilmington or Camden doing the open air thing. I knew that corner I went to was going to be good but it was a last resort. I tried everywhere else first but the sickness starting really sinking in so I said fuck it. The proximity of the 95 on and off ramps are what make open air copping in Wilmington so good. Most corners right off the highway got anything you are looking for but that day it was pretty dead for dope. If my guy was out then it must of been a city wide thing because he is always good. I can call him 6a.m. and he'll be good. There are only so many distributors and if you live on West Side most use one or two people, same goes with every other side of town. I get more nervous the farther I get from 95. Something about being able to make it to 95 in a couple of minutes vs 15-20 minutes makes me nervous. Plus the area I was in there are no white people, not even puerto ricans for that matter. So you stick out like a sore thumb. The best part is West Side because it is mixed with whites, blacks, and puerto ricans, and is close to 95 and all roads leading to 95. It is also the area that has the best beat artists because most suburbanites cop on West Side and the junkies target them. I'm born and raised in West Side so I know the game there pretty well. Most people from like Newark DE, or Chichester PA, or Elkton MD go to West Side too so the beat artists try to single them out. Also Wilmington "thugs" got Napolean Syndrome. Not that they are short but they want to "represent" Delaware and will shoot you just to shoot you. I know a black dude that killed 4 white people in 3 seperate shootings and beat all 3 cases because no one snitched on him and he didn't talk when the police picked him up. I knew him since he was like 12 or 13, I was around 24 or 25 then. He always had a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. Luckily I knew him but he literally would shoot white people just to shoot them. He ended up getting killed about 3 or 4 years ago. Even though I knew him I can't say I felt bad for his passing. He literally was a menace and targeted white people. Him getting killed alone made it a lot safer to cop on West Side for white people. Like I said, I grew up on West Side so knew most of those guys but now there's a whole new generation of young boys I don't know and don't know me so I am very careful. I've got two stories of stick up boys who's sole intention was to kill us and I don't know how but am still here. I got a cousin that was shot copping in Chester PA, and know another guy that I was in recovery with, we both had years clean and relapsed, but anyway, he ended up going to Camden and was left for dead and stuffed somewhere in this abandoned house and somehow lost circulation to his legs and had to have them both amputated. Right now I am sure there are 3 or 4 other dudes out there like the dude I knew and more to come so it is very dangerous in Wilmington to cop open air and same applies for Chester PA and Camden NJ. I'd strongly recommend copping in Philly vs any of them 3 cities. It is a lot safer. North Philly is strictly business. They want your money not your life.
A few years ago Camden NJ, Chester PA, and Wilmington DE all had their police forces come together and have some meeting on how to stop the dope from making from Philly in to those cities. I still don't think most of Camden's dope is from Philly though. I only had stuff from Camden a couple of times and it was in those wide white bags not the normal blue bags.
Sorry for getting long winded. I just don't want to attract people to Wilmington because the bundles are $30 cheaper and leave out the other side of the story. You are better off having a cell phone connect than open air shopping. I lived in Chester so I can say the same thing about there too, don't know enough from personal experience to say it about Camden but heard enough horror stories that I won't do it.
Also wanted to add, Baltimore can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. I lived there for a couple of years and got familiar with the area so could open air cop if it came down to it but I had 2 cell phone connects so only had to resort to it a couple of times. Another problem open air copping in Baltimore for me was I could only find scramble on the block. I'm sure people native to Bmore know where to get raw on the street but I didn't. My connects had raw and I don't know WTF is in scramble but it is a big capsule with like a gram of garbage in it and specks of dope. It smells and looks like urine when you mix it to shoot but one of them cuts dies something to intensify the rush. People claim it is quinine but I find that hard to believe because that is hard to get a hold of now and with all the scramble in Baltimore they would have to go through hundreds of pounds of it a year and someone in the DEA or local law enforcement would have to catch on to someone buying that much of a known cutting agent to supply it to the street. I've tried like hell to buy quinine online and haven't had any luck. I hear it is good for RLS when you are sick and also heard it intensifies the rush so I always wanted to try adding it to my dope to see what happens but am coming up blank as far as getting it anywhere.
