That some sections of Midtown are plagued by the spectacle and danger of street prostitution and drug dealing is fairly well known. But perhaps less known (until now, courtesy of the Midtown Ponce Security Alliance and Midtown Patch) is the specific problem of gangs of roving, marauding, cross-dressing prostitutes, which the MPSA has deemed, "the most distinct pattern of blatant street criminal activity afflicting the neighborhood." The Patch sites are known for their neighborhood-specific, community focus and usually have a neo-folksy feel, with space for serious news, heart-warming personal interest stories and plugs for local businesses in equal parts. All one can really say about the presence of this story is, "only in Midtown." [Midtown Patch]
