I don't condone the use of the word "trannie" but your description is accurate there were prostitutes on every corner, people selling crack, trying to buy crack. I got robbed my first day there! I have an older blog about my experiences there. It was hell and a disgusting place and I would never, ever go back.

I don't use "tranny" as a pejorative or an insult, just short for transgendered

It is pretty much a slur at this point. I use "trans" as short for transgendered. :) But, as I said, very accurate description. Although I was there before the xanax craze. I was in Orlando during that and xanax was rampant there too.

You didn't happen to know a tubby white dude named A.P. did you?
