I was in Edmonton on Wednesday, fortunately it was during the day. I was visiting a client in the shopping centre. It's definitely not an area I would want to be walking around in after dark.
I reached out to a few girls locally, but got zero response - this was around midday.
Edmonton seems like a high crime area.
External Link/Members OnlyMy observation.When considering a prospective punt, one thing us punters usually need to do is locate nearby cash points. Inside the shopping centre there was a Lloyds bank with a cash point outside. It had a queue of around 20 people, many were women and none were elderly. A quick scan of the demographic gave me the impression that they weren't queueing to get the funds for a punt

Passing by again around 30 minutes later the queue still contained around 15 people.
I appreciate that market stall holders probably prefer to receive cash, but is this high dependence of cash a further indicator of the demographics of a poor / high crime area?
