Subject: Squirt's Cruising Warnings
We are guys who love to cruise and - if we're lucky - have sex
with other guys. Unfortunately, cruising is still a risky business almost
everywhere. That's why we, at Squirt, try to provide you with the tools
(no pun intended) you need for a hotter, safer cruising -- which includes
posting warnings provided by our own cruisy members. Go ahead, have fun,
take care.
Permission is hereby granted to reproduce and circulate these
warnings, provided any reproduction is preceded by the following notice:
"Permission to reproduce given by Squirt. Originally appeared as part of
the website Squirt, your neighborhood cruising guide, at

members and Squirt is not responsible for their accuracy."

CANADA
British Columbia
Vancouver
Robson Public Market (02/06)
Just be careful. Washroom was closed for about 2 weeks and recently reopened
and I heard it was now patrolled, and have actually seen an uniformed
security guard.

INDONESIA
Jakarta
Hilton Hotel Life Spa Fitness (02/10)
Please be careful! There is an Indonesian member, 30 - 40 of age, well-built
body, and with military hair cut at the Hilton Life Spa quite often. He
pretends to be gay in sauna or bathroom and catches your eye with his good
body. But once you make approach to him, he reveals his anti-gay nature and
becomes violent with you. I saw how one of GWM was hit and accused in public
at the Hilton. Please be careful with that guy. He is a member of Life Spa.

Legian, Bali
Hulu Cafe (02/09)
I was at the Hulu in November and I was shocked to see so many people
dealing drugs there. Also, when someone was leaving the bar, was stripped of
his money on the street. I don't recommend this place anymore, it is now a
dangerous place to go to.

Birmingham
Boots (02/09)
Please, guys, be aware that the police are keeping a close eye on goings on
here due to pressure made by the Birmingham City Council.

Birmingham
Boots (02/14)
Take extra care in this location, as somebody was recently raped in the
darkroom, in the basement. Also the basement darkroom is now considered
private and not a part of the club, so that you enter it at your own risk.

Birmingham
City Plaza (02/06)
Last week I saw the police taking away a young guy in cuffs from this
location.
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=5057
Birmingham
New St. Station (02/06)
This location is no longer used or safe due to onsite in-toilet security, as
well as police patrols and raids.
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=4810
London
Charing Cross Station (02/12)
Recently added a large windowed attendant's office, which has full
visibility of both the cubicles and urinals. They appear to be taking shifts
to ensure that at least one attendant (armed with a walkie-talkie) is
actively watching at all times. Peepholes in cubicles have been filled up.

London
Finsbury Park (02/11)
Last time I've been there, I was robbed at knife point. Be very careful!
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=498
London (02/04)
Putney Exchange Shopping Mall
I would urge great care, there are cameras covering every inch of this place
and a very diligent security. I work close by and would love it to be a
popular site, but I won't risk it.
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=4162
Morecambe
Library Car Park portacabins (02/06)
There are three closed circuit TV cameras in the area; beware, big brother
is watching you! Also, the pan has been removed from alternate cubicles.
Beware, not as safe as it seems.

Jersey Marine (02/08)
Been told that the police are really getting tough on this place now and
threatening arrests if the action continues.

UNITED STATES
Arizona
Tempe
Canal Park (02/01)
2/1/2001 - Mounted police patrol, bike police patrol, patrol cars, plain
clothes...constant police presence. It appears to be increasing by the day.
Also citizen patrols with cell phones. I consider it very dangerous and
getting worse. Will not go back!
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=1082
Tucson
Greasewood Park (02/03)
I know for a fact that there have been undercover cops going there and that
busts happen. You can still have a good time, but be cautious.
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=974
California
Napa
Vista Point (02/08)
Police are giving citations and taking control of the cruising in this area.
It is no longer worth checking this place out. Police have made arrests.
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=5665
San Francisco
Central YMCA (02/08)
Word is it that they are trying to crack down on sex in the steam rooms at
least, if not everywhere. A friend of mine he was 86ed for life for a semi
hard-on in the shower!
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=5293
Colorado
Denver
16th Street Mall Pavillion (02/09)
Cameras are on the door and guards are there all the time...don't bother
with this one.

Fanning Springs

Watch it, got busted there by young black lawman.
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=5128
Georgia
Atlanta
Buford Highway Twin Theater (02/03)
A few months back the police were raiding this place and made several
arrests. I have even seen the old troll that works there out in the parking
lot with a bullhorn, telling people not to sit in their cars!
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=1203
Illinois
Chicago
Chicago Place, Saks Fifth Ave (02/02)
Some plain clothes cops/security guys around. I saw someone being ejected
from the building in a huge scene. Be careful not to look through the
stalls to the people that are waiting for the stalls against the wall,
across from you. You can be pulled out for soliciting if you try to jack at
an undercover security guard.
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=1695
Indiana
Indianapolis
Circle Center Mall (02/10)
Don't go there. Recently, undercover police officers have held stings in
which 20+ people have been arrested in 2 months. The police know about this
site and are taking action to stop any and all action that does go on there.
Even legitimate purposes are frowned against now. Best advice to all is
stay away. There's plenty of other places to enjoy yourselves.

South Bend
Adult Emporium (02/06)
I heard there was some sort of police raid up there last week.
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=4381
Kentucky
Bowling Green
Lampkin Park (02/15)
Keep in mind that almost all busts have been in the public restroom. Anyone
opening the door can see immediately everything that's going on. Not too
smart to play in there.

Massachusetts
Boston
Back Bay Station (02/06)
City police are patrolling this place periodically. I was stopped a couple
of months ago when on a legit visit, but the officer was pretty persistent.
Finally, he decided I didn't know what was up. Close call, be very, very
careful here.

Provincetown
Dick Dock (02/05)
I go there quite often in the summer and there was security there last
summer around the docks. I have heard of, but not seen, cops that walk down
there. Most people now go down to the beach in front of and to the right of
the boat slip.

Michigan
Lapeer
Rest Area on Eastbound I-69 (02/12)
The cops are out there. I got questioned again out there on Sunday, Feb11/01
The cop told me that they have been watching and that there were a lot of
the same people in there every day or so. He also told me the people that
get arrested would have their names in the papers and that family members
would be told as well. I have met this cop before and got away with the
excuse that I was waiting for my girlfriend. So if you like to play out
there, I would find a new place to go.

Marshall
I-94 West Rest Area (02/07)
Always be on the lookout for the cops. Calhoun county loves to stop in this
rest area.

Pelahatchie Park at Reservoir (02/11)
Occasionally patrolled by Reservoir cops, used to be infrequently, but more
often in past few weeks.
http://www.squirt.org/site/listing.asp?Post_ID=5804
Ohio
Springfield
Clarence J. Brown Reservoir (02/11)
Be very careful, they do have police stings there from time to time. Most of
the time you can pick them out fairly quick if you just set and observe
what's going on around you.

Pennsylvania
Harrison Township
Harrison Hills Park (02/12)
Some dick police, not frequent. Have heard of bashing. Be careful and
cautious.

Nashville
Smith Springs Recreation (02/08)
All city parks are being watched. Two years ago, in January, there were 223
arrest in the city. Hamilton Creek hard hit and still watched. I was in
Smith Springs park two weeks ago and I am sure plain clothes were there.
They ere 4 really good looking and very friendly guys about 25, all with
black coats on. I had my metal detector with me and appeared to be looking
for stuff. They left me alone and when the cruisers left, they all met in a
huddle for a while, then spread out again. I left after warning several
people I knew. Be very careful.

Everytime I read this I can't help but picture some 1-900 ad on
late night television with some Chippendales looking guy in
a red g-string reclining on a chaise.
