Masaki EWSIS on 25 Nov 09The podcast, "Searching For Flushing Main Street's Pimp", caught me by surprise. I thought the Flushing Pimp had been killed by another person. I had heard he died, but I wasn't sure how until now. I expected it the information to be on the internet by now, but I guess a primary source is the best way to gather information. When the podcasters found out that they were on to something, I thought they did a good job in expressing their reactions when they discovered something new. The main part was when they found out that someone from their school actually knew the pimp since he lived in the same apartment that she did. I thought this was a fairly lucky find. Another part that stood out to me was in the beginning of the podcast when one of them said, "I don't think he's a pimp.", because I thought the same thing. I think they only called him a pimp because he dressed like one. In the end, I discovered he wasn't really a pimp after all. It was fairly well edited, and I thank you for sharing your podcast. I think there have been a few clips at least instead of just images of the pimp.

Mei EWSIS on 25 Nov 09I've seen him on the street very often for the pass three years but I just realized that he's not around here anymore. I used to see him all the time on Main street and he's always talking to himself.

Michael Harris on 25 Nov 09I agree with you Masaki, This post caught me by surprise too. I really didn't know that a person with so much going on in his body could continue to move on, Many people with those type of problems would lay down and accept defeat but he continued to move on and dress good. Although many people laughed at him or talked about him he continued to do what he does. That is what i call determaination
