totally dead - a damn shame

It definitely seems totally dead - not sure if it's ever coming back.  I live in a different part of town now and also don't have a schedule that conducive to street shopping at 2AM these days but you're right - even 5 years ago it was pretty popular especially along certain parts of the strip you mentioned and even more so once you went east of Western.  There were a couple of streets (those who were around know which ones) where you would sometimes see 10-12 girls all lined up at once - it was crazy.  I've driven around a few times in the past 2 years or so (and yes at the "right" times) and just seen NO ONE out - maybe 1 scary looking girl down near Vermont but that's it.  There used to be three-four distinct tracks I could hit even if just to see who was out but now there just seems to be no action at all - maybe someone who still lives near there or hits it more often than me could speak on it better but definitely seems dead both at night and during the day (there used to be a couple of girls who worked a particular block in the day time - LATSDog knows what's up).  MAYBE online had something to do with it but I don't see those sorts of girls on BP or CL and if there's another site I don't know about let me know :)  - there were some drop dead gorgeous girls out on SM most nights - someone posted a while back that some of them are doing porn but I don't know.  LE has stepped up their presence a little bit but yeah it's crazy - you can hit that block a few steps east of Western right when the clubs come out and where there used to be a 6-dozen cute to HOT girls working you literally won't see anyone - wonder where they all went (they all seemed to live near by as well).  Also that taco truck further east moving from the parking lot (where they could hang out) to the street didn't help I'm sure.  

What other factors - More LE?  A couple of high profile assaults/murders of TS girls in the area?  Increased gang activity and/or gentrification of Hollywood  - the build up of all that shit on SM & La Brea?  Wish I knew - I wasn't around for the Blacklight or Peanuts era so I know my experience with that area pales in comparison to "back in the day" but even compared to a few years ago - seems dead for sure... :(

I live in L.A. but it's been 3-4 years since I've checked out the street scene
that used to be active along santa monica blvd between la brea and western.

It used to be fairly alive but I tried to check it out recently and there was  
literally nothing to check out. Like zero activity.

Has online advertising totally eliminated the street scene? Or did the it just
move to somewhere else?

if online has truly replaced it, that's too bad. Even if you're not actually picking
anyone up, the crazy energy of the scene was cool.

I have this vague notion that those tracks were tied to certain nightclubs that
may have shut down or moved; maybe they moved and took the tracks with
them? Does anyone know?

I would be interested in hearing from everyone also. Years ago the girls were there by the dozens. I liked the Blacklight bar and met many pretty ladies there. Speak up Gentlemen!!

... that one da-a-a-y ...  
TS girls may be allowed to roam free, 24/7, throughout the land
and in a special privileged area enclosed by Highland Ave, Melrose, Vermont and Sunset Blvd,
where they may make a robust living that allows them to sustain their lifestyle and more,
protected, not harassed, by the police against their brethren who victimize them,
where they may dress not to conceal their endowments, but to glorify them for the appreciation of their admirers and passers-by !

I have a dream today

To me...it died after the '84 Olympics. They had to clean it up for the tourists coming to town and has never been the same since.  
You could cruise/meet and then head to Peanuts and cruise some more...oh well. I'm getting good at this internet thing and think it might catch on..
