Hey, a little good news for Texas for a change

The price of heroin in El Paso has dropped considerably due to increased availability.

(Thanks to Steve for the lead.)

Here's a little something I bet you didn't know:

What heroin brand names (and logos) are seen in different cities?
Brand names (dealer designations) and logos are not used in all cities. In cities where they are, including those below, brand names are sometimes—but not always—interchangeable with street names (slang).

Baltimore, MD: G-money, murder one, john hinkley, code blue; (colored packaging, spider symbols, eagle symbols)
Chicago, IL: Doorway, one stop; (faces printed on bags)
Columbia, SC: New york, new york; skull and crossbones; mercedes; plymouth; playboy
Detroit, MI: Danger; (skull and crossbones)
Miami, FL: (cartoon characters)
New York, NY: Tres pesos, shark, first class, america on-line, death certificate, murder, 777, dead president, millenium 2000
Philadelphia, PA: 747, 911, bone collector, creeper, devil's advocate, eagle, fatal, m & m, maggie 2, movada, old navy, one life,opium, rabbit, really hot, river, rose, samurai, scorpio, scorpion, super AT&T, super hot, super nautica, thumbs up, timberland, WCW, 7up, bad habit, bart simpson, big mac, body bag, chevrolet, cobra, cold water, colt 45, dead on arrival (DOA), dead.com, demolition, diesel, DMX, do-wop, dracula, fingers, fuega, godfather, holyfield, homicide, I'll be back, K & A, kill over, knock out, land rover, laser, legend, life after death, lucifer, mike tyson, motorola, nautica, no joke, octopus, one and done, pacman, painkiller, poison, star, suicide, super buick, super slow, titanick TNT, tommy hilfiger, too hot to handle, soo strong, toyota, UPS, USA, V-8, viper, white control, white house
Portland, ME: Red devil, batman, black eagle, TNT
Washington, DC: Jerry springer, 747, $; (different colored bags)


Those Philadelphians have got quite a variety from which to choose.
Miami has no brand names, but its logos are cartoon characters. So are its government officials.
I wonder what the brand Jerry Springer connotes - in a hard drug.

Oh brother. I hope I haven't just made YWA a Google target for heroin addicts.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
