Around the Block, Episode 1: Meet the Girls!

Just like any other street, you'll find ordinary people doing ordinary things.  Loads of hardened laundry. Washing stacks of dishes. Combing their plasticized hair. Picking at putrid scabs. You know, the usual daily activities of life.

But not here. Nestled between Al and Bruce's Bushwhacking Salon and Paula's Pampered Pet Boutique, you'll find number 17 Ash Street. It's the home of two gals just eating up life... and occasionally a box of chocolates...

Meet Joan. She's single, vibrant, sassy, and spunky. She shares her brick brownstone with her bestie, Kathy.  Joan lives a curler-free life with one mission... Retire!
Although she has her days, for the most part, she's pounding the sidewalk. Checking out the art. Checking out the theatre. Checking out the hotties.  And occasionally, reading the best seller on a rainy day. But when that sun shines bright, she's out and about.





Meet Kathy, Joan's roommate. Shy, modest, quiet and your typical American girl.  Often mistaken as lesbian lovers due to the large number of cats seen hanging around, Joan and Kathy are nothing of the sort.  In fact, they both dating hotties.
Running, walking the dog, being carefree, Kathy doesn't have time to pick her nose. Kathy works at the local coffee shop, serving hot toddies to hot bodies.  She's often out and about with Joan on the town.

Down around the corner on Block Street lives "Cat Woman"... Aka Jackie.  She got that nickname by the jumpsuits she wears.  In all honesty, she prefers dogs.  Often the leader of the pack, Cat Woman is always on the prowl.  Joan and Kathy adore her. She's hip. She's always up for drinks. She's also doesn't shed fur which makes cleaning up easy.









Together this trio makes the world fall to their feet.  Make the hearts of many men go pitter-patter while sending a few to early graves. They're just three girls out on the town...










Meanwhile, down the street...
The "Text M for Murder" Detective Club had just finished their weekly meeting.  The mystery of the week: The Strange Case of Lawrence L. Lawrence.  A bizarre case of a murdered year-round nudist found, fully-dressed including hat and scarf, outside of a Tito's Turkish bath and candy shop.
