Girls on Leavenworth Street in Omaha Nebraska - Omaha Street Scenes Volume 4

It’s well after midnight but traffic is as thick as rush hour along Leavenworth Street in Omaha Nebraska.

Scantily clad women walk mid-block, their heels click-clacking on the asphalt as they move from car to car, leaning into driver’s side windows to entice the next man in line.

This "market" has operated in plain sight on Friday and Saturday nights for years.

The women stop drivers who line up for their services.

Their pimps pull the strings from the shadows.

Working girls seen near 24th and Leavenworth Street just outside of Downtown Omaha Nebraska.

The authorities largely turn a blind eye to it all.

That leaves the women and their handlers undeterred from doing a brisk enough business that backs up traffic along this stretch and causes a traffic jam, even on a hot and humid Omaha Nebraska summer night.
