Knowed out I would love to see that Rockwell! Lol.
You sure she wasn’t headed to Wal-Mart?
Now that you mention this, when I was in 7th grade, I had the misfortune of sitting in band next to a 9th grader who was a despicable, vile bully who was just as ugly on the inside as she was on the outside. I heard, more than once from more than one person, that all the bragging she did about drugs, and what she did to get them, was NOT made up - she really was turning tricks for dope.
When I saw her sister’s obituary a couple years later (leukemia), that explained a lot. 
There was also a rumor that one of my college classmates, who was married with a young child and got divorced while we were in school, was paying girls in our class (one of them being a HS friend of my sister’s) to do, ahem, certain things that his wife didn’t want to do. I actually find it believable, even though this guy had his kid when they were both 16, and he looked like a cross between Chris Farley and Jabba the Hut. (I told a friend about it, and she replied, “Oh, hell, I know women who’ll do that for free.”)
Dutch Harbor, AK. Pop. 4376 in the 2010 census had prostitutes when I was there in the early 90’s.
I can believe it. Isn’t that town the hub of giant crab fishing?
I’ve also heard that Anchorage has lots of open prostitution.
I am betting like the rust belt there is a bar/business/place where she could blend in (sort of - basically be ignored) and do well. I’m talking curb-service type prostitution and not just someone who turns a trick now and again to score some weed or for the thrills. Hookers have never been my thing but I have a friend who claims to be able to find a “pro” in just about any town in America given an hour and a hundred bucks or so with the expectation of a lot of change possible.
According to the episode of Cops I watched, simply asking for a price quote is enough to get you arrested for solicitation. Ask at your own risk and hope she is not a UCC
Instead of a price quote, see if she is wearing a button you might buy. Ask what the price of the button is, and if there are any bonus items thrown in.
It worked (sort of) at the 12th Precinct.
I have seen plenty of them in Lorain Ohio, around 50,000 residents. They seem to have put an end to it, at least anything real obvious like it used to be.

To blend in, she’d have to wear a flannel shirt, overalls, dairy boots, and a cowboy hat…[/QUOTE]
Isn’t that how the two hookers in Fargo dressed?

I haven’t seen street walkers in years. Internet killed the streetwalker. Now they set up in a cheap motel and the clients come to them.
She looked like she was waiting for somebody to pull up, and she wasn’t at a bus stop.
There’s a difference between Wal-Mart trash fashion and hooker fashion. Wal-Mart fashion is usually “I don’t give a shit what I look like,” and she was definitely displaying her goods with intent for rent.
Pretty much so.
Tough competition: soul v. body.
I’ve been approached in isolated impoverished communities of a few hundred people in which addictions were rife.
Not really a small town, pop. ~18,000. But Wahiawa, HI is known for cross-dressing “ladies” of the evening. There may be a few transsexuals, but most are obviously men dressed as women. The really interesting thing is that they don’t hang out one the main streets, but in the residential neighborhood and sometimes around the bridge heading into the town.
I used to run a cell phone store facing the main street (the building complex spanned a entire block with a church at the far end) and would exit out the back gate when I left at night, and would see them as I exited. They would always wave hi and I’d wave back.
My hometown had 500-600 people, depending on the day. A fellow I knew told me that our truck stop was known for prostitution.
I never saw one myself, though, so perhaps it didn’t count. He may likely have been thinking about the next town over, which was about the same size but blessed with a motel.
They just didn’t want the competition 
“Mother, what’s a BJ?”
“Twenty-five bucks – same as downtown.”
