Sex sells.

Police say it's selling very well in East Cleveland.

"Sometimes you can't help but see what goes on," says business owner Laurie Pavlou.

After the sun sets, the streets in East Cleveland open for business--the business of prostitution.

Cleveland detectives constantly receive complaints about the after hour activities on Central Avenue-- from the drugs to the hooking.

Pavlou runs T&L Baking Co. on Central Avenue.

"When you see it happening you feel bad for the neighborhood because it just created trouble for everyone else," she says.

Prostituting did create trouble for 43-year-old Dorothy Edwards this week. She was caught trying to offer oral sex to a man for money.

Detectives say Edwards is just one of many trying to make a living on the street.

Neighbors say that line of work has got to go.

"It makes me feel uncomfortable we do have a lot of young ladies in town that are very good girls and they do not need that type of influence in their lives," says resident Cora Bailey.
