I was driving through Estabrook Park, 4400 N. Estabrook Dr., late yesterday afternoon, and, as always, I noticed five or six cars parked in the parking lot midway through the park. In most of the cars, there was a single man sitting in his car.

I know that this park -- particularly the parking lot -- is a place for gay men to hook up for casual sex. However, I've also heard that the place is crawling with cops, and even know of a person or two who was busted at Estabrook for propositioning an undercover officer.

So my question is: Why do men still go here? Are they not aware that it's practically common knowledge that Estabrook Park's parking lot may be a hot spot for fine men, but also for "Milwaukee's Finest?" Do they know, but don't care? Is it really worth the risk?
