Answer

Maybe the 'salt the paper' line is implying that there is no food, so they have to eat paper? I'm not sure about that, though.

'Easy pickins' is a phrase that can mean different things, depending on how it's used. In this instance, I think they're trying to say that it's easy to pick someone up for sex on Locust Street.
