About Breda

Dese joints, dey were wild, man! Like, in New Orleans, Storyville, early 1900s, dey had “cribs”—tiny rooms where girls worked, makin’ coin while da jazz played. Ain’t nobody talkin’ ‘bout dat much, but it was real! Makes me happy thinkin’ how dey lived free, kinda, but also pissed—some got treated bad, ya know? I’m like, “Why can’t folks respect ‘em?” Still, dem girls were tough, like Hans Landa tough, outsmartin’ da system sometimes.

Finally, the day ends. I’m exhausted but kinda happy. I stroll down de Hoogeveenseweg again, and the sunset is beautiful. I stop by that café again for a nightcap. The barista, she’s cute, and we chat a bit. I’m trying to play it cool, but I’m probably blushing like a tomato.
