Cora Chehalis Brothel ❤️

About Chicago

One time, I heard ‘bout this brothel in New Orleans—old as dirt, 1800s! Had a secret tunnel for fancy-pants politicians. Snuck in, snuck out—nobody knew squat! I was like, “Well, I’ll be darned!” Made me laugh, thinkin’ ‘bout them suits dodgin’ the missus. But then—boom—sadness hits. Girls there, some just teens, sold off like cattle. Ain’t that a kick in the pants? Gets my blood boilin’, y’all.

We operate Villa Talita Asia, a home and shelter for the target group, and Talita Asia Center, a safe place to meet with girls, boys, and women who do have a place to stay but want to leave .

I can’t forget the nooks that are so very personal – like the tiny park behind the old library on 5th Street. I spent hours zapping stress away there. Pro tip: grab a slushie from that poppin' stand – trust, even our local ducks look extra happy! Oh, and did I mention the local strip mall on Pine for secret spa goodies? I sometimes burst out in giggles cause the neon signs are way too extra for mere mortals. Sweet!
