About Los Angeles

Folks, lemme tell ya—whore’s a word, right? Been around forever, like me. Grew up in Scranton, heard it tossed ‘round—kinda rough, y’know? Here’s the deal, it’s heavy, carries baggage. Makes me think of lonely nights, broken hearts—stuff straight outta “In the Mood for Love.” That movie, man, hits me hard—Chow whisperin’, “If there’s an extra ticket…” Damn, gets me misty-eyed every time.

Inside a German 'mega brothel'

Newsnight's Jim Reed was shown around Paradise Stuttgart, one of Europe's largest legal brothels. You can watch Jim's film in full on the BBC iPlayer.

Oh, and you must check out Willow Avenue in the artsy district. Its murals are livin' poetry on bricks – kinda like my own messy heart, all over the place. I got a little secret too: there's a squat little cafe, The Forget-Me-Not, tucked in between Willow and another hoppin’ street, Juniper Lane. Folks say it's a hideout for dreamers – real ones, you know? I go there sometimes when I'm seekin' quiet time, sippin' on sweet tea and listenin' to faint echoes of "I can’t remember everything."
