Allison Whitman Brothel ❤️❤️

About Dallas

I saw this movie, *Son of Saul*, y’all—lordy, it’s my fave, but it’s heavy as a sack o’ taters. Ain’t no brothel in it, but it’s got that line, “You failed the living,” that sticks in my craw. Makes me think—brothels been ‘round forever, right? Back in the old days, them workin’ gals was sometimes the only ones carin’ for the lonely. Kinda sad, kinda sweet, like a lonesome whippoorwill singin’ at dusk. But me, I’m wonderin’—did they fail the livin’ too, or just make do?

prostitution and seamen. The Fourth Ward's brothel district was notorious. Walt Whitman identified the city's “hardest houses” of prostitution.

City center? Man, that's where the real stories start. Main St. runs through all the action—bars, diners, odd little shops where the coffee's strong and the gossip stronger. Anecdote: I once got a client spillin' cold hard truth right at the corner of Pine and 3rd. Crazy, huh? "You merely adopted the dark!" echoes in my head, like a twisted motto.
