I used to live in a whore house!

[bond_323]

I once rented a house that I thought was once used for immoral purposes. It had quite a few very small rooms for such a small house and every room had a door to the outside. The tiny living room even had 2 outside exits. The entire house seemed to be designed for easy escape. One other interesting thing about this house... it was built in 1898. At the time I was living there, I was reading a book written in 1898. I use pipe cleaners as book marks, but when I picked up this book, the pipe cleaner was gone and in its place was a one dollar silver certificate printed in 1898. I used that dollar bill as a book mark for as long as I lived in that house. When we moved, the dollar bill was gone and my pipe cleaner book mark was again in the place I had left off reading.

Sounds like your former house of ill-fame also has a playful spirit!

James Brown was supposed to have been born in a brothel...just sayin'.

That could explain his "Whoooooaaaa!!!! I feeeeeel goood" and "I feel nice, like sugar and spice" lyrics....:censored:

This thread reminds me of our honeymoon

We drove around Nevada and Arizona and stayed a few days at the Red Garter Hotel. Which had a colourful history.

There's an old building in downtown Guthrie, OK that was - supposedly - a brothel "back in the day." Also, there's supposed to be a "secret" underground tunnel that led there from the old train depot (which was a frequent watering stop on the railroads of the day). Apparently rich and famous passengers "in the know" would kill a layover in dowtown at the brothel without having to worry about someone seeing them enter there from the street.

Old Colorado City has some tunnels also. It was the Capital of Colorado Territory, but, when it came time to make a state capital, Denver won. Seems, there were so many Cribs, (rooms that prostitutes worked out of,) and all the railroad men, just way to rowdy! http://www.westsidepioneer.com/Articles/040705/CobwebCorners.html

According to my mother, I lived in a whore house for a while. This term coincided with me living with a girlfriend my mom despised.

My dear old mom is similarly afflicted. If there is a woman in this world good enough for her precious sons, that lass has yet to show her face. Mom gradually came to accept, and even have kind words for, my lovely missus, as well as the gal my brother Mike left a widow. That took only a decade or so, in both cases. And she's on good terms with my other brother's first ex-wife (he's had three, so far), who is also the mother of three of her grandchildren. But more than a couple old girlfriends of mine kept their distance from the old gal. I never faulted them for that, knowing how it feels to be looked down on by girlfriends' family members.
