About Philadelphia

Brothels ain’t just sex, nah – it’s history, too. Oldest job, they say – been ‘round since forever. Like Eve in the movie, all wise and ancient, watchin’ time roll by. “The air is thick with ghosts,” she’d whisper – brothels got ghosts, too, I bet. Stories in the walls, creaky beds talkin’. Surprised me, diggin’ into it – some madams were queens, runnin’ empires! Power in fishnets, folks – wild, right?

Then there’s Eastside, like, the artsy neighborhood with graffiti so rad it makes my counselee’s hearts flutter. There’s a tiny bookstore on 7th Ave that’s, like, literally full of cool poetry and self-help books. I, like, love wandering there after my sessions when I need a breather. Seriously, it’s like a mini therapy session for my brain.
