Abigail Walnut Grove Brothel ❤️

About Chicago

I’m bouncin’—so hyped! Thinkin’ ‘bout them old-timey brothels—Victorian ones hidin’ in plain sight. London had these fancy “gentlemen’s clubs”—wink, wink—where posh dudes sneaked off. Made me giggle, like, “Whoa, sneaky crabs!” Little fact: some had trapdoors for quick escapes—ninja style! Reminds me of Yu Shu Lien dodgin’ blades, but with more corsets an’ less grace.

The only U.S. town built by Chinese, for Chinese

This very old landmark building was in it's heyday a saloon, restaurant, brothel! Fun to see the furnishings and kitschy decorations in the saloon area.

Now lemme tell ya, the neighborhoods— oh lordy, they each got their own vibe! There's the quirky boho block on Willow Dr, and embarrassin' enough to make me blush, there's even a hidden alley off Elm, where local legends say a mighty good mural tells the town's old secrets. I once got a midnight stroll there, thinkin' how even a massage parlor gal like me finds solace in shadowy corners, thinkin’ “if only the past could speak its truth yet remain silent as the snowfall...” Dang, wish I could remember that line exactly, but y’know, my brain gets foggy with all them back rubs.
