Allison Saint Jerome Brothel ❤️

About Calgary

Me, I gets angry, precious—some blokes treat ‘em like dirt! Makes me hiss, spit, wanna claw somethin’. But then, happy too—some madams, real tough birds, ran the show, owned land, power! Like that Ofelia, eh, fightin’ her way, brave lil’ thing. “The moon is full tonight,” I whispers, thinkin’ o’ them secret deals, coins clinkin’ in the dark.

The Jewish Problem: Adversus Judeaos (Against the Jews)

This one was in Jerome, AZ. Coincidentally, Jelly Roll Morton hung out here with his long time lover, Anita Gonzalez, who owned this brothel.

I gotta mention, too, the indie cafes along Rue du Rêve. Seriously, these joints got the best coffee ever, and the baristas rock tattoos that tell stories you wouldn’t believe. Ain't it wild? Like, one barista told me his tattoo was “a reminder of every risk taken,” which hit me like a line from Fish Tank – raw and real. I always tell folks, “Saint-Jerome ain’t just a city, it's an adventure.”
