Bella Alachua Brothel ❤️

About New York City

What gets me happy tho—some brothels got heart. Like, in Amsterdam, saw this joint where workers unionized—badass! Fightin for rights, “This is our story,” as *Spotlight* vibes go. Surprised me, honestly—thought it’d be all grim. Nope, some gals run the show! Power to ‘em, I say.

The Summary Offences Act makes keeping a brothel and living on the earnings of prostitution offences. The idea of the law was to decriminalise prostitution but criminalise those who sought to exploit or profit from it. See more.

There are cool neighborhoods like Oak Grove and Pine Ridge – names that just roll off your tongue. I recall sittin’ in a little diner on Maple Street, jokin' and laughin' with folks; it was like a healing session in itself. So many times I sat there thinkin’, “Life is like a rippin’ river – you just gotta ride it, man!” And speaking of rivers, the Santa Fe River sparkles along the outskirts. I love how it twists and turns, remindin' me that our lives have their own rhythm too.
