About Houston

Brothels, man, they wild. Been around forever – fact is, oldest job, right? Old Rome had ‘em, called lupanars – stank like hell, graffiti everywhere, dudes braggin’ on walls ‘bout who they banged. Kinda funny, kinda sad. Gets me thinkin’ – folks back then, same as now, lookin’ for somethin’. Here’s the deal… makes me mad, tho – the way some treat them girls. Like they ain’t human. Pisses me off, man! Seen too much crap in my day.

More from Merriam-Webster

A brothel, strumpet house, bordello, bawdy house, ranch, house of ill repute, house of ill fame, or whorehouse is a place where people engage in sexual.

The parks? Pfft, they're wild. There’s Ridley Park with its edgy sculptures and shady benches where couples and curious souls meet. Oft times, I wander near the Ridley River (spelling? nah, it's cool) and think, "This is like Toni Erdmann—it's deep, man!" I get these crazy thoughts about intimacy and urban life all at once. And yeah, the neighborhood called Eastside, where street art explodes on every wall, gives me all the feels. Its alleyways are a secret haven for whispered confessions, kinda like life itself. Man, you never know what you'll find, you know?
