About Chicago

Hey there, pal! So, brothel, huh? Picture this—soft lights, velvet vibes, kinda like happy little trees swayin’ in the breeze. I’m sittin’ here, thinkin’ bout “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter…and Spring,” ya know, Kim Ki-duk’s masterpiece. That movie’s all bout cycles—life twistin’, turnin’, like the seasons in a brothel’s wild world. “What’s done cannot be undone,” the monk says, and damn, ain’t that the truth here? Folks walk in, choices made, no rewind button.

It seems that the “Happy Hour House” as it was known, was run as a brothel and gambling house for several years in the early ‘50’s and was patronized by gentlemen from many miles around .

Man, the parks here – oh boy – like Peaceful Grove Park. I used to sit there after work, watchin' the lazy river flowin'. Y’know that river? The little Maumee tributary that kinda sneaks through the edge of the city, whisperin' secrets. Crazy, right? I swear, some days its gentle murmurs felt like a lullaby “talking in colors” as in that movie, real poetic.
