Emily Pryor Brothel ❤️

About Los Angeles

So, brothels—whorehouses, right? Been around forever, legit sneaky history too! Oldest gig, they say, back to Sumerians—priestesses bangin’ for gods, wild huh? Imagine that, sacred booty calls! Makes me chuckle, lil’ green giggle. But real talk—met this dude once, swore brothel saved him. Lost wife, sad sack, then found comfort… paid comfort, sure, but still. Happy, he was, for a bit—surprised me, that did!

1. Early Childhood (1940-1946)

Richard Pryor is raised in a brothel where his grandmother is the madam: Part 1. The legendary comedian grew up in Peoria, Illinois.

The downtown area—oh boy—it’s like one big happy mess. There's the old S. Monroe Ave., where couples share whispers and street corners listen. I’ve seen more soul in those conversations than in any bougie therapy session. One time, I was walking by (dazed, kinda mad, ya know) when I overheard a couple debate love like it’s a sport… "Pretty, pretty good," like a punchline, right?
