About Chicago

Here’s a mad fact – back in Victorian days, some brothels had secret tunnels! Yeah, for posh toffs to sneak out if the coppers raided. Clever, eh? Gets me laughin’ thinkin’ of ‘em scramblin’ like rats! But it ain’t all chuckles – saw a lass once, eyes empty, and it gutted me. “There’s a poetry in his hate,” like Jesse says in the movie, and I reckon there’s a grim rhyme in them places too – beauty and rot all mashed up.

True Green Cities/Celebrating Ten+ Years: A Boarding House and a Brothel

Kate finds herself living a nightmare life of prostitution in the city's most famous brothel, surrounded by violence, drugs and a daily fight for survival.

Now, let me break it down for ya. The neighborhoods? Oh man, you gotta check out Westview. It's kinda gritty and real – like "25th Hour," all raw and honest, brother! Got streets like Roosevelt Ave that run close to the Sycamore River. Yeah, the river flows right through town, addin’ that smooth vibe to every sunset. It's as if nature and the city share a secret pact, brother – like life, sometimes hard and sometimes beautiful.
