Chetchikan 市中心有一條 Creek Street,曾經是單身漢趨之若鶩的溫柔鄉。
"Where both men and salmon came upstream to spawn" - 「這裡是男人和鮭魚為了排精逆水而上的地方」!
Chetchikan 表面禁娼,有法律規定凡超過兩個女人共住一間房子會被標籤為娼妓,屬於非法活動。兩個以下的女人在自己家內招呼「男朋友」卻是可容忍的社交行為。
根據一個 1920 年的戶口登記紀錄,Creek Street 紅燈區當時有 31 個「女性住宿者」(Female Boarders) 分別住在 21 間房子裡。
這應該是歷史上最早的一樓一鳳!
Creek Street 紅燈區後面有一條 "Married Man's Trail" (已婚男人徑),是衛道之士為「正人君子」而設的行人道,至今依然存在。

On an Alaska cruise?
Yes Meena I was in an Alaska cruise. If you make mayor one day I suppose you won't allow a crazy bylaw like the "2 Female Boarders" rule passes, would you? : )
Now I know what you mean by 2 female boarders rule you posted in WeChat :-)
"Where both men and salmon came upstream to spawn" - 这句广告词令人过目不忘![微笑]
