You can find most anything on the interweb. Google Pam's Purple Door. You can even rent a room there if you want to stay..... I had completely forgotten the raid in 1980. That was when we went, apparently not long after the raid.
X-rated old west?

I have been to Deadwood but I didn't visit the place with the purple door... I stopped by the cemetery to speak to old friends from a past life:

La Grange Texas had one I believe. When we lived in The Colony Texas, there was a purple house, rumored to be a place of respite for the 'ladies.'
Speaking of this, a 'while ago' when I was studying to be in broadcasting the college I was attending had a prostitute come and speak to our class along with the criminal justice department students and I remember her explaining that she had been part of a traveling group that moved from low rent motel to low rent motel and the way you could tell they were in residence is the sign on the marque out front would have spelling errors on it.

Must have been the 'in' thing. I used to live in Grand Island, NE and there was a big dust up there at the time. A guy who was big into truck stop ownership was from there and apparently he visited a certain motel for some action. Long story short, the woman who came to his door was his daughter. She was a big party animal and apparently made some extra money that way. The motel was a pretty nice one, but as you said, Blume, when the sign had misspelled words the 'ladies' were available. Not going to mention any names, he was pretty well known in the truck stop world.
As bad as the guy who was at a stag party and was shocked when the stripper was his daughter. That was an awkward moment for sure....
I had several jobs in New Orleans a way back when. Near downtown was a place called "The Rising Sun" (that the song is named after). In the early mid 1800's it was a whore house that had gambling, a bar and rooms to rent. Now it is just a restaurant. But I worked at a couple of very old sugar mills located in the woods that had a few very old coon-asses and they told me quite a few stories about the old days there.

I still love the smell of stale beer and cheap perfume..
Coors and hoo-ers! A shot of Kessler's and a Coors Banquet cuts the dust and the "ladies" look better after a few!
YES the bible I believe indicates she was possessed by the devil. She was said to also be violent at times.

Back in my college days I was a member of the Photography Club. We had monthly meetings but few showed up.
Then it was announced that we were having a session of "figure modelling", to go over the techniques involved. That night, everybody showed up. A pretty young girl disrobed completely and did a series of poses. The President of the club was very active in his photo shoot, snapping from different angles and getting up verrry close.
We later learned that he didn't have any film in his camera.

I tried a Coors and found it tasted horrible. I was then told it was a taste one has to get used to. If one has to get used to the taste, then it must not be very good in the first place! Then again, I realize everyone has different tastes...
"drifting ... tumbling threads...."
I was an avid photographer back in high school, early 70's, and when taking pictures others were always saying, "you don't have any film in that camera." Now they would be right..... I was getting ready to make a video yesterday of a test I'm doing trying to safely make blasting caps, (delete that part from your memory) and discover one of my video cameras the battery was low and the other one the memory card was almost full.... seems you can't get away from technical problems no matter what.
As for Coors... back in 74 a friend and I got in his Transam and drove to Fort Worth and loaded it up with cases of Coors and brought it all back .... I also did not like the taste.
We should have sued Burt Reynolds.....

It's more expensive! Stay out of there.There used to be a place in Deadwood called Pam's Purple Door. Pretty notorius and left alone by the police. My friend and I decided to go there to see what it was like to pay for it. It was shut down a few days before we got there. This was in 1980, I think.

You can place the blame for that on the United States Air Force and parents with political pull. Stead AFB just out of Reno and Nellis in Las Vegas. Up at Indian Springs AFB there id a tiny hamlet called Lathrop Wells. There you can find an establishment tiled The Shamrock. I'll leave it to your imagination as to what happens there. It's my understanding that when the eagle flies at Springs there's a long line outside the door and a long wait.

I have been married twice and didn't know I had married Mary Madeline. Both of them, at various times, fit that description.
