Ivy Center Brothel ❤️

About San Jose

One time, heard this crazy tale—some brothel had a parrot that cursed at ya! Freakin’ hilarious—squawkin’ “Pay up, jackass!” while dudes fumbled coins. Wish I’d seen that! Anyway, it’s a messy world, brothel life—dirty sheets, dirtier deals. Kinda like Springfield, but with less donuts—sad! “Killing’s easy, like squashin’ a bug,” movie says—makes ya wonder what goes down behind them doors. Prolly nothin’ THAT wild, but still—yikes!

MUSEUM ADMISSION

My fave neighborhood? The quirky Kotter Heights. Man, it’s a blast! Every single alley’s got its own vibe – graffiti, street art, and an unsuspected vibe of resilience against urban chaos. There’s a dingy third-hand bookstore on 5th & Ledger. Those places always make me think "Remember, pal, we must keep runnin' back to find forgotten truths" like in Memento… or somethin’ like that. It hit me in a counseling session once: each person’s a treasure chest of memories, lost and found, like scattered puzzle pieces on our sidewalks.
