Hannah Mercer Island Brothel ❤️

About Phoenix

But, real talk, some brothels got quirks. Heard bout one in Amsterdam with a parrot that cusses in Dutch! Freakin’ hilarious! Imagine that – “Polly wants a john!” Ha! Makes me happy thinkin’ bout weird lil details like that. Oh, and get this – in 1800s Paris, brothels had secret rooms for priests. Hypocrites sneakin’ in, prayin’ then playin’! Surprised me, man – holy rollers gettin’ dirty? Wild!

East Mercer feels more raw; it got scars and stories, kinda like me before I figured out my path. And hey, there’s a bit of mysterious allure to places like Wayzata and 136th Ave SE—you never know what lurks behind the neat facades.
