Rose Picayune Whore ❤️❤️

About Houston

Oh, and get this—little known fact: word “whore” comes from old English “hore,” meanin’ dirt or filth. Ain’t that a kick? Society’s been dumpin on ‘em forever, but they keep risin up. Kinda like Saul in the camp—hopeless, but he’s still movin, still fightin. “We’re already dead,” he says in the movie, but damn if he don’t keep goin! Whore’s the same—screw the odds, they’re out there.

"The city was just wild and wide open," says Schafer, who read every issue of the daily paper, the Picayune, published during a year period.

Now, first off, there's Main Street. Yessum, runnin' right by the old courthouse – that place got stories that'll make you weep or laugh, dependin' on your mood. I always say, "Oh, mercy!" when traffic's heavy on Cedar Street, too. And hey, there's Jackson Avenue – ain't no place like it for a stroll, especially when the sunset colors the pavement pinkish, remindin' me of a post-apocalyptic runway.
