Brothel Review and Red-Light Districts

The time when the world economy took it's first heavy dip was called the time of the Great Depression. It lasted several years and inflation was rampant. As money was not available people started to trade merchandise and services rather than to purchase them for Dollars. Believe it or not, but during this time sexual services from prostitutes inside brothels had to be paid by chicken as they were producing eggs and could be used as a source of meat.
One of the most famous brothels in the US derived it's name from this circumstance: the Chicken Ranch in La Grange Texas. It was an illegal brothel that operated from 1805 until 1973, but was tolerated and regulated by local sheriffs. Memorabilia about the Chicken Ranch Texas brothel are frequently traded on eBay.
Today there are no more brothels in Texas. Horny Texan guys usually need to saddle their horses for a long journey to brothels in Mexico or Nevada.
