Subject: RE: Sailortown? (origin of term)
Kiel, Germany is quite the sailortown, but up-to-date.

The city built apartment building(s) for the professionals; they have set fees, and pay rent to the city.
Some strip and pole dance spots there, but all soft porn. The girls all try to get the marks to buy that fake champagne (almost as expensive as in N. O.). I saw less drunkenness than in Amsterdam.

No display windows like Amsterdam (these are set to disappear as the area is to be remodeled). The Amsterdam girls also have fees set by the city.
Much less drunkenness than I saw in Amsterdam.

We would do well to tax and control prostitution, cleaner, safer, and income for the city.
