Brothel in Las Vegas in the 1950s.
I assume it was legal back then? I wonder why its not legal in the city of Las Vegas, but throughout most of the state it is?
This is a brothel in the 1960s in Paris.
Peep show and porn theaters in the 1970s and 80s.
Sex workers in Australia in 1988.
This is pretty convenient. Each girl hangs out right outside of her little sex area.

They only built 1200 GT500 KRs and that guy had two of them used.
Unusual I'd say.

1907
From the Times-Picayune
The 1916 visit was Houdini's second to New Orleans. Eight years earlier, on Nov. 17, 1907, the showman rode in an automobile to the foot of Canal Street, then boarded a steamship anchored in the Mississippi River. His hands were bound behind his back with handcuffs and a heavy chain, and his feet were shackled together. Then he plopped into the river.
A crowd of thousands stood in the pouring rain to watch as Houdini sank below the surface, according to a story in The Daily Picayune. The spectators grew silent as the seconds ticked by.
But they didn't have long to wait. After 30 seconds, a single hand shot out of the water. "Houdini's head next appeared, and shaking the water from the long, curly hair, the handcuff king threw the irons into the boat and swam with sweeping strokes toward a little floating platform which was moored to the wharf."
Perhaps his experience in the river in 1907 was part of the reason Houdini chose to perform on land in his return trip. "That's an awful river, the worst I have ever been in," the escape artist said in an interview after the stunt.
"Ugh! But it was cold," he continued. "And the further down I went the colder and darker it became. I said to myself then, 'If the trick doesn't work, I'm done for this time,' and even while I was working hurriedly and with all my skill to get the chains off, I felt the strong current forcing me I don't know where."
Houdini had been so fearful of the river, he told the paper, that he had written his will the night before. "I'll get in the water someday, my trick will fail, and then 'Good night!'" he said.

I assume they also change the sheets after each client.

Nice find! I think my favorite part is the several oil wells pumping away on the beach starting around the 6:25 mark. Not too many people think of California when oil is mentioned.
Best addition to this thread in a while.

THUMS Islands (Texaco, Humble, Union, Mobil, and Standard) in Long Beach. The production platforms are camouflaged to look like rock piles and light houses.
They had pump jacks in downtown Hunington Beach and stretching towards Sunset Beach along PCH about 15 or 20 years ago. Can't say for sure if they're still there.
