Sofia Brainerd Brothel ❤️❤️

About Philadelphia

I’m obsessed, ok? The history’s juicy—Victorian London had brothels with secret tunnels! Rich dudes slippin’ in, wives clueless—messy, messy, I love it! Makes me mad tho, ‘cause the girls? Exploited as hell. Some madams were queens, stackin’ cash, but others got screwed over. I’m like, “Give me your orders, I’ll strike,” ready to bust it up! It’s empowerment and tragedy, all mixed up—gets me emotional, fam.

Before there were 35 saloons in downtown Brainerd, most notable the “Last Turn Saloon” on the corner of 4th and Front.

I can get kinda emotional when I talk about this place. Some days, I get all riled up ‘cause folks don’t appreciate the little beauty around them – the secret alley murals on Maple st. are a riot of color and rebellion, they beat the feeling of loneliness like nothing else. Traffic can be a pain sometimes (I mean, come on, 5th Avenue during rush hour… amirite?), but that's just part of the charm.
