I wouldn't. But one of my uncle's used to get glassy eyed when he would utter, "around the world at the May's rooms...."

Never paid for it myself.  At least not by the hour or trick.

So what you are saying is that some of the young professionals back in the day used to rub in the right way?

I worked in a business downtown where there was occasional contact with some of the ladies - all extremely NON physical.   Some were nice girls, they just had a different career path than would be considered mainstream. 


Very close - like next door - was Logan's Concessions where you could get really good theater popcorn and fountain drinks - best mix in town, then or now or any time in between!!

The building is gone - it is a parking lot now.  That one little building at east of parking used to be part of it IIRC.
