What a cute little town. I love the photos (you are probably sick of hearing that) it's just that you captured some shots I've never seen before. I have really loved seeing all your Alaskan photos. Great page.
Every night was party-time on Creek Street. Miners, fishermen, loggers and townspeople gathered to carouse, drink and visit the clapboard bordellos built along the boardwalk. Music floated out over the water and lights glowed from the windows, while the girls paraded, titillating and semi-nude, behind lace curtains.
Although drinking was against the law (no one paid much attention to this) prostitution was legal, and the "sporting women" of the red light area of Creek Street, registered their businesses with the city police. Creek Street was alive and roared through the '20s, '30s '40s and into the 50's.
