It is Hard to Believe That This is Going On So Close To Home

A little over a year ago I was shocked to hear that a brothel had been busted in my home town. I did not live in a big city. I lived in Albertville, Alabama. The details of that bust were sickening. There were two women working there, and they met with dozens of clients each day.

A few months after that I moved. I heard on the news that there were more brothel arrests, but at first I thought it was in connection with the same brothel. No, another one. Two separate brothels, just months apart.

Recently there has been another. This one on the same street that the company Mark works for is located on!! What is this world coming to when THREE brothels are found in the same town so close together?!?!

Sad, but true. About once a year in Centerpoint the cops go and shut down all the "massage parlors" which are nothing but cover businesses for brothels. Still, it always comes as a surprise when a small town like Albertville makes the news for stuff like this.

Right, you think about being relatively safe in an area like this. Guntersville had a "massage parlor" that got shut down a few years ago. I can not imagine why people would want to go to a brothel anyway. Can you imagine putting yourself at such a risk for just a few minutes of satisfaction?
