Book Description
Chicago, 1988. I was 52 years old, 5'4" tall, and 130 pounds, with red hair and a 36DDD bust, enjoying dramatic Lake Michigan and skyline views from my 21st-floor apartment in the landmark Lake Point Towers building. I had never felt more alive. I was Chicago's reigning madam, providing $400 an hour call girls to Chicago's business owners, traders, lawyers, judges, politicians, mobsters, pro athletes, and Hollywood stars at addresses all over Chicago's downtown and Gold Coast. Vice was on their way up--the doorman had tipped me off. I started thinking back on my life, where I came from, and how I ever got to where I was now. I began life the youngest of nine on a primitive farm in the backwoods of Tennessee. Seeking to make my own way in the world I would meet and marry a man from Cicero, Illinois. Soon I was pregnant eight times in eight years, malnourished, and beaten--once nearly to death. That’s when I left. When I recovered and returned for my five kids, I discovered they'd been put in a brutal orphanage. It took me years to get them back. God knows why I got into this business. It was to save my kids. But I chose to stay. I enjoyed it, I was good at it, and I’d still do it today if I could... From my earliest days as a hanky-panky entrepreneur in the 1960s--renting rooms by the hour at the Addison Motel--others took notice. Playboy, Penthouse, the Sybaris. My adventures took me to all over the Western Suburbs, to Atlanta, Savannah, and the Oak Brook Polo Fields, and eventually to the nightclubs, bars, yachts, and penthouses of Chicago’s Gold Coast. I’d work in this business until 2002 when the FBI busted me and I served 17 months in federal prison. Now I’m retired, living in Florida, and spending my days like many seniors here, walking, playing with my grandchildren, going to church. Let me take you back to my days of juggling three sugar daddies, living and breathing sex, providing the city’s elite with beautiful women, having loads of cash and tons of fun, and experiencing the joys and heartaches of a life on the edge, lived to its fullest.

Chicago's Gold Coast
Author: Wilbert Jones
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 0738591777
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
What was once described as an undesirable swampland has been transformed into one of the most beautiful and wealthiest neighborhoods in America. Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, developed in the late 1800s, was first called the Astor Street District. It was named after one of the first multimillionaires in the United States, John Jacob Astor--even though Astor never lived in Chicago. In 1885, Astor Street District's first mansion was built. Potter Palmer, a dry goods merchant and owner of the Palmer House Hotel, built his palatial, castle-like residence on the corner of Lake Shore Drive and Banks Street; inside the Palmer mansion were 42 lavishly furnished rooms, which required 26 servants to maintain. Many wealthy Chicagoans followed Palmer's lead and built mansions in the neighborhood. Several homes took up an entire city block and, as time progressed, the name Gold Coast was adopted. On January 30, 1978, the entire Gold Coast district was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Join authors Wilbert Jones, Maureen V. O'Brien, and Kathleen Willis Morton, longtime residents of the Gold Coast, on an engrossing journey through the neighborhood's history. Includes archival images along with the more contemporary images of photographer Bob Dowey.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1874 edition. Excerpt: ... each promenade, drums and horns announce the approach of the queens; either all males must bury their faces in the sand, or get out of sight, or ere long off will roll their heads, knives being first thrust through their cheeks and tongue to prevent them from "cursing the king"--a fearful offence, much dreaded by his Majesty! Hence no doubt his extreme care to rule his subjects with justice and much mercy. THE HOUSSAS. If I here refer to the Houssas it is not because they are connected with the tribes on the Gold Coast. They have indeed no such connection, their country being far inland, situated to the north-east of the Kong Mountains, and being traversed by the great river Quorrah or Niger. In order to be particular, I note that their territory extends from latitude li to 149 1ST., and from longitude 4 to 11 E.; and I may observe that only the circumstance of this tribe having at the present time a measure of prominence in connection with operations taking place on the Gold Coast induced me to notice them. The historians date as far back as Leo Africanus the people so-called having, according to him, formed a part of the kingdom of Guber, one of the fifteen states into which he divided the whole of interior Africa. They have been described by recent writers as "active, intelligent, and industrious," having a peculiarly open and noble countenance, prominent noses, and expressive black eyes. And it has been further said of them that "if the complexion were white instead of black, they would have been nothing unlike the European." They disiigure their faces by creating deep scars in their cheeks, and hence used to be known among the men of West India regiments as "cut faces." In the old days of slavery many of these " cut faces" were...
