Red light district, revisited. Saturday
Lots of us know that downtown Denver’s history is a colorfully Western one, and that our gun-slingin’ vigilantes are prominent in stories of days of yore.
We also know that the new city was riddled with over 1,100 prostitutes, but the topic always seems to be breezed over by city tour guides and history buffs.
Fortunately, for those with a more curious instinct, Cheryl Siebert Waite has uncovered a lot more information about Denver’s ordinances regarding the world’s oldest profession, and will be presenting her discoveries on Denver’s “Disorderly Women” this Saturday at the Blair-Caldwell Library.
What: “Denver’s Disorderly Women”
Where: Blair-Caldwell Library, 2401 Welton Street, Third Floor, 2 p.m.
Cost: Free (donations welcome)
