Lucky the report was that you had a whorehouse and not that you had a drug dealing operation--then they might have burst in wearing full SWAT regalia, guns drawn. “Turns out he had the right address but wrong street.”

He went to his car, saw our side staircase and came back in. He asked if we had a different business upstairs. We were puzzled and said no. He asked if there were beds upstairs and we said yes there were three and would he like to see them? He then said he was with HPD Vice Squad and had received a report that we had a whore house upstairs. I pointed to our 58 year old bookkeeper (and goodfriend) and said "do you really think anyone would pay to sleep with her?!" Turns out he had the right address but wrong street. I guess he thought we always asked our clients, would you like a happy ending with that $10,000 dining table?

It is more perverse than I imagined, "Harold"! Seriously, I wonder if this is part of the city's current drive to shut down SOBs--the toll since December (by my count) are two topless bars, one hot sheets motel, and now one brothel. (Unfortunately, I can't see the article to get more details.) Oh my God! It is more perverse than I imagined, “Harold”!

I can't count the number of businesses that has tried to make a go of it there and failed. I'm sure business was great, though. Just a really bad location to try to keep it under wraps.
