Former Chicagoan, and I lived in the old First Ward (back in 1910, now different) and the northernmost area of the Levee, pre 1890. I’m requesting a story set in 1908, when your uncle would have been 18 (for Literotica rules), where he attends an infamous First Ward Ball (bribery, debauchery& corruption). Since in 1909, reformers got the ball shut down. That should give you an idea where to start.
The First Ward Ball deserves and entire Novel to itself, or an entire Movie! That is one of my favorite stories of all American History, no kidding! I delved into the era when I was working on a play about the First Ward in 1909-1910. Just the final parade of the participants, Two Alderman arm in arm with the Two finest Brothel Owners in the City leading a procession of 5,000 drunken criminals, pimps, cadets, prostitutes, Johns, socialites and debauchees . . . wow. Uncle Clyde is me using just the tip of the iceberg of the amazing world of The First Ward.
If I was to write a series for the First Ward Ball, good lord. The mind boggles....
To Anonymous WTF --Yeah, you ain't wrong. But I did put in a disclaimer. Knowing as much as I did about the time, I couldn't just leave it be. Those women were put through hell, and back then they had no options. As much as I love sex, The sex trade can be a vile place, and it needs legal regulations.
