Giving Thanks to the Ladies

I was not aware of the fire that destroyed Seattle back in 1889 until today.

The only person with enough funds to lend to the city father's for the rebuilding was a madame who ran a popular brothel.


I have been to three other great cities where fire destroyed the town: London, Chicago, and San Francisco, but this rebuilding story is the one I'm most likely to remember.
