Hrmmmm... left over from a "red light district?"
HAHA! kyricom...you're funny!
Well... that's where the term originated. The "entertaining ladies" often set up their houses near the trainyards (not the best areas in town) and when the trains stopped the brakemen would leave their red lanterns on the porches so the engineers knew not to leave because there were still people being "entertained." So you had a whole series of houses with these red lanterns on the porches, so people knew where the "red light district" was.
Very interesting information! I had heard of red light districts but didn't know that they were related to the railroad. This make my lantern much more of a conversation piece!
LMAO!!! AUTHOR HOSTS A REDLIGHT DISTRICT? LOL hehehehe
Howdie stranger!
