Tag Archives: Guy Town

In Matamoras and other Mexican border towns, the legal bordello is called "Boy’s Town." In Austin, beginning about a hundred and thirty years ago and extending into the teens of the 20th century when it was outlawed, the red light district was called "Guy Town." The funny part is that its remains were only finally explored by private archeologists a few years ago, right before Austin built its new downtown city hall, more or less on the same spot. So you could say that today’s elected whores are approriately located.
