gung-ho primitive upset about experiences in Saigon whorehouse

[franksolich]

Damn, the memory messed up.

It's Phenix City, Alabama.

Phenix City was notorious during the 1940s and 1950s as being a haven for organized crime, prostitution, and gambling, the result of its proximity to the United States Army training center at Fort Benning, Georgia. The leaders of the crime syndicate in Phenix City were Jimmie Matthews and Hoyt Sheppard. Albert Patterson, from Phenix City, was elected to become attorney general of Alabama, but was brutally shot down outside his office on 14th Street. As a result, the city had a negative reputation, and many people still associate this legacy with Phenix City. The Tragedy and the Triumph of Phenix City, Alabama by Margaret Ann Barnes chronicles these events, which led to the small town to be known as "Sin City, USA". The bordertown was the subject of an acclaimed film, The Phenix City Story, made in 1955.

In 1955, it won the All-America City Award from the National Municipal League.

It must've cleaned up its act, I guess.

I guess visiting a Saigon whorehouse is a lot like fishing, you may or may not catch something.

Revised: I guess visiting a Saigon whorehouse is a lot like fishing, you're bound to have fun and you might catch something.

And all the problems moved across the river to Victory Drive, Columbus, GA (Better known as VD Drive amongst Soldiers).
