The Levee, Chicago
http://dbpedia.org/resource/The_Levee,_Chicago an entity of type: Thing
Die Levee (englisch Flussdeich) war ein berüchtigter Rotlichtbezirk im Süden von Chicago, der etwa von 1890 bis in die 1930er Jahre bestand. Er befand sich im Second Ward Distrikt (Near South Side) und umfasste die Häuserblocks Cermak Road und Michigan Avenue, zwischen Harrison und Polk, sowie Dearborn und Clark Avenue. Es handelte sich dabei um vier Blocks im südlichen Loop-Distrikt, im Kern zwischen 18th und 22th Street. Ursprünglich war die Levee lediglich ein besonders „verkommener“ Teil der State Street. Die Levee wird als die Keimzelle des organisierten Verbrechens in Chicago angesehen.

The Levee District was the red-light district of Chicago from the 1880s until 1912, when police raids shut it down. The district, like many frontier town red-light districts, got its name from its proximity to wharves in the city. The Levee district encompassed four blocks in Chicago's South Loop area, between 18th and 22nd streets. It was home to many brothels, saloons, dance halls, and the famed Everleigh Club. Prostitution boomed in the Levee District, and it was not until the Chicago Vice Commission submitted a report on the city's vice districts that it was shut down.
