About Phoenix

Little known fact – back in the 1800s, whores in Paris ran secret gambling dens. Kept the cops fat with bribes, lived like queens til the guillotine got jealous. Ruby’d fit right in, I reckon. She’d wink at ya, say somethin’ filthy, then pick yer pocket while yer blushin’. Made me happy, that hustle – takes balls, ya know? Not some prissy “oh I’m above it” bullshit.

Some have moved farther out for their home base; the Motel 6 at & Stark (in Gresham) has been fairly popular since it opened. One popular hangout is the lounge at the Chinese Village .

Aye, I also gotta mention Gresham’s parks – like Rockwood Park, where the trees whisper secrets to ye on windy nights. Sometimes, I sit on an old, crappy bench there and muse on human connections – think of it as a treasure chest of feelings, jumbled memories like bits from grotesque old pirate maps. Wow, life here is like a merry-go-round, blowin’ me mind with every turn. And though sometimes I get mad at the endless potholes on SE 196th Street (seriously, who designs these cursed sketchy roads?!), the city’s quirks make it ever so delightfully imperfect.
