Levee

Levee

The Levee was a notorious red light district in the south of Chicago, which lasted from 1890 to the 1930s. She was in the Second Ward district, including blocks Cermak Road and Michigan Avenue, between Harrison and Polk, and Dearborn and Clark Avenue. The entertainment district of Chicago was initially located in the inner city in the First District. After the Great Fire of Chicago in 1871, however, it moved to the south of the city. Already before 1890 was the area designated as Customs House Levee area for players and pimp and belonged to the most violent districts of Chicago. The city councilors "Hinky Dink" Michael Kenna and "Bathhouse" John Coughlin ensured by corruption and cooperation with the Chicago outfit for a rapid rise of the city quarter. Both founded an organization in 1893, which established Spielalons and Bordelle in the Levee. Die Levee war ein berüchtigter Rotlichtbezirk im Süden von Chicago, der etwa von 1890 bis in die 1930er Jahre bestand. Sie befand sich im Second Ward Distrikt und umfasste die Häuserblocks Cermak Road und Michigan Avenue, zwischen Harrison und Polk, sowie Dearborn und Clark Avenue. Das Vergnügungsviertel Chicagos hatte zunächst in der Innenstadt im Ersten Bezirk gelegen. Nach dem Großer Brand von Chicago von 1871 verlagerte es sich jedoch in den Süden der Stadt. Bereits vor 1890 wurde die als Customs House Levee bezeichnete Gegend Sammelpunkt für Spieler und Zuhälter und gehörte zu den gewalttätigsten Bezirken Chicagos. Die Stadtverordneten „Hinky Dink“ Michael Kenna und „Bathhouse“ John Coughlin sorgten durch Korruption und Kooperation mit dem Chicago Outfit für einen rasanten Aufstieg des Stadtviertels. Beide gründeten 1893 eine Organisation, welche Spielsalons und Bordelle in der Levee etablierte.
