KAG asks if Elliot Spitzer was local:
Where would he have gone for his “needs?” Magnolia Avenue? One of the “spas” on Alcoa Highway? Do “high end” call girl services exist in the greater Knoxville metropolitan area?
Well, they shut down the spa on Alcoa highway. I always got a kick out of those when I traveled a lot for business. I’d get in from a late flight at the airport, start the drive home, look over and see that the spas were open. At 2:00 in the morning. And I’d laugh. Rumor was, authorities looked the other way even though they knew what was happening there. Then something happened and they got shut down.
Then, I recall in college, a friend of mine telling me that there was a brothel in The Fort. No idea if that was true or not.
But I don’t think either of those qualified as “high end”.

A brothel in The Fort??
Don’t know about that, but I was certainly familiar with a couple of Ho’s Houses.

Are there people in Knoxville that can spend $1,000 per visit? If there are enough of them to support it, there’s at least one ‘high end’ ring.
Simple economics.

Here’s yer local Knoxville craigslist ads for that stuff. You’ve got maybe one hundredth of what’s available out here in the San Francisco Bay Area, where enforcement is, shall we say, lax.

Not high end (looks like $160 – $200 per hour).
