Galveston Red Light District Tour
Beschrijving
Stap binnen in Galvestons meest schandalige geheim, waar de politie stopte bij de brug en de zeden het eiland beheersten. Keer terug naar een tijdperk waar Galveston bekend stond als "America's Playground", een wijd open paradijs van zonde waar gokken, drank, bordelen en achterkamertjesdeals floreerden onder de bescherming van de georganiseerde misdaad. Zolang het geld vloeide, werden bezoekers behandeld als familie en aflaat kwam zonder gevolgen. Casino’s pulseerden door de nacht, en de Wallen gedijden achter ongemarkeerde deuren. Corruptie werd niet langer gefluisterd, werd verwacht. Dit was Galvestons eigen Vegas-droom, compleet met entertainers van wereldklasse zoals Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. en Dean Martin die op een steenworp afstand van prostitutie, afbetalingen en illegale genoegens optraden. Tijdens deze tour ontdek je de verhalen die ze probeerden te begraven, de plaatsen waar macht werd gekocht met gunsten en hoe Galveston een van de beruchtste Wallen in Amerika werd, allemaal verborgen in het volle zicht.
