A California morning - gray, gloomy, deeply chilly, but I GET THE WHOLE DAY TO WORK!!!!
Laundry and tea. Amazing how much better everything looks when one has had enough sleep.
Adventures in Research, Continued: Trolling around online I found reference to an 1883 publication entitled "Mysteries and Miseries of America's Great Cities" (I was looking for whorehouses in Washington DC); this covers DC, NYC, NOLA, Salt Lake (!!!), and a couple of others, "With Numerous Engravings." ABEbooks.com => lo and behold, somebody does PoD versions of it for a reasonable amount of money. It's a little later than the period I'm writing about, but so far as I've read, contains interesting facts (and, I suspect, more than a little fiction) and an astonishing amount of moralizing. Obligatory, I suppose, if one is writing about drugs and floozies in 1883.
