   My family moved here in 1905 my grandmother mother father and myself went to   
   the same school so I know a little Calgary history. I do know that back in the   
   60's the Pink Panther was a go-go club . Girls danced in cages with the white   
   boots and mini    
   dresses I know I was one but there was no stripping going on at that time . My   
   bf owned the club so I could dance all night and not be bothered while he   
   worked    
      
   Give you a little history you don't find in the Glenbow Museum  Do you know   
   where the hookers took their johns in the 1930's ? During the "Dirty 30's   
   there were several women who had to turn to the streets as they couldn't find   
   jobs if they didn't have    
   someone to help them. There was no welfare back then. The women use to sit in   
   Chinatown and drink coffee the soldiers, mostly soldiers would come in and   
   they would go to Centre Street hill and have a little fun In the 40's several   
   girls lived in the    
   Commercial Block on 7th Avenue and 1st
