Ya, I've been down that street. And the then wife was with me. She wanted to see the area, kept asking if there was more to see, from the outside though.
I have to laugh when I think of the red light district there. One time I was there with another college buddy on a trip from France where we were studying. We used to playact for each other's amusement. We sat in a cafe across the street and in full view of a public outdoor condom dispenser at the entrance to a red light street. We would each go out and play stupid blonde foreigner trying to buy a pack of cigarettes from the machine. It was hilarious watching the other do this from our cafe table.
