The puritans were fun! I knew a woman who worked at a costume shop that 
was aimed at strippers. Her specialty was merkins. In the Boston Combat 
Zone full nudity was illegal but simulation was not. fwiw, the owner of 
the business was a trannie. For better or worse that's all gone now.

The Zone wasn't a destination for me but I traversed it on my way to 
Chinatown for a mooncake fix. I miss that a bit. Where else can you see 
wind cured chickens hanging in shop windows along with less easily 
identified treats?
