Amsterdam Massage Parlors: “I am nothing and I do nothing”: On the Untranslated Nescio
We see the house Nescio was born in — a traditional Amsterdam home with a Baroque gable opposite the Tushinsky art deco movie palace and now housing an Asian massage parlor downstairs. Then we press into the less touristy rings of hell, to use Camuss analogy for Amsterdams canals. These streets are darker and less populated.

Maurits read 40,000 letters and telegrams from the companys archive in The Hague and discovered that Gronloh was often ill, suffering from what a doctor in 1900 diagnosed as nerveuze prikkelbaarheid, an outdated phrase roughly equivalent to the neurasthenia of Victorian English.

Amsterdam Massage Parlors: Amsterdam’s red-light district: ripe for export?
Amsterdam’s red-light district has attracted many foreign visitors to the city over the centuries. While the authorities in the Dutch capital are clamping down on prostitution, other cities around the world are debating whether to create a prostitution zone along Dutch lines. Could Amsterdam’s red-light district become a successful export product?
…
Calling card While enthusiasm for an Amsterdam-style red-light district is on the increase abroad, the Dutch capital is clamping down on prostitution. Executive Councillor Lodewijk Asscher wants to turn the red-light district into Amsterdam’s calling card, a place where human trafficking and anti-social behaviour are a thing of the past. Around 100 of the district’s 500 prostitutes’ windows have already been closed and there are plans to shut down another 120. Instead of displaying scantily clad hookers, the windows now look in on the studios of young fashion designers and even an independent radio station.
Amsterdam’s red-light clean-up operation is controversial. Mariska Majoor of the city’s Prostitution Information Centre is one of those opposed to i …

… Happy Clappy’ in Amsterdam—or Keeping Cool in The Face of Multiple Crises
Sex in schools, breakfast on a stick, erotic massage parlors—something’s very wrong in our communities.
…
To top it off, I now hear that Eagle Rock is becoming the next Amsterdam, which would save vacation expenses if I were a college kid on spring break, but is no help at all when trying to raise young ones.
…
But then I started thinking of the times my kids and I have walked out our front door to find teenagers on our curb smoking their “medicine” or spray-painting their “art.” How much more Amsterdam can I expose my kids to? (Here my jig turned more into a dirge. It’s hard to be happy clappy to a dirge.)
