To get a woman's perspective, I asked a friend of mine if she would ask her grandmother what she remembered of Peggy. (Her Grandma was a God-fearing Southern Baptist, so I figured I could just about guess what she would say, but I was surprised by her response, which I'll paraphrase below:
"When I was a young married woman, I worked part-time at a drug store on Broad Street. On Sundays we worked only half a day and then we would close the store around 2:00. That was when the Pharmacist would ask me to drive him out to Peggy's to deliver all the perscriptions needed over there. I would wait in the car, and the Pharmacist would go in and make the deliveries. Years later my husband installed some flooring in Peggy's house. He reported to me that the place was clean and well kept. I believe that men, (except for my husband) need that kind of place from time to time, and when they do, it's better to have a safe clean place to go. If my husband were that kind of man, I'd rather he go someplace like Peggy's than anywhere else."
Peggy's was a nationally known house of prostitution in Rome, GA from the late 40's through the early 70's. This site is devoted to gathering history about the house and it's famous Madam.
