Infamous "Creek Street" in Ketchikan has a saying: "Where the fish and the fisherman go up the creek to spawn." This was the part of town where prominent business men would sneak through the back alleys while fishermen, trappers, miners and lonely men of all kinds would enter through the front doors of the houses of "ill repute". During Prohibition row boats delivered booze through trap doors. Prostitution was legal until 1954 in Ketchikan!
