And somewhere in Tainan County, Jackson Broder cries a private, solemn tear.
From Yahoo:
Authorities in central Taiwan have turned off the red light at the county’s last legal brothel after the death of its pimp aged 87, newspapers said on Friday.
Ai-Le was the last legal brothel in Nantou county in central Taiwan, and police revoked its permit because the 48-year-old business could not be transferred, the Liberty Times reported.
Prostitution has been illegal in Taiwan since 1997, and licensing of new brothels stopped in 1974, but isolated illegal brothels can be found all over the island. Brothels licensed prior to 1974 were allowed to keep operating.

I will visit the Golden Jaguar at least once in my life. Mark my words. I dare to dream.
