This walking tour takes you on a journey through the shocking true stories of scandal and vice that shaped Austin throughout the last 200 years. In the early days of Austin, this was a wild and untamed place. The ladies of the night weaved their way through the seedy underbelly of Austin's red light district. They were tough, resourceful women, surviving in a man's world by any means necessary. On the outskirts of town the cattlemen rode in, their power and wealth making them the kings of Austin. They spent their money freely, and the saloons, gambling dens, and brothels were more than happy to oblige. Austin’s politicians bribed and bartered, making deals in the shadows and lining their pockets. Quack doctors preyed on the fears of the sick. As the city grew, so did our scandal. While the legislative session is in, our city swarms with politicians wheeling and dealing, and we have the perpetual scandal to prove it. You won't hear these stories anywhere else.
