According to Webster's, it was first used in 1591: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/streetwalker

I remember this from the first edition Dungeon Masters Guide:

‘C’ stroll workers still exist on 15 Ave though definitely not to the extent as it was in the early 2000s.

Most of the other strolls are defunct now.

I used to live in Eau Claire in my 20s around 2005ish timeframe. They were there. I once walked home drunk and bummed a smoke off one.

Which made for good times when I came home blottoed to my girlfriend at 2am smoking. Which I don’t do, and explained a few nice ladies on 3rd Ave gave it to me.

Jar-E has developed a corsi system for professional knobgobblers.

That’s what my mom used to call them.

No idea on planned dates but there is still a lot of construction to go.

There's also one in Banff.

I think the food is terrible but my daughter likes it so...

I laughed at one tweet I saw that said they're finally making way for a new spaghetti factory.

Apparently their is a new physical media store in Calgary that just opened in the N.W, which has lots of hard to find movie titles and for a reasonable price. Not in town so haven't checked it out yet but here is the website https://roughcutvideo.ca/

Maybe it's the resurgence of Barry's Books & Records

It looks like Smuggler's has finally re-opened. Or at least I hope it is because I just made a reservation there.

Yes, it’s open. I would like to read your feed back after you go.
