Red-light District, Blix

The Red-light District is an area of Blix known for its high-density of sex workers. Although sex work is legal in all of the PDRD, sex workers unions have organized to have specific areas across the nation designated "Red-light districts" so that their safety and visibility can be assured. The areas are monitored by sex-positive social workers and specially-trained safety interventionists. The red-light is centered on Blix Central and Soleil, but stretches along Blix Central from de Beauvoir to The Old Zoo Road, which is nearly the entire length of Blix Central's Greater Appalachionic route. The district tends to spread horizontally westwards to include parts of Meiji St. (but historically went as far west as The Cosmopolitan), and eastwards towards parts of La Pigale, but this street has quickly gentrified into a mainstream party scene (historically as far east as Nicholas Grey Ave., then Columbus Ave.). Historically, the district was actually anchored by Quay Way, with sailors often coming directly down from the Quay into the district and would walk over to La Rambla for a bite either before or after their night on the Quay Way. While parts of the Quay Way continue to be part of the red-light, they are cut off from the core of the district to the gentrified La Pigale.

Undoubtedly, the core of the red-light is in Metro Appa, Metro & Burnley, and The 'The'. There is a large trans sex work scene in the south part of Appa du l'Est along Blix Central. North Appa used to be the core of the red-light but it has moved south due to the northern shore becoming too expensive.

The Queer District, which was centred in Rainbow Village also had a small red-light district on the Blue Perpendicular, between The Boulevard and Lagosi. This red-light continues to be prominent, with mostly bathhouses, saunas, massage parlours, and strip clubs.

There have been several historical red-light districts. One of the most famous, but never the largest in the city, was the red-light district centered on the Old Blix Bridge, which was most active between the 1875-1903, when the bridge collapsed. High Village used to be a prominent red-light district and drug-district when the Marci Port was more active, but in the 1960s, morality raids forced to move of the red-light to the Quay Way so that High Village could be gentrified into a more expensive shore-side residential area.

The Quay Way was most active between 1966-1995, and Blix Central has generally been acknowledged as the main street of the red-light since 1999 until present.
