La Grange facts
While investigating facts about La Grange, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The Chicken Ranch, a brothel in Texas that exchanged sex acts for live chickens during the Great Depression. Operating until 1973, it was the basis for a Broadway musical (later made into a film starring Dolly Parton), and the ZZ Top song "La Grange"
ZZ Top's song La Grange is about the Chicken Ranch Brothel better known as "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"
