Craigslist sex ads and the casinos

I'm not sure how it works in the other Connecticut, but here on our side of the state, the gals (and it is mostly gals) offering "erotic services" through Craigslist often mention one of two places: the casinos or Groton.

Doesn't take an Electric Boat engineer to figure out why — both areas have highly transient populations. And, with the idea of escape so heavily promoted by the casinos, why not step outside of the ordinary?

Now, I didn't grow up in eastern Connecticut so I don't remember the pre-casino days, but I'm going to venture a guess the world's oldest profession wasn't nearly as widespread in the past....
