Lexington


___This was a real place. Back in the day it was called the Lexington Narcotics Farm because it was out of the city limits among the Bluegrass horse farms. A huge place, it was later converted into a womans prison. The Manson families Squeeky From was housed there as well as Leona Helmsley and Martha Stewart briefly, among other celebrities. I heard stories about it, including Frank Sinatra. The stories were probably about the film, but by the time it got to me I thought it was real, so grew up thinking Sinatra was a drug addict, and that he actually came there to recover.
