I knew Pauline well. I was a young TV reporter living in the same town of Bowling Green that she still lived in during the 1970's. When she retired, she bought a farm just on the outskirts of town. She would often invite me and several other of her friends to come for food and conversation. One Christmas, she asked me to sit on the arm of her "easy chair" close to her and sing Christmas carols for her and the guests. I never dreamed I would be doing something like that one day, especially after when in high school it was a common thing to joke about . . . going to Pauline's place. And here I was, sitting at her "place" and singing Christmas carols!!! She was actually a delightful woman and I grew to really like her. She developed diabetes and it eventually killed her. She is buried in our local city cemetery. The idea that her house was taken for 'urban renewal' is not exactly true. It was more like she wanted to sell the house for a nice profit because she was going to retire, and a group of local businessmen bought it and dismantled it and sold the bricks for $10 each. The 'urban renewal' part was the city DID buy property there around her home and tore all the old shantys down. In the place of those houses and her house, a businessman built a farm feed store and a place where you could come and buy baby chickens. A grain silo was out back. That business is now closed and Clay Street is not a very attractive place at all. There was no 'renewal' or any nice buildings constructed there.

"Quail on toast" ... "wait, what on toast???" 😏😂

Wish they were a bit more respectful, takes a lot for her to come on tv and talk about her past.

Except her maiden name wasn't Tabor. It was the name of her first husband. Her maiden name was Martin. Her sons lived with their Tabor grandparents. The reason she was so famous was due to both military bases, and the college. She only worked the girls 2 weeks per month, required regular medical exams, and put a lot of girls through college. A former board member of mine was her electrician. He invited her to church, she went, and the church asked her to leave. The electrician told them what he thought and left with her.

She looks like Liberace's mother.

Prostitution should be legal to protect the women from the pimps and to keep them disease free.
