Prostitutes, Bar Keepers, A Musician, and A Fisherman

Looking for people who may or may not be related to me in the 1870 Census, I stumbled upon this. I saw one woman listed as a prostitute and then turned to the page before to be nosey. I have never seen this up until this point.

I find it fascinating to be honest. You have prostitutes, barkeepers, a musician and a fisherman in these two boarding houses. They were neighbors to Daniel and Lovey Allmond, parents of Africa Allmond.
