When Hank tries to clean up a local landmark, Peggy writes an article on the spot for the paper, only to uncover that Arlen used to be called Harlottown, a centre of ill repute. Hank is aghast when the town starts promoting its history. An enjoyable tale.moreless

I really enjoyed this episode, a lot more than the previous one (the rather average 'Bill's House').

The story is a good one, as it emerges that Arlen used to be full of brothels and prostitutes. Hank is even more aghast when the new town managers starts celebrating and promoting the fact, using the town's history to turn it into a tourist attraction.

I have heard a lot of people say that seasons nine and ten are pretty weak, but - even though they might not be the most vintage of seasons - judging on the quality of this sort of episode, I wouldn't say I particularly agree with that notion.

I did find the last stage of the story maybe a little too convenient (something that affects a lot of stories of late), but it wraps the episode up well and in a satisfying manner.

All-in-all, a very good episode.moreless

we get to find out that arlen really was harlen and before that it used to be a place like the bunny ranch is now. hank doesnt like it and they try to exploit it and such. one of the better ones being made today. such a way to cancell a fine show.

ADD ALLUSIONS
- This episode is remarkably similar to the pilot episode of the "Newhart" TV show where Dick Loudon discovers that his Stratford Inn served as a brothel during the American Revolution. He tells the ladies' group in his talk that they are not so much "daughters of the American Revolution" as they are "daughters of a three-day-pass."
