Boys Town or Boy's Town or Boys' Town (Mexican brothels near Texas border)

[James Harbeck]

Well, my wife, former figure skater, who as a consequence went to
just about no other kind of bar than gay bars for years (because she
was going to bars with her good friends in the ice shows, and they
were almost all gay men or "fag hags"), knows and uses "Boys' Town"
exclusively as a reference to the gay neighbourhood -- in Toronto or
whatever city she happens to be in. I'm familiar with it only in that
sense and the Father Flanagan sense -- the Mexican brothels are a new
one to me.
