Send us Fan MailOur Season Finale! Behind the neon glow of Ogden's infamous 25th Street stood one of the city's most notorious figures: Rose Davies. To some, she was a successful madam who built an underground empire in the shadows of postwar Utah. To others, she represented a darker reality hidden behind the myths of vice, freedom, and easy money. In this episode, we explore the story of Rose Davies and the Rose Rooms, separating legend from history while examining what life may have truly looked like for the women who worked there. From police raids and political controversies to the everyday realities of prostitution in mid-century Ogden, this story is about power, exploitation, survival, and the uncomfortable truths often left out of the romanticized versions of the past. Join us as we step through the doors of the Rose Rooms and into one of the most controversial chapters in Ogden's history. Ogden, Ogden Utah, Junction City, True Crime, Historic 25th Street, Two-Bit Street, Ogden True Crime, Utah True Crime, Police, Police Podcast, Tales of Policing, History, History Podcast
