Taking a page from the city’s successful CORTEX high-tech business district in mid-town, St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer today announced “CORSEX” High Tech Innovation Corridor” for the city’s flagging downtown and dilapidated near Northside.
The concept behind CORSEX is to attract and nurture new and existing businesses, labs and think tanks working in leading-edge sex technologies, the Mayor said at a news conference Tuesday. Sub-districts within CORSEX include an “AI Sex Bot Business Incubator,” a “Virtual Reality Adult Film Studio/Theater”, a “NextGen Marital Aids Manufacturing Zone”, a “Sexual Health Psychology Think Tank” and a 75,000 sq. ft AI Data Center.
“This corridor will attract world-class high-tech businesses, scientists and entrepreneurs working to advance our country’s sexual revolution through artificial intelligence, quantum computing and stimulating virtual experiences,” she explained. “This is a natural evolutionary next step from the ground-breaking work performed by Washington University sex researchers Masters & Johnson decades ago.”
“Personally, I’m very excited,” she stated, blushing.
At publishing time, detractors had already dubbed the corridor “The Stroll 2.0”, referencing the notorious stretch of Washington Ave which was frequented by street prostitutes and their customers years ago. CORSEX critics also warned that the development’s noise and traffic would detract from the city’s otherwise “quiet and peaceful” downtown.
