Dan Allen (1832 – April 1884) was an pioneergambler in Omaha, Nebraska. He had great influence throughout the young city and was the long-time companion of Anna Wilson, the city's foremost madam for almost 40 years. Allen was influential throughout early Omaha.
About
Allen was born in New York and lived in Peoria, Illinois for some time before coming to Omaha. He arrived in Omaha in 1866, and opened a gambling house in Downtown Omaha in 1878. It is believed that Dan met Anna Wilson in New Orleans, eventually persuading her to come to Omaha with him.
Omaha was known as a "wide-open" city for its first 50 years, with explicit prostitution in the Burnt District and gambling in the Sporting District, both located in Downtown Omaha. Allen ran one of the most infamous saloons and gambling houses in Omaha from the 1860s through the 1870s on the second floor of the city's Pioneer Block. On the first floor of the building Allen ran a pawnshop; on the second, a gambling hall. The two enterprises worked in sync: if players were out of money they could lower watches, diamonds or other valuables on a dumbwaiter down to the pawnbroker, who in turn would hoist the equivalent value in money back to the players. In a contemporary account from 1880 Allen was alleged to have run Keno and poker rooms in the open, with little or no resistance from local police or politicians.
Dan Allen is a former municipal politician in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He served as a member of city council from 1994 to 1997.
Allen was born in Windsor, and was a career civil servant with Canada Manpower before entering political life. He took a leave of absence to work as executive assistant to Windsor Mayor John Millson from January to September 1990. He later co-organized a roast for Millson when he retired as mayor in 1991. Allen was board chairman of Windsor's United Way, and served on Windsor's casino tourism task force in the early 1990s. He received a Governor General's Award in 1993.
Allen was elected to the Windsor City Council in the 1994 municipal election, winning the second of two seats in Ward One. He was endorsed by the Windsor Labour Council, was forty-four years old at the time of his election, and was generally supportive of the existing council's direction. Allen was described as an adept political negotiator, and was a personal friend and ideological ally of Mayor Mike Hurst.
(Chali 2na) Yo, this is a lesson in friendship The depths of a kinship What women and men begin with, and then slip My pen drips As I scribble my thoughts on thin strips Of emotion A fraction, seduction, attraction Eruption of passion Corrupts if a lasted friendship's involved But love to cross the line But that's why we built these walls (Hook: Nelly Furtado) We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line I love you like you was mine, think about you all the time Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line (Akil) Opposite's attract When the female and male come in contact Sticky situation in fact Tryin not to let the feelings catch But there's a thin line between both of y'all So you respect that And entertain the idea, but get brought back To reality, and could you really live with that?

(Damn) But to me girl, you're still off limits No matter all the times that I hinted (Yo, whatchu doin after this?)
