Little Details

Hi. First time poster, wonderful community, yada yada... [g]
I'm trying to figure out dimensions for a valley for an original fantasy story I'm working on (in addition to any other information anyone wants to throw in). Travel time by horse is a key factor.

Er--I'm being overly wordy. I need the distance from each keep to the border to be such that a well-fed, well-treated horse (but not a racehorse) with a rider could travel it at a comfortable walk in half an hour or so, or at a dead run in 10 minutes. I also need some idea of how many *people* a valley that size and shape could probably support (assuming they grow all of their own food); and if anyone wants to throw in info or sources on medieval(esque) farming techniques, likely crops, warfare, valley geography, or anything else I might not have though of, feel free.
Please help? [looks sweet and charming]

Spanish morning meal. Mid-1700s. Lower-class dive. Details?

Thanks you guys for the last time. Now here is the newest.
Brothels. Did they exist in the 1920's? Like in Europe anywhere? I know about them being there int he 1800's and before. Is there any sites or information anyone can give me? Thanks.

1. What would you call the blurb on the cover of a magazine describing the cover story, usually a play on words?

2. Anybody know the name of a really trendy tux designer, something movie stars would wear?

3. And last but not least, can you name a street in LA that is known for its seedy motels that would be populated by drunks and hookers?

Thanks as always!
