  Oregon may have 43 new strip clubs ... but I don't think you'd want a lapper at the 50+ in Portland propper.&nbsp;&nbsp; Why, o why, do they have sooooooooooo many lame clubs?!&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
  <br />
  Funny story:&nbsp;&nbsp; Guys really were &quot;Shanghaied&quot; in Portland long ago.&nbsp;&nbsp; A History Channel show on Portland discussed trap doors in the floor&nbsp;of bars down on the waterfront ... move too close and the bartender threw the lever and down you went!&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
  <br />
  But the&nbsp;amusing anecdote&nbsp;was two of the most prolific criminals involved in the practice of &quot;Shanghai-ing&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Once, while out on the prowl, they looked down through the sidewalk planking (Portland's frequent rain meant they raised the street level) and saw what they assumed were a dozen drunks passed out.&nbsp;&nbsp; Once down below, they discovered the drunks had broken into what they must've thought was a barrel of alcohol but rather was poisonous embalming fluid.&nbsp;&nbsp; The dozen &quot;joes&quot; were all dead.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nevertheless, they loaded up the &quot;drunks&quot; onto some flatbed carts and delivered them to a captain as crew.&nbsp;&nbsp; The captain wasn't impressed with the lot, but the 'salesmen' said they were merely 'intoxicated'.&nbsp;&nbsp; The captain paid the going bounty for each crewmen and they hauled them aboard.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The 'salesmen' quickly disappeared, but not the tale of their &quot;big score&quot;.

  I guess we know why they call Oregon the Beaver state lol<br />
  <br />
  As for strip clubs per capita, Portland I believe has the most strip clubs per capita.<br type="_moz" />

  &nbsp;Also Ohio just lost Club 2K in Newark, so they are down to 116, but still an increase from their 2001 levels. &nbsp;

  <span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">VT actually only has 2 <i>real</i> strip clubs now, and they've had as many as 2-3 more than now in the past.&nbsp; A number of them actually burned down I guess.&nbsp; NH really only has only 1-2 <i>real</i> strip clubs now as well, and they have had at least 1-2 others, in addition to right now, in the past.<br />

  Samsung,burnrubber --&nbsp; Portland has a lot of strip clubs, but I think the highest strip clubs per capita award goes to Brooklyn Illinois.&nbsp; Population = 276&nbsp; No. of strip clubs = 4.&nbsp; That's one strip club for every 70 inhabitants.&nbsp; Is there ANY other town city or village that comes close????<br type="_moz" />

  I'm sure there are many small population towns, etc., which are more commercial&nbsp;locales than residential.&nbsp;&nbsp; So be it Brooklyn or COI, they're destination places surrounded by MUCH larger cities.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
  <br />
  So, maybe it's a different category.&nbsp;&nbsp; But Portland&nbsp;has 56 lame clubs.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Why doesn't 5 or even 10 suffice?&nbsp;&nbsp; There are surrounding suburbs, and I believe many TUSCL contributors have spoken highly of Jiggles in Tualitan.&nbsp;&nbsp; If true, why can 56 clubs in Portland propper stay in business?
