  I remember reading a biography on Bill Gates. He went to Harvard for one year before dropping out. During his time at Harvard, he used to frequent the Combat Zone, an underground adult entertainment district. "during his years in college, Gates rarely dated however, he liked to frequent Boston’s notorious Combat Zone, with its porn shows, strip joints, and prostitutes" [view link]

  Years ago underground illegal "after hours" clubs featured gambling, strippers and drinks. They usually came to life after midnight as the crowd starting leaving straight establishments. Called "blind pigs" these clubs were once the mainstay of late night early morning entertainment in Detroit. A heavy police raid on a "blind pig" one hot steamy July night triggered the 1967 Detroit riot.

  CORRECTION ON COMBAT ZONE IN BOSTON -- I have been there. Itwas NOT underground. It may or may not harbor underground clubs - but the COMBAT ZONE, in the eighties and nineties, was simply the raunchy entertainment district. By the time I got there, in the nineties, it had become highly regulated. Clear rules about touching, etc., posted on every table at every establishment. There are a couple of clubs - one in Philadelphia, one in Newark, that I would characterize as "underground" from the reviews I have seen on TUSCL.

  I dunno that anyone ever said that the old Combat Zone was "underground". Anyway, from what I understand, the heyday of these type of clubs in the NYC area is in the past at this point.

  Mr. Guy -- not that it really matters, but one of the other posters did say, "he used to frequent the Combat Zone, an underground adult entertainment district." BTW I watched the video and thought it was pretty ho-hum. Gatorfan probably had the best line about underground clubs "Do I need a shovel to find one?" Wish I had thought of that.

  Yeah arbeeguy,you are right... I just read his biography and I think it mentioned you take a subway to get there. I have not been there myself though, thanks for the correction.

  "I imagine most of us would avoid this kind of place" I watched the video... I would NOT avoid such a place.
