Wow, Portland, OR: SC Mecca
malibucoconuts
I'm heading to Portland, OR soon and I used tuscl.net to check out some of the SCs that are there. I used the Locator and it tells me there are 71 SCs in the Portland area! Seattle and Vancouver BC, two considerably larger cities, have 11 and 10 SCs, respectively. It has almost as many as NYC, a city probably 20x the size. Portland seems to be quite the SC Mecca. I wonder why Portland has 7x as many SCs as its two larger Pac NW neighbors?

The Acropolis serves cheap steaks which can sometimes be good. Many drafts of beers on tap. Also has a 10-egg omelette -- I ate about 5 eggs worth and had to toss it. But eating breakfast with dancers doing their thing in front of you at 8am was ... different. That said, at The Acropolis, the gals dance in corrals with rails around the outside. First song fully dressed, second topless, third full nude, and on song 4 they crawl around and gather up the $1s they've been given and get dressed. Remakably, one of the best-looking dancers I ever saw was at The Acropolis, and I couldn't believe she was crawling around to gather up the $1s. Got a private dance and the most contact was her parting my knees with hers at the end of the first song. I didn't buy another.
Size of the city of course, and whether the laws are permissive. But also just as much whether the market expects clubs to be big establishments or small ones. Some cities will only approve licenses for clubs of limited square footage, presuming that keeps down trouble if a club starts attracting a bad element. Other cities give out fewer permits but for larger square footage in the theory that they can keep an eye on a smaller number of clubs easier.
Another factor is what forms of adult entertainment the city has decided to tolerate. So for example some cities decide to be lenient on massage parlors, others lenient on strip clubs, still others lenient on incall escorts. It is both a matter of allocating law enforcement and a little bit of creating something less visible than streetwalkers. Whatever the city decides to be less focused on stopping will become the dominant form of adult entertainment.
