What's wrong with Chicago

Michigan
I traveled to Kalamazoo recently and was surprised to see a nice club open in the afternoon with lots of dancers and business. Angels opens at noon (or maybe earlier) and when I visited on a Tuesday afternoon, it was busy, with 8 or 10 dancers and lots of customers. Most of the dancers were getting frequent private dances.
I'd just come from Chicago, and visited Industrial Strip (Hammond, IN) on Monday about 6pm. Only three dancers and I shared them with one other customer. What's the deal? How can a small city like K'zoo support a club like Angels and IS can't open until 5pm and still can't generate enough business to keep 3 dancers busy?
Is it the no-alcohol law in Hammond?
Is it the steep price (IS charges $13 to get in. Angels is free until 6pm and $5 after)
What do you guys think?

On the other hand, I stopped at Angels once in the afternoon, and i was one if about a half dozen customers. So ya never know.
Heading over the border into Indiana might be doable on the weekends (when I.S. is packed) or even on a weeknight... but not during the days. And the people that do live in northwest Indiana are lower income, and perhaps less likely to patronize a more expensive club?
Perhaps proving my theory, the only spot in the Chicago area that seems to be busy on a regular basis during the days is Heavenly Bodies... which is right near the airport, off a major expressway & near suburbs where lots of folks travel through 5 days a week.

Arnie's Idle Hour is very close. A good time is guaranteed in that joint (for not that many $$$, either).
The Cubs and the White Sox.

Exactly how does one find fault with a first-place club, one that won a world championship just 7 years ago? Obviously Jackslash doesn't spend much time outside the strip clubs.
Anyhow, it's hard to argue with the OP, as good daytime clubs are hard to find in the Chicago area. I used to love Blackjack's in Elgin, but since losing their liquor license it look like the club is swirling the drain. Most of their most popular dancers are gone already.
