Two people were shot in the parking lot of a northeast Miami-Dade gentlemen's club early Wednesday morning.

According to police, a black Pontiac was leaving a parking lot of the Office Urban Strip Club, on Miami Gardens Drive near Northeast Second Avenue, when someone opened fire on the car just before 5 a.m. A person inside the car was injured.

A second person in the parking lot was also shot. Both were taken to the hospital with what police said were non-life threatening injuries.

While police have not said who was shot, or given a motive for the shooting, a dancer at the club told CBS4 one of the injured people is a woman who dances at the club.

Men, women, alcohol, sexual frustration, and guns. What could possibly go wrong?

If prostitution were legalized, and most strip clubs were like brothels, would this go away?

They fail to mention it is a black club, unless "urban" is their code word for black. Shooting are quite common in certain areas of Miami, club or not.

hd,

It would not go away. It is a societal problem, not a SC problem.

If it's the same club called "The Office", the most recent review wrote

"I suggest if you walk in this place, walk back out!"

He must be a smart guy. Though Papi_Chulo, a respected board contributor, did write an nice lengthy review.

motor,

I don't even care to drive near the place, but strangely enough it is only about 1/2 mile east of Tootsie's!

Yep – I just added this club (“The Office”) not too long ago. It is an all-black club; well except for me and the urinals.

I would say it is hard to form a completely accurate opinion w.r.t. the incident – but I would suggest it is part and parcel of what goes on in many a urban community.

And shadow – yes – Tootsie’s and “The Office” are blocks apart off of the same street – and ~1 block past “The Office” is the meca of black SCs “King of Diamonds” (KOD). KOD; “The Office”; and Tootsie’s; are all in an industrial/warehouse area of N. Miami.

KOD and Tootsies seem like converted large warehouses with Tootsie’s being a whopping 74,000 sq feet and KOD being 50,000 sq feet (I imagine these are the size of the building as a whole and not necessarily all SC space – but both SCs *are* very big) – “The Office” is on the smallish side although it has a very healthy following.

“… And shadow – yes – Tootsie’s and “The Office” are blocks apart ..”

The statement was meant towards Clubber :)

That is kind of a stretch but I appreciate the sentiment :)

Will Society try to fix the problem? Hmm...

I thought Obama and his Socialist/spread-the-wealth “policies” were supposed to do this :)

Certain Lobbies don't wish a fix.

Papi,

Tootsie's was a retail store, in the beginning. A BJ's! How ironic. :)

Clubber,

Thanks for info. I had heard that from someone else but couldn’t remember if it was Tootsie’s or KOD – thanks.

I used to drive by this place all the time after being at Tootsies, now I am glad I never stopped in.

I’m glad I stopped in (and lived to tell about it) :) – but my tastes are a bit “eccentric” :)
