City of Industry Clubs - Changes Coming

Holy shit, COI is cracking down.

It's interesting to read what's going on behind the scenes. I read the article referenced by you and then scrolled down a bit to see what else he had to say.

I had never seen the Hound's Blog Spot before but the essay dated Tuesday April 2 sounds VERY similar to the club I left recently. (And for the same reason stated).

CoI's very nature makes it vulnerable to one large business or a group of businesses in town deciding they're no longer comfortable to be in a location with a reputation; though that was always the case, CoI has also been depopulating really fast (777 official residents in the 2000 Census, just 219 in the 2010 Census) which means the local authorities become weak vis-a-vis neighboring towns and the County (from where it gets most of its public services already).

Us COI clubbers are not happy about it, but it could be so much worse. Lets hope it stops there.

I thought I just read something about California pushing back last call to 4AM?

You may have to travel a bit farther soon it seems.

Personally, 2AM closing not an issue for me, as I've very rarely stayed past 2AM at any club in the last 15 years. Gotta avoid those "2AMers"............

Further information: According to their web site Monarchs will have their grand opening tomorrow April 11th. Looking at their web site they show that 'half price specials' will be 10 topless and 20 nude, which is the normal price at DV down the street. So it looks like they will be trying to be the 'premium' club of the area. I can only presume that the Pinks name was dropped out of trademark problems. There is a very famous hot dog chain in California also named Pinks.

I don't understand why you guys are freaking about this...they changed the closing time. BFD. I don't get it. Who the fuck goes to a strip club in COI between 2am and 4am? And who the fuck cares?

When they start raiding the high mileage clubs and maybe initiate a 6 foot law, then yeah, start freaking. But what the fuck did this make you guys get your panties in a bunch over?

@ Inno: Thanks for your input. I knew I could count on you for local, accurate information. According to the club's website, it's definitely adhering to a 2:00 a.m. closing time:

Also, rather than a copyright issue, I wonder if the name Monarch's, is just an attempt to convince the public that a new strip club is truly opening at the former Hawaii Theater location, after the failed attempt under the name, Pink's. Apparently, as of last October, the then potential name of Monarch's was known. See:

I wasn't aware of that at the time. If you'll notice my comments, I was only aware of Pink's back then.

Interesting. I have to take a red-eye to go out of town today so I might actually be able to stop by on my way to the airport and take a look at Monarch's if it is open.

Also regarding the 2 am closing.. it sucks but I guess it's not the end of the world. It'll make some dancers' lives harder since they'll make less (because of spending less time at the club), which may have the unintended effect of driving up the cost of extras. But who knows.
