    Okay, well after reading that brief intro to Portland strip clubs, I've put one more city on my "Never visit a strip club there" list.

    I never got past "tattooed head to toe"

    As a foodie, I've seen the weirdness of Portland on Guy Fieri's show

    An interesting tidbit for Mr Dugan

    "In Oregon, as in most states, strippers are misclassified as independent contractors. Not only do dancers not get an hourly wage, they are usually forced to pay ‘stage fees’ to work each shift. But the state’s Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) already determined through three previous cases that most dancers are, in fact, employees according to state law."

    "tattooed head to toe"

    Nothing like becoming a grandmother covered with crappy fading tattoos

    On the plus side, Portland has "not-2AMers". Doe other cities have that?

    And really good food trucks too. If only they had legal weed...
