One problem was that lap dances were expensive and strictly no touch on the customers part. I never bought any, well maybe 2 or 3 over several years. dancers weren't making much money when customers bring their own beer and tip a few ones at the stage. I liked it though.

I just got home from Follies and there was a message on my answering machine from a Columbia PP dancer that I know pretty well. Things there and at PP West are still fucked up.
I've never been overly enamored with Florida but it's looking better. SC could do a great deal to make itself more attractive.
That would be like South Carolina trying to market the state to foreign investors without any good entertainment. They are often business men who want to be entertained when not on business. State officials might think it doesn't matter. Little things make a huge difference.
Then when they made the bust they got the girls' names printed in the newspaper.
In San Francisco, during the hey days when Jim and Artie were fighting it out with Mayor Diane Feinstein, the cops never would have dared say such things or do such things. And the newspaper wouldn't have printed dancer names. They stood with Jim, Artie, and their lovely dancers.
