Something going down at Follies
goldmongerATLThe Square Above Charlie Weaver
Follies is normally open well before 1 to let people getsettled and get a drink. Dancing starts at 1.
Got there at 1 sharp. About ten guys in line to get in. WTF?? They were not open but the staff was there. Dancers started arriving but PLs not allowed in. Went to sit in my car with A/C and watched.
Started to notice a few dancers leaving. Also noticed wgat might have been an unmarked car out back. Drive away at 1:25. Now 20 guys waiting. Up the road passed 3 marked police cars sitting in Parking lot

Oh damn, with the godfather of Follies temporarily out of commission I hope a rival family isn't trying to screw things up!

It was only a matter of time before people got fed up. From everything I have heard about follies they are the only strip club BOLD enough to be blatant about their illegal activities with drugs and sex out in the open.

Maybe they were late on their payments to city hall.

Maybe with SC out of commission they have to lay off half the staff????

I often wondered if the good times at Follies would last forever giving no other club in the city allows what they do - in the back of my mind one would think a competing club(s) would rat them out.

If there is something amiss w/ Follies better not tell shadow for now.

Another odd thing I forgot to mention was the valet guy is normally there at least to start setting up by 1pm. He was not there even at 1:25.

I just messaged a dancer I know. I'll find out if she knows something.

Hopefully nothing permanent is going on. I was not in a position to go back later and check.

Maybe it has something with it being Mothers Day & they deciding not to open or only open at night? But one would think the dancers would have known ahead of time?

This is bad news. I'm gonna be in ATL in a couple weeks and I was planning on making a visit....hopefully things are the same by the time I get there

Give it a rest on Mother's Day, dudes. Set aside some funds for another holiday.

Maybe they all went down to visit Shadow I bet he'd enjoy that.

I heard from one dancer, and she wasn't aware of anything going on.

I just phoned the club and solved the mystery in about one minute. They're open. Business as usual. Probably a manager overslept. That's caused them to open late before. (Sorry to spoil the doom n gloom party.)

I usually go in around 12:30. Always been open. I think sc usually arrives before noon.
Still it doesn't sound like a typical raid of any type. Look forward to more news as I may be there soon.

Why would the club tell the truth if there'd been a raid of some kind? After all, they'd probably think it would scare people away. And they'd probably be right. :)
Hey, just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get me.

Hopefully Chandler is right. But remember, Shooters Alley just up the road recently got shut down for some sort of liquor license violation. Word is that when they re-open it will be a no-alcohol-no-nudity pasties bar. Let's hope it's all just a coincidence---I'm sure a tuscl'er will be dropping by Follies at some point today and can give us a report.

Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand

We need to be careful about doom and gloom speculation on Follies for the time being. SC might flatline if he sees the wrong headline.
