  I had a 4-day weekend planned which included hitting a couple of clubs, most likely the FC and maybe Bogart's. But a crisis at work forced me to work Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday. So I have to spend today doing household chores. No fun for me.

  Not today. I'm sure the clubs will be open but dancer quantity and quality will definitely take a big hit.

  For sure, shadowcat. The desperation factor comes into play. The Bogarts' dancers working today most likely really need the cash.

  Papi, I live on the far Northeast side of the Detroit Metropolitan area. Bogarts is way down on the southwest side, about 50 miles. If I tried to bicycle that far, I'd die. LOL

  VM you don't have a car? 50 miles would be a super long time on the bus.

  larry, I do have a car. It's been in storage while I recovered from my medical issues. I'm going to get it this week and put it back on the road.
  Yeah, it's a long trip via bus. When I went to The Flight Club meetup, it took about 2 hours to get down there. I knew I wouldn't be coming back that night, SMART bus service sucks and I couldn't take the chance of getting stranded somewhere if I missed a critical connection. I'll be glad to be driving my Vette again.

  There's very little SMART about the SMART bus. I hear rumors about the possibility of a commuter rail service between Detroit and Ann Arbor and considering the tracks would run right behind Flight Club and the Criket.... and not far from BTs, it would all depend on where the stops were, when and how often the trains ran, and taxi or uber between the stops and the clubs. Might end up being a good option to maximize your fun hopping between the Michigan Avenue bars and avoid a DUI if they get it done. (I'm sure getting between titty bars is NOT the destination planning they will have in mind, LOL)

  Yes, Hugh, there's talk about upgrading regional transportation here. It's about time !! Henry Ford and his buddies at Chrysler and Ford killed mass transit here back in the 40's. They wanted to sell cars, plain and simple. When one travels the USA, we see how much better mass transit is in other parts of the country. The AMTRAK train station is about 5-6 miles East of Flight Club, and not as far from Criket and BT's. Uber would be an option after train trips. I'd never tell the conductor that I'm going to our strip clubs. :)
