  Do you have another local club you go to in instances like this till the "heat" dies down? Or is the bar set to high at Follies? Just ride the storm?

  When I read the title I thought it eas gonna be worst.
  
  I wonder hiw all the weed smoking wasn't obvious to the cops - perhaps people had enough time to see what was going on

  If they (the cops) put on an occasional show, it should keep all the residents happy. "Look here. Nothing bad going on. Everyone has permits. No trafficking. These are not the strippers we are looking for. Go on about your business."

  Only as long as follies keeps paying off... whoever it is. Shouldnt be a problem for a while considering the cash cow they created.

  Thanks for the report. Doesn't sound too bad. The raid a couple of years ago was a total cluster fuck.

  Was chatting with one of the girls today at Follies. She said they do yearly random check on the girls to make sure they got their permits. And yearly Fire Marshall comes by to check the place.

  VBD- The fire marshal has been there more often than that. The club has 2 citations for exceeding the occupancy limitations. A 3rd will get them in hot water. That is why the club is keeping a close watch on how many they let in at a time and is probably a factor in the planned club expansion.

  Shadow, that explains a lot. When I left 5:00 on Saturday, there was long line to get in; and it was not super crowded inside. But probably they meet the max limit by the fire Marshall. Also explains why they have been throwing out deadbeats, something they should have done long ago. Thanks for the update.

  The club has several factors holding down the max occupancy. It is all based on how quickly people can exit in an emergency. there are only two doors and one of them is a double exit meaning you go through a door twice, which slows you down. All the little tables impede traffic flow. The bar, the sunken center floor, the raised couch area and the stages that impede exit from the bar area all reduce the limit. That place is a poster child for how NOT to lay out a building for maximum limits. Then again, so are most strip clubs.

  I was there Thursday and left around 4 or 4:30. There was no line that I saw. Thought about going back Saturday afternoon, but didn't feel like fighting traffic or overpaying to skip a line.

  Does anyone know what the max-capacity is supposed to be for Follies?

  The club was originally built as a restaurant. I was told the name but have forgotten it. There is also a 3rd exit on the back of the club that normally only employees use. I've never seen a sign showing the capacity. Don't know if that is required by law or not.

  Damn that brings back memories. It was a fern bar called Copperfields. Like a Benigans. I think I actually ate there once.
