Strip Clubs circa 1980 vs TODAY

Although Chicago and its suburban clubs were mob-controlled ... (who knew who owned these joints? and sometimes dangerous "clip-joints;" they still seem 2B more exciting in my memory than the corporate chain SC's and those run by guys who managed a Chili's or Olive Garden before.
I can recall nude dancers on-stage, a good drink and cigar bar, and a sense that you were in a guy's domain. There were no tuxedo-clad doormen with their palms up seeking tips. No washroom valet. No co-ed groups checking out the SC for a vicarious thrill. You could get full-service and placed it on your Visa/MC/AMEX.
Yea, this was pre-AIDS and you could score a BBBJ, "half&half" or take her for a limo ride.
NOW, we have college girls coming to the clubs to bare their breasts and grab attention away from the dancers on stage. The doormen, bouncers, and floor managers think they are doing YOU a favor by letting you sit close to the stage.
If I get the Deja Vu "blue light special" dance(r); I can be rewarded with a DVD, T-shirt or lighter. This carnival shit sucks.
If the dancers today knew how to be as seductive as the SC women were in the 80's, would the strip club biz be better?
Got something to say?
