Bars about to reopen in Palm Beach - Hope for South Florida
Saturday, September 26, 2020 2:24 AM
After months of waiting, bars in Palm Beach county will be allowed to reopen Oct 5th at 50% capacity. This is the first of the three South Florida counties (Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach) to allow bars to reopen.
Strip clubs will be allowed to reopen and dancers will be allowed to perform on stage, but must remain behind a plexiglass divider. No touching, including lap dances, will be allowed.
Strip club employees "are losing employment,” Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner said during the meeting. "I was talking to one of the owners. It’s great there’s a possibility of $25,000 stimulus that may come from the county, but their payroll is $35,000 a week and they’re losing the opportunity to pay these women who are going to migrate to other places and I’m sensitive to that."
"Migrate to other places"??? Hell, that started the second clubs opened up everywhere else in the state. No word on Broward or Miami-Dade yet. Not great, but at least it's a start.
