Vivide was closed today due to flooding again. I texted an ex Follies/Vivide favorite to confirm. She did and offered to drive to my house for a 30 minute VIP session for $160. I accepted and she delivered as promised.
Then she showed me on Face Book where the former Folllies and Diamond manager says that Follies will reopen this summer with a bowling alley. Scroll through the posts and you decide if it's BS or not.

"Someone" is looking to open a club in warehouse space in Gwinnett in an area that is somewhat desolate. She said the plan was two clubs with separate security, cover and entrances.
One would be a bikini bar or topless place with alcohol. The other would be fully nude with soft drinks only and VIP rooms. Dancers would be able to move freely between the two clubs in the back space. Customers would have to leave one club out to a lobby and then enter the other club.
If there is any legs to that it sounds intriguing.
Hopefully if that is what the new follies turns out to be I hope they do a better job of it than the Palace in the Pines owners did. They need to make sure the atmosphere in both halves of the club is good.
I wonder if the story might have been off a bit on location. I pulled up a map and there is an industrial area between Buford Hwy and I-85 that Doraville has not yet annexed. Part is in Dekalb and part is in Gwinnett.
But it could be Gwinnett. The only law I could find bars alcohol and nudity in the same establishment. I think that is pretty standard.
@goldmonger - there are 2 clubs in Clayton county. King of Diamonds and Rumors. Both have alcohol and total nudity but no VIP rooms.
My source did say the location was on Buford Hwy but you know stripper knowledge can be fuzzy.
IDK much about the local-laws in those areas; but if a county has never had a strip-club; especially in an area like ATL w/ a ton of clubs; one would assume it's b/c they want it that way.
