Question on Atlanta Strip Clubs- Wax and Blue Flame

The city of South Fulton is trying to close all strip clubs within the city limits including Club Wax and doing a good job of it. The owners and managers are trying to hold on by restricting what goes on in the club. Which is driving away dancers that can't make any money and customers that can't get what they want. It is just a matter of time before they close.

Never been to Blue Flame and have no interest in doing so.

Is South Fulton trying to be a neighborhood district or something?

Thanks for the update.

City of South Fulton is a new recognized city.

All 5 council members are females.

Yep, that's the kiss of death.

To be fair, a bikini bar next to strip club capital of the South was always going to be a losing battle.

I have been informed that many of the dancers work there while waiting on adult entertainment licenses to work somewhere else. Club Wax is essentially just a temporary stop until a full nude position opens.

They say wild stuff still happens but its definitely rare now. A big factor is if the manager is there or not.

Damn remember ATL clubs before massive gentrification, OnlyFans, and the Cuban invasion? We didn't know how good we had it 10+ years ago...

@ Pawg Patrol, I wasn't very active 10 years ago. Every time I read about the past (roughly 2010 to 2018), it's feels like I missed a silver age of strip clubs.

I say silver age because I think the true golden age of strip clubs was 1980 to late 1990s. It was before my time, so perhaps someone over 50 can clarify.

@Owlyoung The golden age was different for everyone depending on your age and local clubbing area, some places it’s great now, others used to be some never were.

There are so many ups and downs with individual clubs, and policies/practices of local and state governments. I'm not sure it makes much sense to focus on trends spanning decades, especially not national ones.

Over the course of the 80s and 90s, the stigma of going to a strip club, and of being a no-contact stripper, lessened. So the higher end clubs attracted a lot of magazine model types as dancers. If that was your thing, in-person, no contact, magazine pretty, it was a golden age I guess. But no contact clubs are in the minority now I think. At today's "urban" clubs, the contact is generally limited to butt slapping. But I don't think the dancers make as much as when no contact clubs had a broader customer base.
