What made me drive from BOS to PVD many moons ago!

This is probably boring FYI for your amusement, or not!

One of the more "interesting" experiences I had at a gentlemen's was at the first club I went to in MA - Matthew's in Tyngsboro. Yes, I am that old! Went in, sat at a table and ordered a drink. After a short while a really stunning blonde walked over and we spoke for a while. She was seated right next to me and that all seemed perfectly fine. The moment I asked her for a dance, she got up and took two steps away from me, sort of measuring a distance. Confused, I asked what was happening. To which she replied, "Oh! I can sit there if we are just talking, but if I am dancing have to be at least 2 feet away from you." She must have noticed a confused look on my face, and added, "Welcome to Massachusetts!"

Although I had a pleasant visit as she was a stunner and very pleasant to chat to, that is when I decided to drive to PVD for check out Foxy Lady and then Desire on a more regular basis. In doing an online search recently, I came across the Boston regulations which would explain my experience. I have included the highlights below. They are part of a more general document covering all sorts of businesses in Boston. I suspect that the first paragraph might get this document banned from most Boston Public Schools!

Paragraph D below is interesting. In the past year or so, I have seen an occasional woman wear a form fitting, risque dress with imagery on it that gives you the impression, the dress is either transparent or she is partially nude. Does this mean the dress is fine in a regular nightclub, but not allowed in a strip club?

As if it by itself is not silly enough. This document is actually published on the city's website. That means that someone wrote it and most likely used Google Docs to share it, have it reviewed, and collect comments to make sure they properly and completely described the various parts of the body that needed to be controlled in an Adult establishment! Fortunately I am within driving distance of PVD!

Exactly why obscenity is so difficult (and often funny) to try to describe in legal terms. This is what created the famous line from the judge in 1964 Jacobellis v. Ohio of “I can’t define it, but i know it when I see it”

^ You don't seriously think that will ever happen, do you? Once Andrew Puopolo was murdered in the Combat Zone and the war on the Combat Zone began, strip clubs in this state, except for a few past and present clubs out in the west, were doomed. Centerfolds is gross and always has been. It was gross when it was Pudgy's, the original centerfolds down route 20 in Leicester was worse and to ever expect better makes no sense.
The one improvement I see since 1985 is that if you put a dollar in a garter at Squires, no one comes over to break your arm if you brushed her leg.

^ It's not Providence where 90% of the VIP visits include extras but there are PVD level VIPs available in Brockton.
