Blockist

I was surprised to find Shadow dancing at Joe's Place. She has been out of town for over a year attending to family stuff…

Chez Joey... historically unique, currently not too bad. The Blockist has written before of the hidden 3-dimensional representation of Paris night club life of…

The Blockist has a tendency to bypass the Chez Joey - not because the club is below par for the Block but because it's…

Blockbird - it appears that I have, in fact, made the first(?) mistake in my memory. Or, maybe the problem is the memory... maybe…

Aahhh... another satisfying visit to the Blockist's current favorite venue. The poor economy seems to be ignoring the Red Room, business appears brisk, and…

Speaking of Gabby... what a package! She is a bit shy (by Block standards) and a bit gabby (hence the name), but once she…

To tell the truth, I've never been too fond of the Circus. While I've known some of the staff for years, the club always…

Bad news, Flamingo fans - Roger has left the building! Roger, the bartender/manager who turned the Flamingo around from a major downhill slide over…

Red Room has been recently castigated for inappropriate dancer behavior, so it's likely that YMMBLTN (your mileage may be lower than normal). In addition,…

The Plaza remains one of the most "typical" of the current Block venues. The VIP area (behind the bar)has undergone a recent downgrade with…

For the curious: The former owners of one of the clubs (the Mouse Trap) displaced by the expansion of Norma Jean's on the side…

The Flamingo continues to represent the Best of the Block. Recent community pressure seems to have caused a bit of tightening up of the…

As of right now, best bar on the block. Always a few low-mileage dancers, but for the most part, as with most deals, you…

The Blockist has left his Baltimore/Block home base and visited Detriot about once a year for the last 5 years, visiting a couple of…

I have left my Baltimore/Block home base and visited Detriot about once a year for the last 5 years and have visited a couple…

Since the Plaza closed, many of the dancers have moved here to another venue by the same owners. Many of the skankier staffpeople from…

The Jewel Box is struggling to find its identity since Nikki the bartender left. Girls are variable, bartender/manager attitude is variable, YMMV.

Kimmie has returned…

Things happen fast on the Block. The infamous bartender/dancer Marty has been gone and returned to the Jewel Box since the Blockist last posted.…

Of course, the Blockist is a daytime guy, but I really like the Jewel Box. Night time may be somewhat different, but the day…

Wow! New manager, Dave (the owner) faded into the background, nice (if medium attractive) girls - seems like a recipe for success. I dropped…

Plaza experienced a wildness setback with the departure of Marty, the mid-late-week daytime bartender. I guess it was getting a bit TOO wild. She…

The Blockist has been pretty down on the Flamingo for its "who cares" attitude and general dinginess.

Surprise! The old place is starting to look…

The Red Room, renamed from the Golden Nugget when it was taken over by the former owners of the Red Room of South Broadway…

I spent a few days in SF a couple of weeks back, leaving behind the delights of my beloved B'more, and decided to revisit…

Made my annual pilgrimage to Motown last week. I stopped in at The Room and was not surprised to be entertained in royal fashion…
