Rhymes with money.

I've had more fun here before. I've had less fun here, too.
I've had more fun here.
Architecture, etc.: Plenty of parking, off Rt. 310. Come in through a metal detector, emptying pockets. Then putting stuff back in pockets. Then greeted by a gent…

Fun but not as fun as it used to be
This is gonna be a strange review because this is a strange place. David Lynch isn’t dead — he’s just back in Philly. (Oh wait, didn’t he think Philly was hell when he was…

A 20 minute visit.
Since there are 711 prior reviews, I'm skipping the architecture and layout.
It was a rainy early evening -- like 5 PM -- when I arrived. The parking lot was mostly empty.…

So Much Better than It Used to Be!

A shadow of its former self.
This is a peep-booth/private room arrangement to the side of an adult store. There's an upstairs lounge but that's really for men trying to make new friends with other men.
The "dance area"…

Productive early evening visit.
This club is at the far end of the Passyunk Ave bridge, right underneath a jumbo billboard for personal injury lawyers. Would you really hire lawyers because they advertised over a titty bar?…

Sometimes It's a Soap Opera
Y'know, I don't know what to say, I've become Athena's property and I can't seem to go there when she's not there. I usually go early evening on a week-end evening.
Architecture etc.…

A Good Time for What It Is.
This is a summary of several visits. It's an adult novelties store with "booth girls" off to the left. There are butt plugs, inflate-a-mates, functional undergarments/lingerie and various other kindred gee-gaws and doo-dads.…

Efficiency
This is not a strip club -- it's more or less a peep show. It's a gray building with a gravel parking lot. I showed up about 5:30. Parking lot was kind…

It was what it was.
So, when they ask "how are the people," do they mean the dancers, the 'tender, the guy who counts dances?
Field trip reports from two visits sorta . . .
Purple cube at the end…

Some days are better than others. This wasn't one of them.
I arrived at the purple cube building a bit after 3 PM on a rainy Tuesday. The usual required architectural stuff is at the end.
There were 4 or 5 dancers present:…
