oh yeah, one more thing about this whole: he just wanted to get caught, he was at a mcdonald's blah blah did you know just before the McDonald's he went to a local hotel or motel for lodging. but was turned down. guy said come back at 1pm, they're cleaning the rooms. It was the 9am hour. dude was like, how should i kill time it's 9am. so he went to the mcdonald's and turned on his laptop trying to kill time to get to 1pm. remember: dude don't have a car with him. all he has is his backpack for some change of clothes, maybe. again, he's been on the run for days. i'm sure he was low on supplies, etc. needed a shower, needed a meal, needed rest. he's on foot. the hotel told him come back at 1pm for a room. he had no other choice, it' was 9am-ish.

my only problem with this story: folks saying they think Luigi wanted to get caught or captured and why was he at a McDonald's blah blah. ugh. look, y'all. to me it's obvious: dude put all of his planning on the murder. and you have to put all focus on the murder just to get it right. that he forgot to have a solid escape plan. but really, you're doing a killing like that, to a CEO, you must make all your murder plans work. the escape plan is sooo secondary. and somehow a waste to make an escape plan in a way because one thing goes wrong in the escape plan, everything goes wrong. maybe he goofed with his original plan and that's why his escape plan was awful? like, they say he had monopoly money on him. they say maybe the plan was to throw monopoly money on the CEO or something after shooting him. but he forgot to. so maybe he had plans for his other props like monopoly money and that's why he didn't flee the country or toss the gun, etc. and can't y'all see? dude had been in NYC for like several days. don't y'all realize, this cat ain't home. he has to take everything with him in a back pack. he's temporarily of no fixed address. i'm not surprised he still had his gun and manifesto on him, etc. he's nomadic. he's moving around a lot. he doesn't have a permanent base. of course he has to carry everything with him wherever he goes, that includes the gun, the manifesto, crime evidence. he was caught at mcdonald's during breakfast. mcdonald's may have been the only thing open in that area. or the only thing he could afford at the moment. remember: he's of no immediate nearby fixed address. we don't know if he hasn't slept, hasn't eaten, because he has no home in NYC or Pennsylvania. and I can see the folks at mcdonald's ratting him out. because it depends on which area you're in. sounds like he was in a blue-collar area. them blue collar folks don't take too kindly to folks with covid masks on. and he's on a laptop that early in the morning at mcdonald's sticking out like a sore thumb. if he needs a laptop, why isn't he in some office, somewhere, those local residents are asking themselves. this is a blue-collar town, who comes in with their laptop at breakfast and a Covid mask? it was pretty simple to figure out this guy could be the killer on TV. and this dude is only 26 years old. if he were 35, he wouldn't have been making half the mistakes we saw.

yeah, man, i'll die on this hill. think about it. remember: once we bought the album or the cassette of our favorite songs, back in the day, it was quite a different experience being at a dance club, or being at a strip club and hearing that song mega-loud vs playing the song loud as you can in your house. it was better. at home, maybe some didn't like your music, so you had to keep the thrash music, the hard core rap music, the speed metal music, the death metal music, the explicit lyrics music, you had to keep that at a certain volume level. but don't know know you could hear ANYTHING at the strip club. especially if you went a lot. strip clubs are open for hours and hours. playing non-stop music. you were guaranteed to hear everything at a strip club. B-sides of songs. Entire albums. Bonus tracks. girls told other girls. hey come to the club i'm dancing at they play great music. was the music really great? no. it's just that the average person didn't have the money to pay for all that music. but we found one person, the DJ who somehow collected all this music from God knows where and played it all night, with cussing, and mixing, you name it. at the strip club, you could bang music as loud as you wanted. there was a sweet spot in time where awesome local girls worked the strip club because they were into the music that was playing there. not only could girls hear interesting music they just didn't always hear on the radio, guys would shower them with money too. This woulda went on forever and ever, but someone decided to put music FREE online and killed the party. Now everyone has access to FREE music all the time, and now music bores the hell outta everyone. A song comes out on Monday. By Wednesday we know the entire song. Not because it's played all the time. But with YouTube, Spotify, Pandora, you can hit the REPLY button all day long and learn any song quick fast. It absolutely wasn't like this back in the day. A song came out, it took you awhile to know the entire song really well. Without YouTube, etc. You had to rely on listening to it on your cassette tape, on your record player and it wasn't enough, it took you time. Nowadays a song comes out on Monday, you can download it free, you rebel, have it on your cell phone, have it as your ringtone, have it playing on your Google, have Alexa play it for your in all the rooms of your house. I'm telling you: remove everyone's access to music, watch the clubs / discos and strip clubs go back to crowded nights again.

i'm a die on this goddamn hill, arguing this until i'm blue in the face: i've ranted & raved before...the real reason strip clubs are dying, and late night in general is dying, etc is because of.....YouTube. yes, ok, it's also the price of the cover charge, the cost of parking, the cost of drinks at the bar, the price of lapdances, whatever. but if you ask me, put all that aside. the true reason strip clubs are dying is: YOUTUBE. hear me out, y'all: nowadays, any music is featured on YouTube. You can find old-school, new school, and even albums that just came out today as in this morning are already on YouTube. This is what's killing strip clubs and dance clubs / discos. you see, back in the day, we didn't have YouTube. So, when you liked a song, you had to tape it off the radio with your cassettes or actually go out of your house to buy it or go out of your house to go to a club or disco to hear it. That's why clubs were packed back in the day. It was a sweet deal. You'd pay $10-20 to get in to the club and you'd hear a bunch of your favorite songs all night. Before YouTube, going to the club was YouTube. how does strip clubs come in? glad you asked! girls always love hearing different music but don't always know where to go to hear it. like: girls liked ratchet and hard core rap music. but didn't know where to go to hear it and most importantly to enjoy it. going to some dance clubs were just too dangerous. strip clubs were the answer. at a strip club, girls could enjoy music they didn't have the money to buy and hear the DJ arranged all the music expertly all night long. Then YouTube came. Now, girls have access to all types of music they can enjoy. What do they need a strip club for? Same with discos / dance clubs. People stopped going because now we have our own FREE access to all the music we could ever want, in YouTube and Spotify and Pandora. Nobody realized all these years, all this time, it' wasn't really that people in the 70s enjoyed going to Studio 54 or that people in the 80s and 90s enjoyed raves, clubbing, etc. We didn't have access to The MUSIC. We couldn't afford every single song we liked. That's what we paid the DJ, the collector of music to do every weekend, show off his music collection. That's all raves, dance clubs were. We went to a warehouse and paid the DJ, the cat who collected music and they in-turn showed off their music collection and then we danced and went home. We did this for years and decades. Until YouTube put all of our music on the internet. Now we have 24/7 hour access to all the music we could ever want and we stopped going to strip clubs stopped going to raves and late night clubs, etc. it was always, always about the music. i'll die on this hill

small world, I'm on chess.com too. I can only play the entry simple bot level. Everything else wipes the floor with me.

Oh and I never checked the news to see if anyone claimed anything. I wasn't much of a gambler or lottery player. I never noticed if there were any stories, coulda been and I never thought to pay attention...

Yep.. Since 2004, anyone running for any office, my SERIOUS answer was always the same, if I was, like, asked with a gun to my head or on TV: I don't care who they are, don't underestimate them. Anyone can win.

Wow! She's awesome

catch me at a rally I got the whole crowd chantin MAGA, MAGA, MAGA! Let's go Brandon! #TrumpBars

bitches on they knees, call me Papa Trump but I stay runnin' for the people. Ugh. Forrest Gump. #bars

https://www.restaurant-55.com/ check out the pictures inside. see, this is kinda what it kinda once kinda looked like as a strip club. back when it was hopping. i'm sure they've made more furniture changes. i'm saying this is kinda gonna give you an idea of what it could've looked like in there as a strip club. now imagine that just disappearing after covid. imagine that just disappearing when it's been around since the 1990s. imagine that just disappearing after 4 US Presidencies --- Clinton, Bush II, Obama, Trump all of a sudden. imagine being there for every reinvention and seeing it still survive. yeah and i remember them serving food in the latter years as a strip club. so it seems now it's gone fully serving food. might have to check this place out.

YAY! I GOT MY ANSWER! DON'T MEAN TO YELL, BUT I WANTED Y'ALL TO KNOW THERE IS AN ANSWER! SUPER FUEGO IS NOW JUST A REGULAR CLUB FOR CIVVIES / CIVILIANS. IT'S NOW CALLED 'RESTAURANT 55'. SEE, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT STRIP CLUB THAT WAS BORN IN THE 1990s, WENT THROUGH DIFFERENT IDENTITIES AND NAME CHANGES AND BUSINESS MODELS WOULD JUST VANISH....BECAUSE OF COVID? REALLY? SO, .YO, THIS STRIP CLUB HAS RE-INVENTED ITSELF ONCE MORE, I GUESS. IT'S NOW A REGULAR LOUNGE. CALLED RESTAURANT 55. I WAS GONNA SAY. I MEAN, THEY HAD ALL THAT FURNITURE THERE. MAN. THEY REMODELED THAT PLACE AND STUFF. I MEAN, I COULDN'T BELEIVE THEY'D JUST LIQUIDATE ALL THAT STUFF WHEN THEY'VE RE-INVENTED THEMSELVES SO MANY TIMES BEFORE. YAY! SO GLAD I GOT MY ANSWER. AND THE WORLD CONTINUES TO MAKE SENSE.

check out the wnba standings link or you can google it. you see, at first in the beginning of the year, the 2 bad teams were the washington mystics and the indiana fever. remember they were winless the first handful of games. someone must've noticed: 4 teams stay home and don't go to the playoffs outta the 12. if caitlyn's team ain't 1 of the 8 teams in the playoffs "noone" will watch. she's gotta be in. but the indiana fever were losing all their first handful of games. i'm guessing someone sent the memo to all teams, gonna have to flop like lebron a game or two so indiana gets in the playoffs. if i were a betting man, i'd bet that caitlyn and the indiana fever appear in the wnba playoffs. they gotta be. otherwise the viewers won't watch? so that means teams gonna have to lose game just so she can be there. right?

If you have Facebook, just type 'Super Fuego DMV' and check out their FB page. Keep in mind March 2020 is when Covid shut everything down. March 202O are the last posts of Super Fuego in FB. They were offering food. They were closing late. They were keeping up with the website... They had radio ads on the radio, man! Announcing the upcoming weekend each coming weekend. Just disappears. SMH.

Thanks for the responses. I know businesses change and times change. No one needs to wonder why Super Fuego closed. But hold up. I wonder. Because something isn't adding up. Just when it comes to Fuego. lol. Someone mentioned: PG County. Yes; true. PG County shut down a bunch of its iconic legendary strip clubs: Sinsaysionals, Irving's, Harley Riders. But PG County did that in 2016. I'll never forget the year because it was the year all the celebs died: Muhammad Ali, Price, Princess Leia, David Bowie. 2016. Fuego survived that. So did Sinsaysionals; both survived the 2016 axe. Sinsay didn't die until 2022. Believe it or not, the original Diablo's was arguably walking distance to Showcase theater strip club. And Showcase is still around. Now Body Shop is neighbors with Showcase. And I wouldn't be surprised if Body Shop is somehow the reincarnated Fuego. But I don't think so. The numbers don't add up to me. Showcase Theater is still around. Sinsaysionals was struggling hard before it died in 2022. But Fuego had reinventef itself 4 different times. Dint mind me, I'm just thinking aloud here. Again, I started going to Diablo's in the late 90s. Same time I heard about Showcase Theater. So let's say Diablo's is roughly 20 years old since it died in 2020. We could loosely say, the exaggerated story of Diablo's is a story of 4 quarters like football. We can loosely say the first quarter was 5 years: Diablo's not to far from Showcase theater which is still around today. A hole in the wall strip club. Forgettable. Quaint. Modest. Second Quarter: D2s -- took the first name of Diablo's and decided to make it's second coming. Now moved into a different building, county. A big warehouse, no furniture, tons of wasted space. Still in anonymity. Still a hole in the wall, strip club like any. It's now been this way for 2 quarters, 5 yrs Diablo's, roughly 5 years as D2. Third quarter: name change. Furniture. Neon lights. Next 5 years. More Dancers. International dancers. Notoriety. Local fame. Buzz on the street. Name change of Fuego salutes the original Diablo's theme : Spanish, devil, fire. We are now roughly 15 years in. Fourth quarter: last name change. Super Fuego now. This last 5 years is to maintain the grind of the first 5 and to keep it going. But it's not working. Yet there are constant radio ads. One of the very very very few strip clubs with constant radio ads on local radio. People would get upset these radio ads came on during the afternoon every once in awhile by mistake where kids could hear. Seemed like everyone had been to Super Fuego's once, even if you knew nothing about strip clubs or hated them.. Then Covid hits and the spot punts in re-opening. What gives? This venture had now gone 20 years. Successfully reinventing itself. Many DMV stripclubs have not moved locations. Few have gone through any name changes. Diablo's did that and more. Diablo's seemed to be a survivor. Diablo's seemed to have an armor. We are now 4 years post Covid and Super Fuego is still gone 4 yrs later. What happened? There are stripclubs in the area clinging for deal life but still around. This should've been Super Fuego in 2023 once a 'neighbor' of Showcase Theater which is still around, never moved from its general block. It's like watching someone get married 4 times and 5 years after their 4th marriage suddenly committing suicide. You're like don't tell me your 4th marriage ain't make you happy lol. I expected Fuego to move again. Or switch up again the business model. Something. Not just die lol

Sorry, I don't get what the OP is asking or if any conclusions can be made. Way I see it: strip clubs are random. I use to offhand wonder if strip clubs are near colleges. But they aren't; just because a few I knew were. There's been a real-life stripclub like a mile from The White House for decades. Yes, Thee White House. Strip clubs are random, man. They can kinda hatch anywhere. Florida has more churches per capital than any US state, right? Or something like that. But ain't it only behind Texas in number of stripclubs? Populations change. Vermont and New Hampshire ain't got many or any stripclubs. That could change with any population shift.

By the way, when it was Diablo's it was the mid-to late 90s when I first visited this club. It went from the late 90s to 2020. Some strip clubs are like roaches in a house. Always around, just can't kill it. I wouldn't care if I hadn't seen it reinvent itself so many times and be a survivor. I can't believe it 'died'...

The way I remember it: local politicians wanted to dissolve all the strip clubs in the county. So one year, to achieve that, they thought: what if we made it nearly impossible for these SC to renew their liquor license, all the SCs would have to close due to losing money from lower liquor sales. But it backfired. The SCs one after the other dumped serving liquor at their spots altogether. And patronage actually increased. Dudes who stopped going to the strip clubs returned now that there was no alcohol and no vomit everywhere and drunken fights and DUIs. The strip clubs started offering more juice and sodas and dudes were grabbing that. Dudes and dancers were digging the changed atmosphere of everyone being sober, now both dancers and johns were clear-headed. The county politicians regretted this backfire. I'd how I remember it. To this day some of those SCs that are still open still don't serve alcohol. I remember how overjoyed some owners were that area SC owners were all dropping the alcohol licenses and saving money from that process and headaches. It's how I remember it...

lol y'all focused the Dancing Bear example of mine way too much. I just mentioned Dancing Bear as an offhand example, yo. How did this turn into 'I'm not gonna watch a guy get head in a strip club' thread. That's not the question here. The basic question was: if a Strip Club is filming something minor and posted it online and you're visible appearing in the background, would it upset you. I just posted the Dancing Bear as an example. And I get how some were like, it's all acting and the ladies are in on it for the Dancing Bear. Sure. But what about 10-15 years down the road when that lady got a family and kids and she's a different person than a decade ago. I'm also asking because you may also be like with all the money I spent at this damn SC, I'm cool with appearing in the background of a video. This SC may not be around forever. It's nice I was captured partying there. I was in this situation. Walked in the SC and there were professional cameras all around. They were taping a commercial for the club that would appear in Vimeo. At first I avoided the cameras but it was impossible. Then I thought it'd be cool to appear in the background. Just for a second, tho. Now it's been like a decade later and that SC has been gone like 7 years now. The owner was murdered or something. I don't know where that commercial is. But I do see their vids on Vimeo. I don't see myself in any of them which is a relief. But now that this SC is all gone, it's like, damn now I wouldn't be upset if I appeared briefly in a vid, the SC is all gone now..

kids today will 'never' know about: * watching non-stop music videos on MTV, BET, VH-1, after school * watching daily video countdown shows on MTV and BET * local mom-and-pop VHS / DVD video stores with an Adult / XXX section behind a curtain * playing pick-up football games after school with fellow kids from the neighborhood * hanging out at an arcade with a pocket full of quarters * Cereal commercials for a wide array of different morning cereals * floppy disks for computers * non-electric typewriters * public city bus daily paper transfers tickets * white correction tape for typewriters

I wish I remembered the url or her name. Wish I wrote it down. Again, I don't have a problem if she hookers on Backpage or on Onlyfans. Because: it's not on 'Front Street'. She put herself on front street. The name of her 1-man business was like let's say 'Liberty Tugs'. I remember she had images of the American flags waving on her site. So, I'm telling you, her site was like www.libertytugs dot.com or something like it, where you could accidentally find it, not looking for anything sexual. See what I mean? At least wear a mask or hide your face somehow, nope, she had her full face there with rates. Someone mentioned it could be a phony sting site; I hadn't thought of that, but if I remember correctly a very mild acquaintance of mine claimed to offhand know her and confirmed she was a local dancer. If I remember right. If she was a middle-aged woman, who cares. I mean live your life at that point. She was a college-aged kid. Like, how many other college aged kids you know has their own website where they alone maintain and advertise tug jobs. Now, she was onto something: nowadays we have OnlyFans. But you gotta register into the site, right? Her website was easily googled lol. If you're just a face in the crowd on Backpage, I got no problems. You know why? Anyone can steal arandom person's image a post a phony ad on Backpage. And get away with it. I can't see someone stealing someone's image just for one website and maintaining that same 1-girl image, especially if the 1-girl happens to be a local. Again, she was kinda onto something because now there's OnlyFans. Wasn't around back then. How does she feel her classmates could see this?

like how did law enforcement not just roll up on her? she was local too...
