Probably best as discussion on the club’s page.

Minor correction: Fantasies is located in Curtis Bay, not Dundalk. (Christina’s is located near Dundalk.)

@razorman: “Mandatory ID Scan” is displayed as one of the ‘features’ on the club page. For example, Fantasies in Baltimore has a Mandatory ID Scan: https://tuscl.net/listing.php?id=1964

Pay to park in the parking lot?? There’s never been any charge to park. And I stop by Haven two or three times a month. (COVID not withstanding). Occasionally the lot is full, so street parking is an option.

“Desertscrub gets all the sympathy.” @JG: You’re an idiot. Nobody on this thread expressed sympathy or defended Desertscrub. Most everyone on this thread stood up for Skittles. Rightfully so! Get a clue before posting.

I’ve seen between as short as 3 minutes and as long as 30 years and counting.

The downtown Baltimore Marriott is literally across the street from The Goddess. And the Hilton is one block from there, which is across from the baseball stadium https://tuscl.net/listing.php?id=1958. It’s not a bad club, but not great either. I wouldn’t fly into Baltimore just for that. But if you’re already in town for another reason, it’s a good choice if you don’t want to drive/Uber.

Sometimes clubs have a difficult time getting ones from the bank. Recently my bank’s branch installed an ATM that dispenses forty $1s at a time. So I’ve started get those $1s along with a bunch of $20s for an evening at the club. A different bank I use has an ATM that dispenses $100s, which is handy for OTC fun.

Five or six per year. IRS and Maryland Comptroller if I have income tax due. (Refunds this year). And a few charitable contributions if I want a paper trail of the contribution but I don’t want to get added to their mailing list. I had my checks printed with no home address; just name and city.

I need to travel more… Canada 🇨🇦 Korea 🇰🇷 El Salvador 🇸🇻 Russia 🇷🇺 Botswana 🇧🇼 Brazil 🇧🇷

It will suck (and not in a good way) for all of those Russian cam girls just trying to make a living. Of course, I imagine the situation for the Ukrainian cam girls is much worse.

When I add notes about a stripper into my modern-day little black book (aka burner cell phone), I will often add a note regarding a celeb woman they resemble. This help me remember them. I have an Ariel Winters, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Brooklyn Decker. Many years ago, another customer gently teased a dancer coming off stage: “You’re walking like Peg Bundy!”

I drove past Tony’s last night after visiting another nearby club. This time I saw a “For Sale - Adult Entertainment” sign on the building.

Andrew is still 9th in line to the throne. And since he also makes the top four of those in line to the throne who are over the age of 21, he is also a Counsellor of State. Which means he has the authority to perform certain actions reserved for the queen in the event that she is temporarily incapacitated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counsellor_of_State

The latest article (Feb 18) on The Block https://www.baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md-pol-the-block-compromise-20220218-6tyonyzj6baj3o3ves3o3psktm-story.html Bars and clubs on The Block would chip in to pay for extra police patrols on Baltimore’s main adult entertainment strip under a potential compromise struck between the city’s politicians and some of the venues to avoid a threatened 10 p.m. last call. Eight of the clubs agreed to a framework of paying two off-duty Baltimore police officers to patrol the nightlife district three nights a week, and also to spell out security rules, including cameras with footage readily available to detectives, Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson said Friday. But not all the club owners and operators are on board with the deal or open to the idea of ponying up more cash to pay for extra officers. Owners or managers affiliated with nine other clubs said Friday they hadn’t agreed to anything and first heard of the supposed compromise from various media. Club owners had said a 10 p.m. last call would almost certainly doom their businesses and put their staff out of work because the vast majority of their patrons — and profits — hit The Block late at night. Several bristled Friday at the possibility of paying for additional costs, saying current taxes already are more than they can afford. “I don’t think we’re interested in paying more,” John Sachs, the operator of Chez Joey, said Friday. “We pay more as an adult entertainment club than any bar or restaurant in Baltimore City when it comes to taxes.” The Hustler Club was among the The Block establishments represented in talks with lawmakers over the proposed compromise. It wasn’t immediately clear which other entities had agreed to the framework that state lawmakers unveiled in a Friday news release. A spokesman for Ferguson did not identify them. The precise details of the potential deal, including just how much it might cost each business to fund extra patrols or add other security measures, remain to be hashed out. The Block refers to a short stretch of E. Baltimore Street and Custom House Avenue teeming with adult entertainment venues. The early 10 p.m. closing was part of state legislation backed by Ferguson and delegates Luke Clippinger, Robbyn Lewis and Brooke Lierman — all Democrats whose districts include The Block. Ferguson said he’s now planning to amend the bill to remove the early closure and include the plans for extra off-duty patrols and additional security requirements. “My goal has always been to open lines of communication to create a safer environment and reduce the drain on law enforcement resources,” Ferguson said. It’s unclear whether other Baltimore lawmakers support the proposals to restrict The Block. The blessing of a jurisdiction’s delegation is generally required before lawmakers from elsewhere in Maryland pass local regulations. Baltimore attorney Frank Boston III, who’s representing the Hustler Club as well as AMW Investments Inc., owner of the historic Gaiety Theater on The Block that houses the Hustler Club and two neighboring strip clubs, said he was part of the talks and the tentative agreement appeared to be in the best interest of everyone involved. Boston said he wasn’t sure what the cost of extra policing would be. But he hoped that, split up across The Block, it would be reasonable and affordable. Other security measures like high-quality exterior cameras and doormen equipped with metal-detecting wands are already common practice on The Block, Boston said, but would be codified in a formal requirement. “The goal is that if there’s an off-duty police presence with the ability to arrest, who is in uniform, then that will be a great deterrent to potential criminal elements coming to The Block,” Boston said. “We want to send a message that if you come down, you must behave.” Messages left with other Baltimore attorneys who regularly represent clubs on The Block were not immediately returned. “I was completely caught off-guard to read this,” said Jules Gordon, owner of the Circus Show Bar. Gordon said his brother, Paul, who owns the Jewel Box four doors down, hadn’t heard about it either. Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison pushed for an earlier closing time for all of The Block’s bars and clubs. Harrison has argued that unruly crowds outside the clubs, especially around the current last call of 2 a.m., is a major drain on police manpower. He said violent crime has been on the rise in the area, a sharply disputed claim that’s difficult to verify in publicly available crime data. Club owners have questioned whether violence is any worse on The Block than outside rowdy bars in other popular nightlife areas in the city. The owners said they were unfairly targeted by the legislation, arguing that their bouncers control patrons inside the bars, but that there’s little they can do about what happens on the sidewalks. The Block, packed with clubs a stone’s throw from City Hall and Baltimore police headquarters, has been a noted presence in Baltimore for decades. Once home to vaudeville and burlesque theaters, it’s now home to 14 of Baltimore’s 27 licensed adult entertainment venues. It has been whittled down over the years by municipal construction projects and weathered intermittent previous efforts since the 1970s by politicians and liquor inspectors to shut down, clean up or transform The Block.

I second The Americans. The final half hour was simultaneously sentimental and heart wrenching. And Mad Men. Ending with the fictional creation of the most iconic commercial of the era was brilliant and believable.

Another restaurant along I-79 in West Virginia is called “Three Way Inn”. I always thought it would be an interesting name for a high-mileage SC…

Yep, I submitted this information into the Update Listing link for this club right after submitting this info for the public.

My OTC fav and I will often give each other a rubdown in the hotel room as part of foreplay. We use just enough oil to lubricate the skin, adding a little more as needed when progressing to a new area of the body. So it does make too much mess. And we have a towel handy to mop up any excess. We’ve never had a problem. There is minimal transfer of oil to the hotel sheets. I got several bottles of plain, generic baby oil and augmented it with favorite scents from the essential oil shelves at Whole Foods.

I concur with many of those listed above. I would also add: Dolly Parton Eva Cassidy Lady Gaga
