to add: a suspended anesthesiologist: who was suspended for coming to work drunk.

I've been told just about every profession. A list of the ones I know to be fact: Assistant golf pro - she and her husbanmd lived next door to a fraternity roommate parents and met her at a neighborhood party while in school. Elementary school art teacher and a high school English teacher - both friends from college Senior product manager for P&G - friend from high school that went nuts quit her day job and after starting sucking cock for a living. Med tech vampire -- she took blood for lab test from me. real estate agent - was at a open house hair stylist -salon down the street from where I lived, used to cut my sister's hair secretary at one of my suppliers car sales - my buddy bought a car from her make up sales at Nieman Marcus I'm sure the list is longer but that is all I can recall.

I'd not last long on the ex pat sites you read... no wife wanted, no submissive wanted. I do hate leftist(communists, socialist, fascists) but not liberals. As to skin pigment -- could not care less. Belize or Costa Rica are on my list of retirement place to look into. The Elvis is everywhere.

a soon to be classic --"Ankle Boot- "Do not look at my kankles""

Beat-- define your definition of right wing. Libertarian leaning, financial conservative, or religious/moral.. or anywhere in between.

Good review --- I've not stepped foot in there for over 20 years. It is the place worn out dancers go to end their careers, new ones go to learn (because they will hire anyone to hustle drinks) and just having birthed dancer go to get their "confidence" back.

Three strippers walk into a bar, the fourth one ducks

about 30 years ago early to mid 1990's. There was a place called Pinky's in Cleveland, Oh. One night (Wed or Thurs around 11PM) I'm meeting a buddy there, I back into a parking spot and wait for him, he pulls on and backs into the spot next to me. The parking lot was on the opposite side of the building (north-side) to the entrance. A series of pops happen and see a guy busting ass around the back corner of the building, followed by a dancer with a Saturday night special blasting away at him. Just so happens that the vice unit was doing a operation in the parking lot that night. The cops get out and throw the dancer on the hood of my buddies truck with him still in it and the gun in her hand pointing right at his chest. Cops take the gun from her and cuff and stuff her and call for a car to take her to jail. Of course we need to give a witness statement. Picky's was the lowest of the low rent places in Cleveland back then and having your name associated in a police report was not a thing to be proud of. After all was said and done, it turns out that the boyfriend came into the place and starting beating on the dancer, and she pulled out a gun from her purse and started shooting at him. She emptied the magazine and never hit him and by the time the gun was pointed at my buddy's chest it was empty... thank god for little miracles. Got to spend an hour with Cleveland's finest and never made it into the club. But both of us walked away.

35 year ago maybe longer, ran across a "club" in rural mountains of WV and had to stop. A road side run down three store front single story building. Upon entering was told it was a byob place and if i wanted any thing but soft drinks I could go next door to the package store. The other store front was a gun and fishing shop that doubled as the local jail and the owner of all three places was the chief of police (btw the only officer in the town). Opted for just a soda since I still had an hour plus to get to my final destination. Dances were $7 a piece and all I had on me was on $20 and a few $50's. The bar could not break a $50 for the soda so I spent the $20. Sat at the tip rail and blew the balance of the change. Old and not too attractive hill lady folk dancing until a young supple one came on stage. Chatted her up and decided to get a dance or more... knowing that if the bar could not break a $50 neither could she. Got a few dances and gave her the bill -- of course I cannot make change because we don't see many bills this big in here, BUT here is where the evening got weird. Turns out two of the other dancers were her Mother and Grandmother and all three would put on a show for the change. I left feeling disturbed and knowing I'd have a good story to tell at some point in my life. Seems now is the time to tell it.

Rod8432 -- if it was the brass ass (maybe bull) in Newport.. all you needed to do was get to know the House Mom and she would let you use the little room off the dressing room for "VIP" private dances. The old expression from Cinci guys was go to Covington or Newport "to bang the bridges".

no order: Rhiannon Giddens Ronnie Specter many from above

gated private lot -- with an attendant, self park, tons of cameras and floor guys do check the lot on a regular basis. your car might get stolen (unlikely, but the projects are at the top of the hill and it has been know to happen in spurts) but unlikely to be broken into.

I finally agree with minnow.... unless the management or the city police have changed, there was no roaming hands in the past. spacious? the place is about 1500 square feet at best and not much more than 1000 square feet of seating and stage. it is clean and relatively updated.

^shadowcat --- I remember that place and BT down by Graceland..... Memphis was a fun city late 80's early 90's

Circus, Mickey Finns and the old theater on short Vincent..... damn Cleveland was once a seedy city after dark.

That's when Circus was at it best.. before Hustler bought it and then had to move it the other side when the building was sold. Topless side and nude side.

Was working a summer job at the company my father worked for and went with an employee to pick up some parts from a vendor. He was a biker and there was a biker strip club across the street from the vendor. Since it was lunch time when we loaded up the parts, he took me across the street for lunch. Had a pretty good burger, a lap dance and a blow job at 13 yeas old. Tetradon --- if you are over mid fifties closer to 60, you might have heard of the place. The old Circus was a blast.

I second whodey..... the place is not even on my radar. If I drive by, I don;t even check the parking lot.

topless is normally $20 and the nude rooms are $30

25 Years ago or so the only city I have ever had a issue in was Memphis. Got stuck there for a week for work. Three clubs in the area of the hotel. I decide to go to the furthest one and work my way back towards the hotel. About 8pm or so I get to the first stop, go in, not many customers and order a beer. The bartender kind of side eyes me and gives me my beer and asks where I'm from. Tell him Ohio, he says Memphis is not like Ohio. Says the beer is on him and to drink it and get out before the place starts to fill up. Confused I ask why. He says that it's a black club and I should not be there later in the night. He goes on to tell me that the next place on my list is a Hispanic club and I'd not be welcomed there either and I should make my way to the last planned stop since it is the white club. Seems at the time the folks used the unwritten rule of self segregation. Hope it has changed because the women at the first club were much better looking than the last place. Other than that.. in 40 years never had a problem in any city, in any club regardless of the customer mix. But after working in nightclubs for years, I am also very aware of my surroundings. Also, I'm selective in the neighborhoods I'll visit when I'm unfamiliar city.

Maybe Hush...... but not Boom Boom

^ read your comment on working day shift. Both are hit or miss during the day... Brunswick is opening later in the afternoon and Bedford still has a lunch open.

None of the Cleveland clubs have a gown dress code any more. Best money: Downtown, Christies and Hustler as mentioned can be cut throat on weekends east side: bedford for crazy horse south: Christies brunswick - lots of regulars and younger crowd on weekends. maybe the least amount of dance drama in the area... management changes all the time so if not your scene this week try next week. airport: I stay away from there the last few years. Every place I'd stop in was want a be drug dealers and strung out dances. maybe thing have changed, but I work in that neighborhood and is an area in decline.

just about anything from Rhiannon Giddens one of the purest voices
