Given Dean MacBale's abundant legal problems, criminal and civil, Federal and State, I decided to check the place out a few times over the last month and visit with some of my old ATF's before it is no longer possible. Some things are the same, some have changed, even over the last month.

Some things are the same:

- The seats are jammed together to the extent that you can't walk around in the club. This, despite the fact that half the venue is empty since the Oregon Lottery seized the video crack machines.

- Most of the women working the stages are gorgeous. None of them actually dance, but that's not why I come here.
