The saga of strip clubs in...

The saga of strip clubs in Goldsboro is getting complicated.

First, there were Sid's Showgirls and Teaser's. Teaser's, by the way, has been open in Goldsboro since the 1960s, or so the owner/manager at the time told me. Strangely, in a town filled with military guys, there seems to be no way to keep two strip clubs open, so Sid's closed down for a while. Then, after a highly-publicized murder at Teaser's, a recent history of thuggery and violence, and even an attempt to convert the club into something like an urban talent night for a couple of nights a week, Teaser's lost its liquor license. Teaser's fought to get the liquor license back, but the damage was done (in combination with the club's reputation for becoming a halfway house between Goldsboro and several major prisons). Teaser's closed.

So now, many of the dancers and bouncers from Teaser's have moved over to the newly-reopened Sid's Showgirls. Call it Teaser's II, hopefully without the prospect of future murders.
