As an erstwhile regular here for 10 years when it was Personalities, owned and managed by a 40 + lady named Janice - She also danced on stage and gave some of the most liberal, almost nude, lap dances that I've ever had. I was devastated when it closed, about a year ago; and Janice seemingly left this type of business. If anyone know where she is, please post it.

After rehab a few months later it, the Bada Bing (on Gandy, St. Pete) folks made several abortive attempts to open as Sweethearts, then G Spot. I live about 3 miles away and for a few months, when I stopped by, the odds were about even that it would be closed. Typical occupancy: 2 dancers (almost never on stage), 1-2 customers, a manager and a barkeep. Was told they were doing a "soft" opening (which last 4-5 months) until they got their liquor license. Finally started staying open and trying to act upscale. IMHO - it didn't work. Not much improvement, unless you're heavily into hard liquor!

I haven't been there for about 5 weeks. Plan to go shortly and will post and update then.
