I had to kill time in the area so I went to the Star Strip for the first time in about 20 years. 2025 is a fair estimate of when I'll next return.

Dark, shabby, depressing. The atmosphere is everything that makes you feel ashamed to be in a strip joint. The ladies were in perfect harmony with the atmosphere. No enthusiasm, no pretense of "glad to see you".

I only saw about five dancers, which was about how many patrons were in the place. None of them seemed especially attractive but with that lighting in those surroundings, the Playmate of the Year would have looked like Ed Asner in drag. I felt sorry for the dancers working there, which is why I'm not giving it a lower grade.
