What Happened?

This used to be my favorite club in Tampa. I could always depend on anywhere from vey nice to spectacular dancers, and as much fun as I could afford to pay for.This trip to Tampa, if figured, where better to spend some time and money on a Friday night. When I arrived, it was all familiar. The long stage still dominated the center of the room. The LD areas were still on three sides of the room. All that was missing were the dancers and the customers. Actually, initially there wasn't even anyone behind the bar to sell me a $5 bottle of water. There was a dancer on stage that appeared neither suited nor interested in being in the entertainment business. I had already paid the cover charge, so I figured it made sense to wait a bit. Finally an attractive, young AA dancer came on stage. I thought things were looking up. When she approached me after her performance, I was pretty sure that things were looking up. We decided to try a LD in back. I paid the bartender the $5 room fee and we went in back, entered a sort of private stall, and then it hit me. Sufficient body oder to make my eyes water. It would have been a good time otherwise, but talk about a buzz-kill. I miss what Scarlett's used to be.
