Closing soon

Safari has been in business for quite a few years, and the building used to house Doc's Bar & Grill back in the 90's - mid 2000's. But now the place is closing and will be torn down to make room for affordable housing. There has been construction underway behind the Safari parking lot for some time, and rumors have been floating around about the possible demise of the building, but now it's been officially reported in the local news media. The City of Portland will pay $3.7M for the lot. See http://www.opb.org/news/article/portland-oregon-strip-club-lot-affordable-housing/ for the full story.

I have mixed feelings about this as I've had a love/hate relationship with Safari. Sometimes it's a lot of fun with hot dancers and occasionally really naughty private dances, but most of the time it's just average with no dancers that catch my eye. I'm not one to eat at strip clubs, but I've heard from reliable sources that the steaks there are really good. Oh well, at least this deal will provide a good service to the community. RIP Safari. They will close permanently by September 30th.
