The same...in a good way.

Was coming back home down 80 this past Saturday and decided to make a quick pit stop into El Cab. I hadn't been there in a long time. It was always good for what it was and this night was no different. As has been discussed many times before, this part of Paterson may look rough for people not used to a more urban environment, but it's actually pretty safe if you don't act like an ass.

I got into town around 11ish and parked across the street. With the colder weather, the bouncer was just on the inside of the door. The bar was pretty full but not to the point of being packed. I grabbed a seat near the door by the front tv and grabbed a bottle of water. Looking down the bar I saw about eight or nine girls. Some were hanging out by the far end of the bar keeping to themselves. The rest were making the rounds chatting up guys. Hit the mens room (More like a dirty closet) and on my way back to my seat a nicely shaped girl stopped me and asked me how my night was going. (She seemed genuinely concerned!). I think her name was Sofi or Sophia. After some small talk she gave me a nice grind and asked if I wanted a dance. Not seeing anything that much better and wanting to get back on the road, I accepted her offer.

Went to the back, paid the $80 dance fee (Did it go up? I didn't get change and wasn't in the mood to argue over it) and grabbed the first booth on the right. Every other stall looked occupied and at various parts of the performance. My girl gave a very brief "dance" then proceeded to business. Quick clean up, peck on the cheek and I was on my way.
