Bland Reopening

Bare Elegance has quietly reopened in a modified form for evenings only. They are not advertising. The last I looked, there was nothing on their webpage or Twitter feed about it.

The club has changed as follows. Masks are required and you also have to undergo a temperature check and sign a paper that you assume all risks for your own health. A lot of the tables and chairs have been removed so the rest can be distanced from one another and that means that when the club is full, there are a lot fewer customers there. A large patio area has apparently been enclosed but I did not go out there. Signs and menus indicate a greater emphasis on food service as if they're trying to be viewed not as a strip club but as a restaurant that happens to have sexy dancers.

I paid $5 to self-park my car. I got in on a pass but I believe the admission price has been raised to $20.
