Return to Market Street

Had stopped by the Hitching Post first to see if the dancer Carolina who used to work days, was the same one working the night shift but did not see her there. Did not stay long before deciding to take the short drive to Market Street to see the status of the bars there. First drove passed Cabaret which was closed. Circled the block and found a parking space opposite the Moonlight Lounge which looked open. Was immediately greeted when getting out of my car by a homeless person telling me he has no money to eat. I gave him a handful of change. There was a security guard outside Moonlight, who I recognized from working outside Cabaret. He said Cabaret will be reopening along with Baby Dolls which is right next to Moonlight. He said Baby Dolls was sold and will be under new management but did not say when it would open. Walked into Moonlight around 9:30. Bar usually opens at 9. Was surprised at the upgrades they had made. As a previous reviewer had mentioned the bar countertops were all new. There were no seats at the bar, just small tables throughout the bar. The bartender Rosa was there before the Covid shutdown. The bar seats were supposed to return on May 19. The place looked much cleaner. I ordered a water for $5. The lap dance booths on the opposite side of the bar had been removed. Whether this is permanent or not I do not know. Moonlight, Baby Dolls and Cabaret were all busted for prostitution before Covid hit. As far as the dancers here, there was none when I entered and only one other customer. Finally, 2 dancers came out of the dressing room. One was in her 40's and out of shape and fortunately she headed to the other customer. The other dancer was Columbian, maybe in her early 30's with implants on top and on the bottom, but had a pretty face. I bought her a shot for $10. Tipped some dollars as she rubbed up against me but left after 30 minutes.As I was leaving, another dancer was entering ( older and unattractive ) Will return in a month to see whether the other bars have opened.
