The Oasis was dry so I met a nice dancer at the P.O.

I had an unexpected lay-over at PHL and decided to venture out to the clubs. I had intended to go to Oasis and had my Lyft driver take me there. Much to my dismay, when we arrived at about 8:00 pm, the club was locked up, lights were off and no cars in the parking lot. Fortunately, the Lyft driver took me up the road to the P.O. for a little tip and didn't leave me at the closed up club (any idea what is up with Oasis's hours?)

At the Purple Orchid, no cover charge at this time. Obligate club description: rectangular bar takes up most all of the main room and there are seats around the bar. Communal lap dance room up two stairs immediately past the bouncer station - $20/each. Two private rooms with doors that are in the front part of the main room near the bouncer station - $30/each).

Melissa was tending bar and I met, Tanya (larger black woman from Jamaica) , Lil' Bites (petite black woman with lots of tats and nice large-ish boobs), Candy (sort of goth-ish black woman with piercings and skin art) and Charm (heavier black woman). My Corona was $7. This was only my 2nd time at this place ever but the vibe seemed a little different this evening. There weren't many customers getting dances and most were just sitting around the bar and drinking and socializing with the dancers.
