I checked in on Thursday afternoon (today). I didn't believe that things could get any worse from my visit of a few weeks ago. I was wrong. Only a handful of dancers were at the club. A couple of my old favorites told me that the mood at the club was very bad. The dances are very tame now. Absolutely no hanky panky. One of the girls was complaining about having difficulty making the daily rent number. The Rick's girls have been black balled in the area. They are having trouble getting hired in other clubs making matters worse.

One dancer said that being in limbo because of the legal process is hard on everyone. There is just no sense of certainty about the future.
