I've been to the Industrial Strip...

I've been to the Industrial Strip enough times in the last couple months to know that it can be hit or miss, although more hit than miss if you go at the right time. Most of my visits have been on Fridays or Saturdays after midnight. On these days, the talent is mostly strong (one or two past their prime, but most are a solid 7.5 or above), there is a pretty good diversity, and the 55 dollar 3 dance sets are definitely worth it. The rooms are private, I've never had anyone look in, and some of the girls can be a little... lax about enforcing the rules. Overall, the place is strong on the weekends.

I've also been on some weekday afternoons, which can be a little more spotty. Less girls, and definitely less talent. It still isn't a bad place if you are in the area, but I'd recommend holding out for the weekend if you can.

Overall, I.S. is a good solid option in the Chicago area (especially great to stop at after a night of gambling at the nearby casino). Check it out if you are in the area, and you probably won't be disappointed.
