Does anyone know of the action available at the Foster Theater on Glenwood Ave in Youngstown. I heard through a friend of a friend that there is action to be had, some times from free. If no one has any info, I guess that I will have to take the bullet and check it out.

I haven't heard anything. I hope you can take the bullet and let us know what is happening there and how to get the same if you are successful.

Maybe that will wake up this board.

Was early for an appointment in Ytown last week and decided to just window shop. Didn't have much money on me, (seriously) but came across a nice lookin BSW on Hillman toward North End.

She was petite and had red highlights. I made eye contact and she saw Iturned on the next road to round the block and she actually knew what to do (amazing how many will just keep walking the main drag). So we rondeviewed and she got in. I had to tell her how to do the Uncle Leo check. Risky I know, but what the hell.

5 looks started to change my mind. So i tried the old "no money to play" bit, but she asked how much i did have. I said 5 and she said ok this time, but usually charges 10 and up (laughed my ass off inside). So we drove around and 5 minutes later she got out $5 richer and with about 100 calories of me in her (didn't loose a drop, no cleanup at all). Nice!!!

Good luck to you, guy. Hopefully it will be amicable. Give us an occasional update, as some of us might be headed that way soon as well.

To all,

There is a young lady (wsw) by the name of Deana that works and lives on the south side of Ytown near the Hillman and Glenaven and Evergreen area. She lives just off of Hillman on one of those two streets I can't remember which. Red hair, average size chest and big a** for those who like. She is about 5'5". Only the most adventurous should go to her place. It is not neccesarily dangerous, but the condition and darkness of the place are quite unsettling for some.

When she started out she was probably a 6 or 7 on the sw scale she has since slipped to a 4 or 5 for looks, but the attitude, price and discretion make up for that when nothing else can be found. She even has a friend or sister that given some notice can join in. I will try and dig up the cell# as I deleted it from my phone. It should be on an old bill though.

Hey,

If you find the cell number or a closer address let me know. I use to hang ith her 5 years ago and she was a sweet girl. Very enthusiastic. As for me I've been visiting the Brickhouse. Can highly recommend Tia and Steph. Steph told me she was very available for takeout. During a regular dance she may have grabbed willy and went to town. I was a little nervous but she said don't worry all the girls do it.Cute girls not the top of the line dancers but very close. Take the furthest booth. No cameras no security all contact. Gotta love it

03-20-05, 20:25
You just have to know a dancer or someon to vouch for you. AA years membership will cost Like $20 . Just use Steph's name and they'll probably let you in. I'd go early before they get too many dancers there say 8:00 and then hang out at the bar. Drinks are cheap too. Then the girls will usually approach you. Some will rub your leg then crotch to make sure you're not YPD. Dances are only 10 a dance so I get 3-5 then offer a nice tip when she's started. Stephs a skinny blonde with huge tits and is rather spacey. If not just wait in the lot till a dancer pulls in and ask her to vouch for ya.

I was out this morning and cruised and had good choices on Hillman. Picked the wrong one, BSW, big hair, and lips. I can't remember her name, but she immediately started taking my pants down and giving me a BJ. No discussion of money or anything. I should have know at that point.

From past posting, I learned not to let them take your pants all the way down as they can take your wallet. So I sat on my wallet. Her hands were everywhere. She had me pull over and turn the car off and almost had me cumming, she wanted her money and I told her ok and gave her 20. She wanted more, then went back down and I blew my load.

Well, that is when the fun started. She wanted to go do more, well I told her no, I was done and to take off. She got mad and said I had to give her more money. I said, fine and gave her the ones out of my wallet. She wasn't happy with that and wanted another 20. I said I didn't have it. Then she said "do you want your keys back?" I was like "oh Shit, she snagged my keys". So I again said I had no more money and she swore I better find more and was causing a scene. I had a couple 5's and gave them to her and said "You fucking *****, now give me my fucking keys!". She threw them at me and was telling me I was not being honest. ***** ***** *****!

How do these ****** dare tell us that when we are being nice to them and polite and they pull this stuff. NO MORE BLACK WOMEN, EVER!!!!!

I think I know who you are talking about she pulls alot of scams. I dont do black women anymore most are scaming. There is a girl in a silver car riding around that area she will stop and flag you down about a 6 on the scale but can get her cheap.

The guy in the van owns the business next door and is trying to intimidate the owner of the New Affair to the point of hurting or closing his business out of revenge. See, the city wouldn't give the asshole a licence to open a Male strip club next to the New Affair. He basically is making an ass out of himself.

Mo on Rock 104 (103.9) cracks on him all the time on his afternoon show on the radio. Call Mo is you witness the guy. Mo love hearing stories about him and loves cracking on him.

Visited the Brickhouse for the first time since last fall. Five dancers were there with three of the five I would rate 2 or 3 out of 10. The other dancers are Gigi and Stephanie. Gigi is tiny/slim and appears to be mixed race, I would rate her a 5. Stephanie on the other hand is very pretty. She looks out of place there when you compare her to the other girls, I would rate her a solid 8, pretty face and body. I got two dances from her at $15/dance, when I got in the booth she told me that we could do whatever I want. I had a great time (bbbjtcim) and will go back again.

So how much was the "whatever I want" offer?

And I cannot find the place still. Can I get directions for someone who isn't familure with the area as much or even an address and I will look it up.

04-19-05, 11:41
To STAR69, Stephanie never mentioned how much money she wanted. As I said before it costs $15/dance and whatever you want to tip her. I gave her a $40 tip, which was stupid on my part because I could have given her any amount as long as I gave her some thing.

The Brickhouse is a private club at 530 Gibson Street in Youngstown. It is accross from the Waste Water Plant at Poland Ave and Gibson Street. Annual membership is $15-20/year. To become a member you mostly need to know some one, but you can always stop there and see if they will let you join. It opens at about 8:30pm Tuesday-Saturday, but I heard they may start opening up on Mondays.

Anyone been to Club 76 in austintown. Any action there?

Star69
04-21-05, 10:06
I went to club 76 last winter. It was cool. Just a nice lil bar after work crowd when I was there and the dancers were personable and fun to talk to. I do not believe there is any extra activity there though.

The one dancer there was nursing her kid during that phase of her life and was squirting free samples to everyone as she danced. She would kneel on bar in front of you and say "open Wide" and then give you a ssqurt or two.

Have fun there though.

Hey everyone! A new strip club opened that everyone needs to visit. It is called Club Pink and is in Masury (outside Brookfield). You basically follow route 82 over the over-pass for route 62 and make the 90 degree bend and it is rigth there on the right. Kinda a dive atmosphere but the girls are sweet.

Love to here others opinions on the place.

I was out yesterday with nothing to do. I tried something new though. I saw on a yahoo group about the Foster Theater in Youngstown on Glenwood. So I stopped. It was 9 to get in and it was a movie theater showing nothing but porn.

Interesting, I noticed about 5 or 6 guys and 1 couple. Some activity was going on so I was careful where I sat. I am not sure if I will go back. The movies were good. Hehehe. I heard some ladies will go there to find covert action.

I also traveled the roads and saw a lot of legit action on Hillman, and Edwards.

I was at the Brickhouse about 3 weeks ago on a Wednesday. There was 4 dancers that night. Three of the dancers were pretty good looking with one NOT! Two of the good looking dancers are Stephanie and Tia, I don't know the name of the other one. I got two dances each at $15/dance from Stephanie and Tia. I tipped both $30 and got bbbjtcim from both. I know this may be too much to pay, but it is a safe place as compare to picking some one off the street.

CCyoungstown,

Are they still very strict about entrance? I was there once about a year and a half ago and was let in after some starnge looks and how do you know about this place questions and had a good time. I didn't get the membership then thinking I could pick it up the next time. that was a mistake, the next time I tried to go it was a no go. I offerred to buy the membership but it was a strict no unless you were accompanied by another member.

I took a test run to see where this "Brickhouse" was and I can honestly say I was completely scared to see the appearance of this building. Also I saw a sign on the outside in big letters "No Drugs allowed". A couple questions.

1. Is this place safe. It looks like if you go in. You may not come out lol

2. How busy is this place ?

3. Is this in a high crime area.

I heard good things about but I need to be reassured before even stepping there.

About the Brickhouse. I think it is safer to go there than to drive down Oak Hill or Hillman looking for a SW. The customers are attorneys, bankers, business owners, students, etc... and probably drug dealers too. I know the owner, previous owner and one of the bouncers, so I always feel safe. I go on Wednesdays or Thursdays and it is never really busy. There is usually 4-5 dancers that go all over the scale from 1-10, it depends on what you like. I hear that they are busier on the weekend, plus they have more dancers. I recommend Stepfanie or Tia for private dances. To get in you have to know some one and this can be a problem.

She was enjoying all the guys in the bar watching making eye contact with us and loving it.

I received a couple dances from this pregnant girl who was really nice in looks and was very attentive to me.

Does anyone have anything to report about Arnolds in Poland ohio. I hear that this an all nude bar. Anyone?

CCYoungsTown
06-24-05, 11:53
To Arrow32,

Yes Arnolds is all nude. The dancers dance nude on the stage where you can sit very close. The private dances (which are out in the open) are topless. I used to go there a lot 4 or 5 years ago and they had the best group of dancers around. If anyone knows Tammy who is a bartender at the Upstairs Restaurant, she was dancing there back then to give you an example. The dances used to be $5/dance with good contact YMMV. I never got any extras there. The last couple of times the I went there, it seems that the quality of the dancers has gone down but maybe I was just there on a bad night. I think that the private dances went up to $10/dance, but I am not sure.

Update on the Brickhouse. I was there last night. There was seven dancers working, I thought that 4 of the dancers were very good looking with the other three being too heavy for my liking. I was going to try one of the different dancers but I went with a sure thing in Stefanie. I paid $30.00 for two dances + tipped $30.00 for a good bbbj. My friend got four dances + $50.00 tip for FS. I did not get the new girls names but plan on going back next week. Stefanie did tell me that not all the girls are "Team Players", will report again next week.

I'm going to be heading into Youngstown on business in a couple of weeks. Any suggestions for filling my spare time? No one has posted here in awhile. This Brickhouse. Doesn't look like an out-of-towner can expect to get in. Where else should I look? Feel free to post or to PM me, please.

Star69
08-21-05, 20:21
If you are here only during the week days, then I suggest a few clubs. You may go to classeier/Highpriced places such as The Babylon in Austintown on Mahoning Ave or Club Pink in Masury off Route 62 and 82 intersection. Or for a lower class place you may head to The LampPost Lounge on Belmont or Skippers on route 45 in Warren or Uncle Joes in Lordstown just down from Skippers.

If on the weekends all the above, but try going to Choices to pick up some great drunk or easy girls.. The place gets packed and requires dressing at least decent (no t-shirts or hats allowed) and has a cover of $4. it is a legit night club but a real meat market.

For Street action, look at our post for anywhere in between Hillman and Market.

Good luck!

I had a dream I took a ride around the town from 12:30 till about 1:30. While on Oak I saw very few walkers. WSW looked good from behind. She turned around one word eeeww. I had to shake the face out of my mind.

Saw a BSW crack ho skinny dresses like she is young but get close not good. Stay away from he she will rip you off. I went over by the hospital nothing out.

LE was scarce, I saw 2 in my dream.

Went to the Brickhouse yesterday, a little hard to find for a out-of-towner but I somehow managed it. They had 2 people at door, a big woman and an average built guy. Was not let in inspite of taking a few names or reassuring I was from out of town. She even got one of the girl I mentioned to come out and see if she knew me, and she did not. Bottom line - Knowing one of the members or one of the girls seems to be the min criterion to get in. Can anybody recommend some other way to get in ?

Headed to Palace and had an average time. You get a decent grind but any extras are hard to imagine with no real privacy that you get with bead curtains on booths. Can anybody recommend any contact or info to break the unusually long dry spell I am going through away from home. Feel free to contact me if any of you is headed my way.

Have a good one,

Regular OC Guy,

I was there only once and got the same hassle at the door, but the lady finally let me in. I paid just the door fee and did not get the membership at that time figuring that I would check it out and get one at a later date if I liked it.

I tried to return another day and the same lady would not let me in. I have not tried to return since then.

If you are in town for a short time and really need a sure thing; my suggestion would the amps.

Brovo35
10-05-05, 13:34
To those that prefer the cruise vs. the amps.; it seems as though overland and edwards have been very busy lately.

I cannot attest to the quality, but the quantity has been up lately in those areas, two blocks and one block west of Hillman respectively, but north of willis. Only one or two of the many I saw would be rated above a sw6.

Just thought I'd get the word out about a WSW named Karen. Serious ripoff artist. She's 5'3" 110lbs 40ish. Short curly Redish blonde hair. She demands money upfront then has you drive to a house to get her stuff. In the front door out the back. Serious bad dudes in house. Definitely ain't work the drama. She also left what I thought was an empty pack of cigs in car and it had a crack pipe in it. Just say no to this one!

So here I am in your town for a few days. Lots different from Columbus. I cruised the Warren Strolls listed here and found nothing. So I headed into Youngstown. Went up Hillman and saw plenty of nasty WSW and BSW. Same on Oak Hill - then as I was ready to call it quits - I see this little blonde. About 5'5, very petite and nice big knockers. Found her on Market. Said her name was JJ. She asked if I had a place as she did not want to park. So we went to my room and got FS, no rush. She saw two pics of Andy and talked for awhile. Very nice girl - very good service. A great find compared to what I was seeing out there. Youngstown gets my thumbs up for JJ. Best of all she was not geeked out, worn out or beat up. Very nice skin, and not ravaged by the streets. Heck I may hang around another day!

I was out between 8 and 10 the first night Torch.

I went out again tonight- my last night here. Around 6 I found Wendy on Market near the McDonalds. Looked good from a distance. Little blonde. Said she was 20 and said she was an H addict. She agreed to come back to the room. Life on the streets has been a bit rough on her, but she gave a most awesome oral service. I went ahead and just gave her a protein dinner.

So later - still feel like I need some more. I went out around 11- and at Market and Warren = JJ!!!! Damn she is a piece of ass. She rivals anything I know in Columbus. Very nice! Back to the hotel again and we had fun for about an hour. She is very easygoing.

On another note - this women in a white car followed me off Market and flashed her lights at me for two blocks. I was thinking cops - but then realized they would bring a marked car for such a pull over. Then at a stop sign she pulls up beside me and asked me if I wanted a date! WTF? She was a troll and I am thinking cop set up again. So I said I was from out of town and lost. She told me where 680 was and tried to talk me into a date again. She was foul and I said no. Thing was - she was in a nice car.She said she needed gass - yeah right. She needed gas alright. So I went down market towards downtown and turned around. On the way back two cruisers have her pulled over and out of the car. Guess they caught her flashing her lights. I thought it was very strange and uncool of her to draw attention like that.
Be on the look out.

I had a great time here. I look forward to visiting again!

I know exactly who your talking about she is out often in her car. and yes she is a troll. I cant believe she still uses the gas line. thanks for the laugh. I guess I will heve to get to youngstown soon I stopped going becouse there were only crack hoes out there nothing a bag would have helped.

Well mostly that is what I saw. On Oak Hill, Hillman and Glenwood, I saw nothing but baggers. I did see one nice looking BSW on Oakhill. She was thin and a nice figure, but seemed agressive, so I avoided. Wendy is a street hoe for sure, but was a good time for the donation. JJ on the other hand is worth the effort to find. Hope she stays nice and does not take the slide before I get back! Wendy told me of SWs on Mahonning from downtown on out, but I did not see any when I was there. It was fun to hunt someplace else for a change.

Saw plenty of Mongers as well. Seems like there should be more reporting going on.

I cruised about 12:30 till 2. Picked up Wendy by Papas Pizza, the same one in past posts. She was nice, unrushed and shaven. All the way for 40 reasons. Seen one on by next street up I think thats Oak, but she looked good to good maybe a vice decoy.

11-12-05, 20:08
Only one way to find out. They won't get in your car. If a girl won't get in your car and wants you pull around the block or meet her in a room for a date - drive away. Never negoiate till they are in the car and they have done the LE check on you.

I bet the other one you saw was JJ and you missed out. Bummer. Decoys are going to be the ones you don't suspect. I can't wait to get back to YTown in a couple weeks and see JJ again!

Another report on the Brickhouse. Stopped at the Brickhouse Tuesday night 11/15/05 with my friend. There were four "dancers" working: Tia, Gigi, Dana, and another one who I did not get her name. My friend went with Gigi and Dana. He paid for 5 dances at $15/each with Gigi and tipped her $60 for fs. He paid for 3 dances $15/each with Dana and $30 for bbbj. Gigi is small thin mixed race, which I would rate a 5-6 on the sw scale. Dana is very pretty white girl with a nice body, I would rate 7-8 on sw scale. My friend told me that Gigi was very good and vocal (you could hear her screams). According to my friend, Dana was a little reserve and will only give bbbj. I think Dana could be a real gem once she gets to know her; and I plan to see her the next time I go. I went with Tia, paid for 2 dances at $15 + $30 for bbbj ($30 seems to be the standard for bbbj). The place has been recently remodeled and now only has two booths. The booths now have stages for the dancers. I had to use the first booth which is more open than the the second booth. Tia, 6-7 on sw scale, has very good oral skills. As I have reported before the total price here is high, but the place is safe. The only other problem there is that you have to be a member to get in.

What is the easy way to meet someone to get you into the Brickhouse? If you wait for a girl in the lot will she get you in?

What time do they start?

I have read a number of posts about this place. Its sounds great, but how do become a member? It's confusing as hell. You have to know someone to get in. Then you have to get a membership. How do get a membership if you don't know someone? Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
