It's a shame that no comprehensive history exists as The Block has gone through several metamorphoses since its salad days in the early 1950s. That said, there is interesting stuff in a new Baltimore book, The Ghosts of Johns Hopkins, which also covers 1950's nightlife along Pennsylvania Avenue and Charles Street. https://books.google.com/books?id=Qw5pDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=The#v=onepage&q=The%20Block&f=false

Agree that from years past block is nowhere near it's old splendor. But. What's up with red room becoming a new club. Bottoms up. Same owner? Rob still around?

Oasis is the same Oasis it has been for the past decade. Intermittent closures and bad management not withstanding. Norma Jeans is still Norma Jeans. Chez Joey is still the same Chez Joey. Circus is still the last stop on the road (both literally and figuratively).

That said, the clubs know they've got to be on their a-game. Between the developments occurring nearby (i.e.: the building getting renovated right next to Club Lust) and the usual crap (people fighting, etc.), the Police and the Liquor Board have been cracking down hard - especially on Fridays and Saturdays. More so, the gang unit has been out there as well. They're the ones in the Green and/or Black uniforms with vests on - usually standing in front of Hustler.

No one named John works there.

I think you're reading way to much into it. Keep in mind: depending on who you talk to, there is definitely T / O there. I've seen some go to work right in customers vans and SUVs (20% tint is not that dark). Also, what you have to realize (if if it's not obvious) is that a lot of girls who come through there are feeding their habit.

Chey Joey, Jewell Box (up and downstairs) have in the past year become to all extent black dancers only. Indulge and former Flamingo also all black, though they always have been. If you take away wrecks at the Circus, only RR, Pussycat and Harem have diversity in dancers.

I agree on threats to block, but I actually like the gang unit there — one thing that's hurt the block was dealers / bangers roaming out front, which keeps typical suburban white guys away (it used to be bars were full from those at Orioles game, no longer.

Having said all that, can still have good time at three mentioned abov, though:

1) PC very mixed, and just lost 3 best dancers.

2) Red Room and particularly Harem getting much better eye candy in weekend nights, but many provide only limited lap dance or no dance st all.

The 3rd song in, she slapped this guy so hard that you can hear it from across the room with the loud music. John (I think that is the owners name) came in to interfere and kicked the guy out of the bar. That was one hell of a Saturday night!

However, in my opinion (this is only how I would see it), you are automatically a cuckold for making your girlfriend work the pole to make ends meet. Not to mention if you are so insecure about your girlfriend being a dancer, why would you date her to being with? Even when I was dating a dancer before, I knew what would go down at the gentleman's club. I just simply do not question it. After all, it's not really healthy to talk about work so much in a relationship. Just much unpopular opinion.

I was there recently about 1:30 pm, there were 5 dancers that I saw on rotation. Two songs each, fully nude by the last song. Not stunners, but not bad. Either very young (18/21-24) or late 30's plus; 3 were white, 1 AA, 1 I could not determine. Tattoos are common. Lighting is very low. Dancer's walk around (on) the bar (which surrounds the stage) after their set for tips. The dancers can be friendly and chatty, and may join you at the bar. Eventually asking if you want a private dance.

On Thursday's they run a burger / sandwich special over lunch, for $3, it's actually a good deal, and I've been surprised by taste and quantity; although I do get a little weirded out as the Girls walk around the bar for tips, crossing over the food.

I've done some lap dances here before, as said, the bouncer is right there in the lap dance area keeping everything clean, so not really fun. They tease the backroom for more privacy, I've never gone. I have gotten phone numbers from Dancers before, but not been able to follow through. Yet.

They scan IDs at the door, so that may be a no-go for some people.

Be very careful of the I'd check in. TL; DR mess with the wrong stripper and your ass is grass.

About a year ago, an old college friend and I went to fantasy; both got I'd. The very first dancer that approached me, I decided to get a lap dance from her for $40/ song (I was scam, it was suppose to be $30/ song). Not only did I get scammed by the dancer of $40/ song, when I place my wallet in the top cabinet and she stoled $100 from me. I wanted to report her to her manager but my common sense suggested if I tried, she'll make up some BS about me assaulting her or something. I played it save and accepted my loses.

However, the recent time I came over 3 months ago to speak with that same manager, typically he is a "customer is always right" type of boss and will catch on a dancers lie.

Just giving out my experiance, otherwise, fantasy is okay at best.

It's part of slow decline in the Block and Baltimore strip club scene in general.

**One Man** · 06-30-19 13:08

I will be coming to Baltimore this coming Saturday for a few days and will probably hang out on the block late afternoons and in the evenings. I just wanted to ask if there is anything new going on on the block? I don't like to do anything actually in a club except buy a girl a drink every now and then if I think there's a possibility. My preference is TO at the end of the shift / night and having her spend the night if possible. That way there is no "3 song limit" or what ever bullshit the club or girl throws at you. (Doesn't always happen. It depends on the girl, whether rent is due, what kind of night / week she has had, does she have a "boyfriend" waiting, is there a party she's going to after work, and how much she thinks she can lead you on, etc.) On a lucky night you can have a very pleasant end of night experience / morning wake-up experience, and if it / you / she were good an even better experience the next night.

At any rate I just wanted to ask the more experienced members and recent block visitors if they have hand any recent experiences and which club they might recommend. You can respond here or PM me.

I remain just.

One Man.

**Frank99** · 06-26-19 12:15

So I've been curious about two dancers who vanished and I've been waiting for them to resurface. Kayla from the Circus and Sasha from the Circus and later briefly the Red Room. Anyone have any intelligence on them? I'd love to know and happy to be contacted here or by PM.

Be safe guys.

Any info on that club?

Thanks.
