This company that owns it now. It's not Deja vu anymore. Sure seems to be trying to run it into the ground. Or maybe the GM is incompetent. Both are equal possibilities.
This is sad to hear, but it is what it is. I used to go to Hustler regularly and would luck up on take and some really good UTRs. I really haven't been over there often since the covid days, plus my UTRs have me wrapped up and taken care of on the Missouri side of the river. With that being said, I was thinking of checking out some young talent over the summer, but this has given me great pause. It sounds like it has really changed for the worse and isn't worth them time. Thanks for the update.

Reposted topic. Just another reason for the downturn of the eastside clubs. These area's have always been more high risk obviously. I had MANY fun visits to Dollie's & other clubs in the area from the late 80's thru the early 2000's.
Social media made it much easy for gals to "earn" on their own, the pandemic was another effect on the clubs.
The "good ole days" . If you're too young to experience that period of the prime strip club years, it was pretty good on the eastside. 😉.
If you do visit the eastside fun clubs, be smart & stay safe.
The "corporate club" culture has taken over the major clubs and between the lack of good talent and the increased prices the clubs just aren't worth regular visits for me.
While crime has always been an issue especially at the lower tier Washington Park clubs for the most part even now, if you get yourself whacked you were probably involved in more than just patronizing a strip club.

From the article:
"It was going through probate because the previous owner was murdered. When it was out of probate he brought the old Dollies building. That's how he ended up in Washington Park. ".
Well, buddy, that may have been a sign.
I asked this over on in the Washington Park, IL thread, I really don't recall the former owner of Dollies being murdered? I thought the previous owner just gave it up on the business because he was fairly old, the club wasn't make a lot of money, and they got cited for needing to do a lot of repairs to the building.

When did they start that? It's been a couple months since I've been into Hustlers.

I've never had an issue getting an uber or having a cab out there waiting for stragglers to take me back to my place. I'll note it has been about a year since I've done that, but I'm sure the cabs still operate the same.

Is that the Kitty that was at Chameleon's way back when? If so, hope that she is doing well.

Roaming is good in country rock.
