Strip Club Reports

[MartyBass864]

While I have zero information other then what is provided on this forum why would they open for 1 day? Do they still have a vaild liquor license? I think it would attract the attention of the local police plus liquor enforcement. Who would want to work 1 day. ? Could they get support staff and entertainment into place for one last party? I don't know just asking. If it does open I think it could be 1 helluva party or a very big shit show. With the second being far more likely. Stay safe.

Six figures or not, you don't understand how local government works. Yes, customers want a Follies, but cities and their elected officials do not. And when that happens, sooner or later they'll close (look at the history of 42nd street in NY, the Combat Zone in Boston, etc. - when gov wants adult businesses to go, they go). The law is pretty clear. While strip clubs in general usually pass muster, cities can and have restricted hours, alcohol use, lap dances, etc. All the things that make a Follies Follies. We've lived through the high point of adult business in this country; it'll slowly but surely shrink to a few isolated locations

Yea I agree most residential areas don't want Strip Clubs or any Sex shops around because they know it usually brings crime and drugs into the area. It's funny tho most all of the Strip Clubs in Atlanta are in bad areas anyway.

That is what I heard from a former dancer now at another club. She said it would be open for one day only and then would be closed for good. She said I could verify it on fakebook and instagram. I looked at fakebook but found nothing on it. I definitely trust the girl. But, I do not know what to think! Anyone else hear this?

Mongers put money in G-strings, pay for sex and massages, and spend their time looking for the cheapest pussy.

Soccer Moms put money in the pockets of politicians and spend their time looking for causes. Like shutting down strip clubs, brothels, massage parlors, getting hookers off the streets.

Who do you think is getting the best return for their dollar?

With the way the laws, ordinances and regulations are in Atlanta are you surprised these places are closing? Is there any doubt as to why the top talent (mostly) avoids Atlanta?

[AllTheTime]

Nah you're just flat out wrong.

EVERYBODY wants Follies. Always did and always will. It will rise from the ashes, probably by early 2021 is my guess.

Just don't be a poor loser with no money walking into that place.

A six figure guy like me never had problems getting all the titties and pussy I could handle in Follies because I had that mean green burning a hole in my pocket.

There is high demand for the services Follies offered. You can shut down Flashers, you can shut down Follies, etc. But that's not going to change demand at all.

Oh sure, the Karens of the world might imagine Boise, where "strip clubs" involve women stripping down to two piece bathing suits. But it didn't takeout in Boise, and I'm sure there are underground clubs where, god and Joseph Smith forbid, guys hire talent to perform and it's nearly impossible to crack down on.

Atlanta has probably shed its title of "most strip clubs per capita in a major city" but the down and dirty stuff isn't going away. It's just shifting to a more secure location.

There are nude strip clubs in Atlanta where you can buy a dime bag of weed and roll up while getting a contact dance. There aren't any that allow dealers to setup while blatantly violating occupancy rules, shootings happening in the damn club, bouncers breaking people's legs and assaulting dancers and customers while the talent gets drugged and raped regularly. Look it all up, that place was a cesspool, and no city wants it anywhere close to them. TT, Wax, Blaze, Goldrush and diamonds are all rocking. I'm all for freedom, but Follies had truly become a dangerous place for customers and their very own staff.

Follies was by far the best strip club that I've ever gone to and I've been to the "best of the best" all over the US. The Follies Vets went during the day. Night shift was completely different, but never once did I feel unsafe there. LOL at any of those other clubs being anywhere close to Follies's level. If you think that you probably weren't doing something right.

The problem happens when you go too far over the line. For the last several years, from reading this forum, it was clear that follies was way way way over the line. The most over the line club I've ever been to was the Platinum Plus in Memphis. I saw live sex on stage. There was lots of sex happening in the VIP room, lots and lots right out in the open VIP. In reading, that was just a normal night at the purple church. I've had a bunch of dancers, but I've never seen that much itc action just out in the open. Memphis closed them down eventually. Follies eventually got closed down, it just was too far over the line. This happens all the time. Guys want more, so they pay up. Girls get more. Bouncers, waitresses, and managers get more tips. This isn't an original story. When it's too far out in the open and talked about too much, you get trouble. A full club at 2:30 pm on a Monday, and people talking about it in internet chat rooms like this, and people raise their eyebrows. I've had sex and offers of sex from a bunch of different dancers, bartender chicks, waitresses, shooter girls, and just about every chick in a strip club possible short of the house mom in various cities. Keep it on the downlow, and it can go on forever. It gets talked about too much and the government comes a knocking. There are plenty of Karens out there that believe that they can force their view of morality on others and don't give a shit about your opinion. And politicians will always side with them in public, and remember votes are public. It is what it is folks. Another club will open up somewhere. Just wait until it does.

P.S. Hopefully the Atlanta area doesn't become like Nashville.

Pardon the geeky title: just came to mind.

Fact: Young, uneducated, beautiful women are never going to stop selling their bodies to men who can afford them. That's just a cornerstone of physical reality, like F=ma or E=mc2.

Someone (maybe one of us!) will find a way to create a strip club experience for paying clients. It might work as a gig economy thing.

Imagine taking the portability of location intrinsic to AirBnB and combining it with service gig outfit like TaskRabbit, only in this case it matches a venue, strippers, and clients to an interval of time.

Like your driving your 812 GTS down I-75, and you get a text notification: a space over near Lenox (house, warehouse, office) is today's spot. You have a couple hours to kill before your VC meeting at Atlanta Tech Village, and it's in the neighborhood, so you pull up, park, show your app to the door guy (who scans it), and in you go. Full bar, poles, nude spinners. You order a drink, have some dances, empty your balls into a 19 year old vagina, and off you go, refreshed for your meeting.

Or whatever.

App-driven, leveraging participating real estate parters, etc. It's more inevitable than merely likely.

No, grognards like me or Niteluvr won't like it, but young guys will feel right at home. That's my future prediction!

I used to travel to HotLanta, loved the SC scene there. Tattletales, Cheeta (the original). Showing my age, LOL.

[Da Slickster]

Stopped by last night.

Haven't been to a club at night in forever. Pretty disappointed as I used to hit Follies during the afternoon. Girls pretty much talked amongst themselves or with regulars, guys pouring ones on dancers, no contact dances, way too much smoke, and way too small drinks.

We didn't stay long.

I miss Follies.

[NewDude]

You could buy weed & coke right by the men's bathroom, I'm guilty of buying a dime bag & rolling a fat one under the DJ booth, so I wasn't surprised about them being shut down. Normally I just use my weed pen when out in public as you can't tell the difference between it & a vape pen.

Is Clayton county in their future?

I don't think the owners care to be honest. They let their managers and club staff run that club into the ground. Remember when we were all complaining about the dealers and riff raff in the club that the bouncers and management let roam at will and enforced the BS rules only on their PAYING customers. The drug dealing, constant cop calling, and underhanded BS there is what ruined the club. This is what happens when you let chuckle heads run a multi million dollar business. The cow has been milked dry, and the owners are probably on an island or yacht somewhere.
