Re: where are all the dancers?
Desiree Lopez who besides being an adult film star, dances in clubs all over Florida. According to her story she won't come back to Tampa because of what happened to her after leaving a stripclub. Suddenly desiree was pulled over by an unmarked LEO vehicle. According to her a mix of uniformed & plain clothes officers informed her of her traffic violation & ran her license which did have a prior dui. The officers questioned her saying that because she had out of town plates at a stripclub known for trouble they cited a possible criminal element & searched her car. Desiree claims that the cops confiscated over 3 grand in cash from her when the officers were not satisfied with the legitimacy of how she legally made her money. The cops thinking she was either going to buy drugs or she got the money from having sex in the stripclub, she forfeited her money under civil asset forfeiture. She was free to go. With police budgets slashed do you think these stops will increase?
I don't think they will change the name
[QUOTE=Duffer22;4830205]I was told the owner of ybor strip also owns a sc in Miami called Vixens. So I guess we'll find out. As of last Friday the road sign was still the old scarlets one.[/QUOTE]I don't think they will change the name to Vixens as that doesn't give them any Advantage. Especially if there is a club named vixen few blocks away. My guess the Vans are from Miami club may be they moved furniture or any club equipment for re-modellling. I know the owner owns another club in Miami and don't know the name of the club. I heard the guy gave tampa club to his wife (or ex) and she manages this club.
Strippers with masks. LOL
[QUOTE=Bertil;4867512]I was there last night. Stopped by Scarlets and it was still closed. Then I went over to Gold's and it was open. But it's been the first time being back in a strip club since the virus hit and I'm not digging it. Dancers on stage with masks on and shit. Just ain't right LOL.[/QUOTE]Funny. I do doubt that happens in VIP rooms. Come one I have posted here of having sex in there, ***** please. Of course, dancers will be more discreet as the owners don't want the hassles.

Evolution of a strip club
I believe that they had multiple homicides at this location when it was under the name "Pure Passion".

[QUOTE=Skiper;4874635]I believe that they had multiple homicides at this location when it was under the name "Pure Passion".[/QUOTE]Nice photo essay. Thanks for posting pics of the changes this edifice endured in the recent few years.
I don't see as much evolution as I see simply new paint. Like new lipstick on a pig, so to speak.
Parking would be an issue if the place ever drew enough patrons to keep it in business for long. Any investors out there that would buy up the block and invest seven figures as a commitment to make the location pop for real?

Charlotte's next to The Todd
Charlotte's next to The Todd Looked like it was having some kind of grand opening tonight. I didn't visit.
Near the corner of Nebraska and Fletcher. (For you out of town visitors.).
This was a bikini bar, so they should have booze in addition to girls.
That's the rules in Tampa, you get naked or alcohol, but not both. At least that's how the rules go, I'm sure guys sneak booze in Scarlets and a titty pops out at Charlotte's from time to time.
