You get what you pay for.
[QUOTE=TheCamel;4230153]$$$$ is low end for GPS pricing but still more than high enough. But if you have it to piss away enjoy yourself. "Value" is only as subjective as the size of one's financial portfolio. One man's good value is another's entry to big trouble down the road when it devolves from being an occasional hobby into a regular habit and addiction though even that person may describe the cost of an appetite for self-destruction as good value. I have been in this monger world for decades, and have seen it all including many friends and acquaintances falling into the trap of the sirens which along with their own weak impulse control, ultimately led them to self-destruct to the absolute max. Sometimes fall from the top to the bottom with surprising speed.[/QUOTE]I suppose there are newbies in this hobby who fall prey to their own weaknesses, etc. I've been in the hobby for decades as well and I've learned this --you get what you pay for, and never pay more than you can afford.
Observation: The Holiday; Santa Fe Springs
I was driving along Norwalk Blvd, and passed by "The Holiday". The place has been closed for months, with only ABC change of ownership notification posted on the front door. But today, I saw a 30 yd roll off trash dumpster in front. It was full of debris. There was a crew inside, and it looks like they were doing a full demo in preparation for a reconfiguration of the floor plan. The front facade of the building had been removed completely, in preparation for a new surface.
Reminder: the longtime owner wanted to retire, and sold the club to a long time employee some time ago--but retained ownership of the land and building. In late 2018, a company (that owns several strip clubs) purchased the real estate. The owner of the club sold to this same firm, perhaps fearing the new landlords could push them out. It looks like the new club owners are putting up a lot of money into this project.
