[QUOTE=SleepingBag;7521474]Seems Kaylynn had passed back in 2021, but I just learned about it recently. She had the most kindest heart and the sweetest and gentlest spirit. But she had a tormented spirit.
May she rest in peace.

[QUOTE=JaySinn;7521498]Don't recognize the name. Was she a stripper?[/QUOTE]She worked at the Red Room for a long time. I saw her several times, in and out of the club. I can't remember her stage name, but she was a nice person. Last time I saw her was probably 2020, right after things opened back up.
I was a regular visitor to the Block pre-mortgage crisis. After that funds and available time meant visits were less frequent. And the the Pandemic came. I believe I have made one previous visit post-pandemic, and as I recall I came home with most all of my money still in my wallet.
That was a night time visit, so having some unusual free time I tried a day visit today.
The place has been devastated. The sign over the Hustler club has been removed. The *new* building (looks like retail / office and apartments) where the Plaza and Mouse Trap 2 burned still looks new-ish, but still has paper over all the windows and "For Lease signs" and no indication it has ever been occupied.
The clubs themselves. Most of them are padlocked, many with taped up signs saying "Forward mail to" or "For Lease". Many marquees and awnings and doors have all had names painted over.
Jewel Box Upstairs was open (day shift?) but the downstairs was not. Upstairs had one not attractive enough to stay dancer.
Chez Joey was open. A couple of dancers, but 2 of the three were still in street clothes, no bartender most of the time I was there. The one girl dressed to dance took a turn almost on the stage. She put one foot up on the stage and then flexed around in an imitation of dancing while intently reading her phone.
The downstairs next to Chez Joey (Bottoms UP I think) had several girls but most were already occupied. The one unoccupied was very cute. I had a couple of drinks with her. She was a little handsy, she volunteered the contact but very hesitant about it. Low mileage.
Pussy Cat Club also had several dancers, two were not in street clothes, but were definitely cold as they had heavy jackets on over their bikini / nighties. One dancer approached me promptly, made a good impression and I had a few drinks and a lap dance. Moderate mileage with the lap dance. After the lap dance while I was getting ready to leave another attractive (tall) dancer approached while the first girl was in the rest room. Didn't want dancer vs. Dancer drama so left, felt potential.
Last stop was Indulge, down the stair for the old flamingo / Florida club. Looks strange without the fish tank. Got glomphed on by a short girl when I came in. Not no mileage, but low and she stayed in complete control placing my hands as she wanted with with clear indication of what motions were her-approved. On the way out had a quick look into the other section were the pool tables used to be, it looked like the pool tables were still there and maybe two additional bars, that collectively had more girls and people. Regret not seeing that on the way in, that crowd looked like more fun.
So five places actually open. I gave three girls the chance to lure me into a lap dance or more, but only one came even close to convincing me that a actual good time would ensue should I opt for a private dance / room. They were not trying very hard, certainly not the hard sell I'm used to on the block.
That said overall, today was the most attractive collection of girls I've seen on The Block in a long while (even discounting the long gap since my last successful visit). My historical memory indicates day shift was always prettier than nightshift, but this was enough of an improvement that it might be worth another exploration.
Prior to todays adventure, I somehow forgot about the stairs. So. Many. *steep*. Stairs.

I stopped going to the block years ago. Most dancers that went on stage either did not dance or take off any clothing. I remember many dancers on stage just leaning on the pole. Then after their set was over the dancer would come by asking for a donation. I usually asked them " for what. " Of course then comes the attitude or I eye rolls. Also the drinks were too high and the dancer drank the drink too fast, especially if she could not get anymore money out of you. It didn't help that the bartebder was coming back in three minutes asking if you wanted to buy the dancer another drink. Now lets talk about the back room and the cost. It was astronomical to pay the girl and tbe ba to go to the back room. If you went to the backroom, you were rushed. Definitely not worth the cash. The girls just got too greedy. Tbey just did the barest of minimum to get the most money.
