The Block. Apparently Hanging by a Thread
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.
The Dancers created the demise of the block.

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.

Thenocturnal. Great Post but Skipped Red Room. Kudos Kendude

I'll tack on that I went to Red Room around 4 pm on a recent Sunday. 2 attractive white brunettes (Kaylee. Well built blondish brunette; Chilly- thin Brunette semi-hood white girl but with an extremely pretty face). There was also a mixed girl there who's skin was basically white but I didn't catch her name. She had the best body of the trio but her face wasn't really to my liking.
Overall Kaylee and Chilly are simply noobish dancers.
I asked Chilly if she goes to the back room and she said No. This always makes me laugh and ask myself why girls like this are here?
I asked Kaylee if she goes, she said Yes. I had to leave pretty quickly, but I'm so sick of these clubs that I asked for her number and she said, "the club doesn't allow us to" and I was like, no seriously why are you girls here? I'm not a vet at this; if any of these girls are here to make cash the easiest way is outside the club even over a dinner date and I expected the bartender, who knows me to tell the girls who I am LOL (inside joke). I swear these new girls on the block are clueless. They can make endless amounts of money but have no clue how to hustle. Literally just charge a guy like $40 to meet and talk at like a Chick-fil-A and either set up an arrangement or bow out. More money than they make the whole night recently.
Anyway at Red Room your best bet is to go when Rob is Bartending which is apparently Wed-Friday (but not Scott nor Sed. Scott's way too pushhy and Sed is nice, but forgets people it seems). With Rob throw him a few bucks $10-20 (preferably $20) and he'll give you the info you need thouh he can be kind of ADD.
Recently a friend of mine showed me a video from Goddess. Apparently it's changed to a more Block like club and is far less strict than it used to be and now has a private dance area -- apparently still expensive though.
But again with Baltimore's downtown clubs being so expensive I still love my memories at my old go-to. Haven Place. Back in the day (like 2016) dudes used to do stuff with the girls on stage. Apparently that shit still happens albeit more rarely, but I haven't been back in months because I live 40 mins away from there.
[QUOTE=KenDude;7537936]Yes the Block. I haven't been since the 70's. When a young man could walk down the street lit with the seemingly thousands of enticing signs and listen to the hawkers outside the clubs telling you about the talent inside. A magical place where a boy if 15 could have a half naked woman grab his crotch with one hand as she smashed his face between her tits with the other.[/QUOTE]Bravo! Someone's prose are immaculate. You make me envy the fact that I couldn't be around when times were great; makes me wonder if I'd trade my youth for a good time -- I'll keep it for now. Granted with this being the case if you check my recent post history most of us can find better stuff with the DMV but we'll have to do some traveling.

Just got back from Miami.
Just returned from Miami a couple weeks ago and had an insane time. Went to this club called Cheetah's in Pompano Beach. So many incredible Cuban women everywhere just all kinds of naked. Nothing less than a 7 in the building. Room was $375 for 15 minutes. $75 for the doorman $300 for the girl. Guaranteed good time. You can't find anything like it in Baltimore. I had such a good time and the girls were so incredible that I can't even go to a Baltimore strip club and have a good time because I know the talent ain't there and it's going to cost more more to have less fun. It's just nice to have an ultra freaky good time and not have to check for track marks.
Miami, Stamford Bridgeport Connecticut and New Jersey

Anyway based on your description sounds like you want to go to clubs in Stamford and Bridgeport Connecticut (various clubs. Read their sections in the forum) and maybe New Jersey specifically the XXXV club in Jersey. In Bridgeport (last time I went was 2019 so YMMV) there are clubs where you pay like $40-50 to go to the back room with girls for 5-10 mins. In Stamford you pay $20 and can stay back there as long as the girl allows you to.
I didn't go to XXXV /35 club in Jersey myself but my friend told me in 2022 the girls are extremely direct and very attractive though on the floor in Jersey they can't be nude, the backrooms are a different story and action is immediate.
You'd pay way less than $300. But read the threads for context.
