Sometimes when businesses are struggling, they conveniently have a fire so the owner can collect on the insurance.

Fire marshals and insurance investigators usually find where the accelerant -- the fire starter -- was placed, what it was and so on.

Made a trip out to Dollies last Thursday. I go about once a month, and usually have a good time. 5 girls working, and just about the most unfriendly atmosphere I've ever encountered. Good looking thicker blonde sitting at the bar, asked if I could buy her a drink, responded witvery rudely. I walked away with a smile and grabbed a table, usually the girls will come by and ask if they can join you. Say there for 20 minutes and nothing. There was an attractive thin brunette walking around, so I approached her and asked to buy her a drink. She responded with "I already have one" in a very bitchy tone and walked away. This was all around 5 pm, guess that had already made their money for the day. Oh well, we all strike out sometimes I guess.
Anyone know what days Autumn works? Damn that girl is fun.

Some racist crap went down sadly and he paid for it. The rumor was someone (friends of the deceased) burned it down. They rebuilt but they couldn't get a liquor license and the rest is history.
I had some daytime fun there. Much more open than Ms Kitty's which ran both places.

He also "allegedly" beat one of the miss kitty's dancers so bad she moved away to get away and hasn't been heard from. Too scared to bring a suit.
This was all detailed on a front page story of the Riverfront Times a couple years ago, which questioned why a guy like that is still out in public. Guess what? He took copies to Miss Kitty's and signed autographs of the copies to customers! Wow. I have avoided Miss Kitty's ever since.

2011 not a good year a customer was murdered on a Sat and. A Man Drew a gun and Reggie beat him and got shot in the foot. These Clubs were friendly to all. Just not Gang Bangers.
[QUOTE=Purleybaker;2711836]See-Mowes and Pleasure Palace (previously Fantasy Land) twice, City Nights.[/QUOTE]There was also a club "back in the day" near the PT's in Centreville called Exposed which burned down after it was closed (along with Mainstreet and Cheeks) when the feds raided the owners for gambling machines years ago. I think the old Red Rooster in Brooklyn also burned after it was shut down as well.
Went to dollies yesterday around 2 pm the bouncer actually had change, I bought two sodas the dancer were above average from my past vists, aleza came over she looked nice enough in the dark. She got right to the business told me 50 for head but didn't mention a cover before but put it on as soon as we got behind the beads it was a mediocre BJ at best with no playing with the boys but she got the job done. I wouldn't see her again but I will be back to dollies. It's to cheap and easy to play there not to return.
Anyone go to pts for couples night? Any guys get to be the lucky third? Just wondering if waste of time.
