Strip Club Reports

[Al Melrose]

Let's think positive, maybe Nikki is moving the bar to a new location? Isn't this the third location, so it must not be hard to move to a new location.

Dances much better in the pool room at the original Bobbies. Slipped the guy in twice. But the stench from the bad plumbing was not pleasant.

I remember going to two places called Mardi Gras and Tommy Guns on Mannheim Road. No windows and the birds would be chirping and sun coming up by the time you got out of there.

Glad you brought this one place up. One of the guys I do business with was a dj at mardi gras. Where was this place? I am thinking from what he describes it's the empty space right south of the adult kiss bookstore on the east side or was it the place across the street that is currently another mexican restaurant. He doesn't remember. Incidentally for all looking on I am trying to find out where a place was called "putin on the ritz" west of highland blvd 1 mile on butterfield road which I think is still oak brook. This would be back in the 80's. Just trying to help someone out that has a you tube channel. Thanks all stosh.

I did not know the sign was gone. I went by a week ago or so and people were coming out of there with bar chairs in hand. I figured something was up.

The bars is Stone Park use to close at 6 am and some opened up at 7 am. I remember, in the early 80's being in a place that just let you keep drinking between 6 and 7, use just couldn't buy a drink, so you stocked up before 6. Memory fading, I think it was called Obbies. There were a couple bars on the frontage road south of North Ave. Those eventually closed and Stay Out became the late night / early morning hangout.

And thanks for these reports, fellas. I have not been into the lot even though I go by there back and forth at least three times per week. So that sign that had that date written was a prank or something unknown I will believe. I don't know what they are going to put in there because the place is hidden in that corner and also I believe there is a place a few doors down on that corner that already has the tappers. So what would be the incentive to put another slot place? Not much is going to work there just like the people that bought the former j's were completely clueless as to the local terrain imo. Well I will now on occasion go into the lot to see if anything happens. Thanks again, all. Stosh.

Drove by there on the way home from work. The place is gone. The sign above on the fascade is gone, the inside looks like its been emptied out.

On south harlem off say 55 ish if I recall there used to be what I would refer to as s*it kickin bars. Country places with live music. That would let out at 6 am as well and then just go at it again. Agree with the way this convo has been going in that they are banning dancers, however the 4 hour places and several stop and flops are still lining the strip. As far as bobby's I would believe that if the local fuzz came in and a girl was giving a guy a back massage it would be construed as a no no in their eyes and a reason to shut things down. To me looks like someone had a ha*d on for someone and p*ssed someone off. I mean a random walk in? They know what is going down in those places. They knew what was happening at j's imo. The murder in front of the place brought the heat down and then they had to kick up some dust to justifiy their positions with the villages. Just is. It is really bad! Everything from pot to gambling is legal, however let's not allow our activity to be. Oldman stosh all I know fellas and thanks for all of these posts. I miss our little threads here in melrose.

That's amazing. That whole area. All of it, Melrose, Stone Park, etc. Is such a F'and cesspool of personality that I can't even imagine what the various municipalities really think they are doing with the dancer bans. I mean what do they think is going to happen on Mannheim? That good people who speak articulate and proper English are going to show up there to establish consulting businesses and Von Mar shopping?

As we established earlier, the road itself is a hinterland thorofare. If the good and kind residents really cared about where they were at, the whole area wouldn't have embraced the look and style that it has come to be known for.

I'm not saying that all of Mannheim should be allowed to just sell on the streets, but let's face it. The municipal gove there allowed by-the-hour hotels and 4 am Bar-paradise to be built in the first place. They are just going to drive everything deeper underground and with less transparency with these moves we are discussing here with places like Carl's.

As I mentioned there was sharpie writing on the sign which was taken by mr. Hockey guy. If no one else chimes in I will do a quick drive over on Friday to see if that January date looks like the same writing, style and sharpie. Someone in the field with the village would be using the same sharpies and keeping them in their vehicle I would believe just out of habit. If it looks random it may be a phony. More soon. Thanks to all for the recon. Stosh.

Over the past couple months I've tried getting the whole story but this is what I've been able to find out. Apparently back in November, the locals decided to do a surprise visit to Bobbys. They didn't like whatever they saw when they walked in. At that point, they issued the shut down. Now I do not know exactly what was going on that violated whatever ordinance they cited, but the closure was definitely do to a police visit & not as simple as a building code issue etc. I do know that a few of the former dancers had been hanging out giving the shoulder massages at the bar. Whether or not that had something to do with the bust, I do not know. It also could have been a violation of operating hours or something else alcohol related. I do know that the city pretty much has adopted a no tolerance policy when it comes to these bars having any sort of the entertainment we're use to.

As far as Bobbys re-opening, I do not have any info. As far as the question Posted about opening being "good news", that depends on what type of good news you're hoping for. I doubt the owner would risk completely losing their liquor license as the dancer ban seems to be a permanent thing.

Ok, I shrunk it down here so it could post.

Had to make a airport run over the weekend and figured I would take a peek and see what was going on at Bobby's. The orange sticker is still on the front door and the bar still is closed. But interesting note, the sticker said that no one is allowed in until January 23 (I forgot what time the note said). Good news?

If I recall and one of the members here did take a pic of it in the thread, however I can confirm there was no date on the line whatsoever. So, it appears whatever the issue was is solved and the village came over to write that. Now someone at random could have come along and wrote that date in. If all else fails I will shoot over there this Friday and take a look see to see if it looks random or in the same style and marker as the village. I think there was some actually hand writing with a marker on the sign. Could be way off and I will try to find the post now. Stosh.

Anyone have any otc with, I believe her name is Diana? She is a Columbian with a beautiful ass, small waist and nice sized tits. Sometimes she wears jewels on her eyelids.
