The rest of the road is just restaurants, gas stations, and assorted stuff. Piedmont Road near Cheshire Bridge is actually where all the jack shacks and massage parlors are, but they somehow get lumped into Cheshire Bridge Road.
Doll House is also on Chesire Bridge. Tattletails and Kamal 21 are around the corner. A few other strip clubs with no names on the building are in that area. Plus that area as several spas. Plus it's at least one sex club in that area

Forgot about Doll House!

I just think Cheshire Bridge gets a worse rap than it deserves.

Then again, I'm not in the know enough to be aware of strip clubs with no names on the buildings. I do know about the sex clubs, but those are in warehouses down side streets. And those patrons really don't bother anybody, they seem to go out of their way to not be noticed at all!

Those aren't strip clubs, they're what are affectionally known as "jack shacks". You can Google that if you don't know what it is!

But to be fair, those are not on Cheshire Bridge Road. They are on Piedmont. That's what I meant.

You obviously don't know Cheshire Bridge very well.

There's the Cheshire Motor Lodge behind the Collonade ... If you don't know what goes on there, I can't help you. Right next door, on the other side of the Collonade, is another seedy porn shop you left out. Just down the street, there's The Heretic and, right next door, BJ Roosters -- a hustler / stripper / sex club (the name should give it away).

The Doll's House is right across the street. Next door is another notorious head shop (purple something?). On Faulkner Road, behind the Dolls House and across from the Heretic, are a number of gay establishments, including The Jungle and two (2) sex clubs / bath houses. There's more gay-centric businesses, including a couple of bars, a porn shop or two, the always gay friendly Tara Theater and a *very* cruisy gas station parking lot in the area around Cheshire and LaVista. I can't even remember the names of all these places. They become a blur after awhile.

Needless to say, I think the triangle bounded by Cheshire, Piedmont and Lindbergh is probably the seediest inside the city limits of Atlanta. Not that there aren't some decent streets within that section, but it probably has the single largest concentration of vice in the city proper. Most of the other adult establishments are pretty spread out throughout town.

Then, of course, there's Fulton Industrial Boulevard .... but that's a whole other universe.
