But I think men in their 30s or 40s who go all the time are pretty massive losers. By then, you should be a lot more sophisticated and have figured out how to deal with women in your normal life instead of having to pay them to be around you. And if you haven't...you should at least visit massage parlors and pay women who will actually service you instead of tossing around money for a giant tease.

I'm sure the dancers highly prefer the college aged, 20-something customers, too. They'd never say it, but I have to believe they're rather creeped out by regular customers.

It would be great if somebody could come up with a decision grid that would help strip clubs locate in communities where they are welcome.

Mardi Gras was maybe the most oddly located strip club I’ve ever seen. Didn’t believe my roommates in sandy springs back about 15 years ago when they told me there was a strip club next to the Publix!

Grocery stores these days have so many intra-store departments -- pharmacies, banks, coffee shops, gas stations and even bars.

In the right location, an instore strip club might work. Catch a pole dance while the deli is slicing your ham, or the pharmacy is filling your blood pressure prescription.

I’d like to add that Mardi Gras had a volley ball court in the back where strippers would play topless. Maybe they still do but this was around 1995. I was a freshman in high school and my friends and I would ride our bikes up to the shopping center and peak through the knot holes in the fence. Great times.

Flashers was the first one I’d ever been to. A group of us (high school friends - guys and girls) while on winter break freshman year in college used fake ids to get in. They brought out a fruit tray for us Lol.

“Forced to cut hours and facing the possibility of competition, the owners of Pink Pony strip club filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday.

Chapter 11 is known as “reorganization” bankruptcy, allowing a business to restructure its debts while remaining in operation.“

My thing is and you can tell who aren't familiar with strip clubs, because you think most people go to strips club is just get some sexual fix. Your failing understand people go to party.

Most people who go to strip clubs go in groups of people. Yes the sexuality is part of the draw, but the biggest is the fact it's a "CLUB!" people go to socialize and party, That why alcohol sales is an issues. Because a lot strip club make most or half there money off that. so the same demographic you see a dance club is pretty much same you see at strip club. You be amazed at how much straight women go to female strip clubs on Week ends.

We are talking about Sandy Springs.

Leave them in the city. They have no place in a suburban Publix shopping center.
