You are describing a bad visit to Atlanta. It sounds the same, but I know New York is on a bigger scale and the people more rude.cfs
Me and my old business partner went to Atlanta in 1994 for the Diamond Comics Retailers Seminar. My only memories are going to the Gold Club at about 12 noon and getting table dances from totally nude (Playboy caliber) women for $10!
I used to know the billboard model for the Gold Club. She looked better than Heather Locklear at her best. She was perfect looking. I had her phone number and called her a couple of times while she was going through a long breakup with her boyfriend. One night I finally met him at a late night club. Rhey showed up together at a place I hung out after most of the other bars closed. It was a private club that you bought a monthly membership to and after that the liquor laws didn't apply. Anyway.. I thought her boyfriend was a really great guy and that she should stay with him. I was also in love with someone else. I never called her again after that. A bar back there used to also date the girl I was in love with. I went there to tell him when she'd passed away and that was the last time I'd ever been there. That club was too fast paced... hustle, hustle, hustle. It was expensive too. At it's peak it had the best looking girls in town. It eventually closed after a lot of sex & celebrity scandal. Towards the end they had really gone down hill. Back when it opened there was only a few places where strip clubs could open. Eventually though the suburbs started seeing clubs pop up and they challenged the laws which had previously kept them out. Once the number of clubs increased, it diluted the number of hot girls. All it took was some super rich guys walking in and offering them more money than they could make on a given night. The clubs were left with average or unattractive girls that had crappy personalities.
I consider most of the dancers to be used up or brainwashed now. The club owners don't have the control they once had. It's almost like they hook the young girls up with the older jaded dancers and new girls either get immersed in drugs or become jaded themselves. The clubs take advantage of the girls and they are too immersed in the power they have over men to even recognize that they are being used.
Strip clubs are not a good thing. The women think men are all stupid slimeballs trying to save them and pull them away from the life that is spoiling them. The men all think the women are cheap whores that only want their money. Since it's a stalemate, the girls end up with whoever give them the free or cheap drugs.
Dancers have personality qualities that I like. Unfortunately they live for the moment and anyone who tries to make them look beyond the moment makes them feel either guilty or feels like a ball and chain dragging them down. My whole life is screwed up because I was in love with a dancer. She passed away about 18 years ago but I still get a Christmas card or phone call from her mom every year. After she passed away, I told her dad that if he ever needed anything, to call me... even if it was just to bring the newspaper in from the front yard.
