My Flight is Delayed, I’m Going to the Strip Club
In case you didn’t know it, Raleigh “was long overdue” for another topless club. So says one of the new owners of a planned topless club near RDU, the News & Observer reports today.
So long as the long arm of the law doesn’t get in the way, the club would open in spring 2009 on Mount Herman Road, according to the article. The club will be called The Runway.
One of the new owners told the N&O that he’s taking on the project because he believes there’s a need because apparently there’s only four or five other similar vice venues around these parts.
Despite peer pressure by some friends, I’ve never been to a strip club. Without being grossly inappropriate on my blog, may I ask, have you ever been to any such clubs in the Triangle-area? If so, do you think there’s really a “need” for another?
What I'm Doing

You’re not missing much at a typical strip club. The way they’re depicted in movies and on TV is basically the way they are in real life. Although the crowd isn’t just perv old men, drunk college boys, and lonely middle-aged business men. Often you’ll see couples there, and groups of friends enjoying a beer with a *different* kind of scenery than the usual bar. The first time you go to one, it’s hard to ignore all the women in their birthday suits. After about 10 minutes or so, it wears off and it’s just another place… only it feels a little more adult than the college bar you were at last week.
The only “need” there is for another strip club is the same “need” there is to build a new McDonald’s three blocks away from another one. Convenience. Now those lonely middle-aged business men I spoke of earlier will have a place closer to RDU where they can take in the best of Raleigh while waiting for their connecting flight to El Paso.

I’ve never been, but I’d so go. I’ve dropped peeps off and picked them back up before… and actually I hear they generally are *not* like they are on tv or in movies… and from the one view I got as they went in the doors last time, I agree… dark lighting to dim out their faces (which I’ve been told that more times than not are not too pretty), spotlights shining from chest down only… no great dancers, rarely an actual performer, no real pole talent… just women swaying around naked, trying to get you to buy a lap dance.
maybe that’s just the super-cheap seedy ones. i’d only go to see a real performance!

The “need” is that person’s need to make some money. :o)
