I don't think I have ever come across an airport strip joint in my
travels.


Closest I've seen is in Davenport, IA. Land at DVN, and there are two or
three just down the road a piece.

I've got a buddy who is getting married soon, and I suspect we might be
taking him to one (or more) of them shortly...


Have you considered a business expansion, Jay?

Have you considered a business expansion, Jay?

Funny, but... :-)

Actually, we've worked very hard to clean up the hotel's local reputation.
Remember, before we came on the scene it had sunk into "residence hotel"
status, and was locally known as the "prom night" hangout. Lots of
sorority and fraternity parties, too.

In the 1980s there used to be a "massage parlor" on this site, too.
Apparently it was pretty much just a brothel, and the locals remember that
for a long, long time.

We've chased away that old clientele, but it's still been much harder
marketing to the locals -- who still remember the area the way it used to
be -- than it's been marketing regionally or nationally.

So, long story short, no, we're not looking at starting a strip joint. ;-)

I bet Jay knows where one or two are, though. :-)

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

Heh, heh, heh. *Ahem*

Why yes, George, I can locate a couple of "target-rich environments" nearby,
as requested....

How nearby is _nearby_?

Five minutes. ;-)

For now, anyway. The "Coralville Ballet" (as many of us euphemistically
call our local strip joint) is strategically located on the future site of
our new, federally funded, built-from-scratch rain forest! (I'm NOT
kidding.)

Although, in honesty, the really "good" clubs are about an hour way, in
Davenport. Around here they don't allow much skin to be shown.

need

We don't even have strip joints in Washington. I think they are illegal. So
much for Midwestern values. :-)
