    Velvet Glove is now Called "The Place"

    When I was around last week they had re-opened and re-arranged the old neon sign and taken down the one saying dancers (but not the one saying massage). Seemed a bit busier than before with a few chicas hanging around most nights but they didn't manage to intice me in.

    I may be wrong but it still comes over as a bit of a clip joint trying to drag in guys from the AIs looking to get away from their wives for a while.

    When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me.

    Are there new owners, or did the last one try something new? I was there when it first opened, and hung with the owner at Lou's. I didn't think it would last, but I hoped it would... the owner was very enthusiastic. I got doubtful during the tour of the place, when I saw the owner's meager living arrangement upstairs.

    Wasn't sure about the name, which pretty much reflects my level of interest in the place. For the sake of accuracy can someone with sufficient admin privileges please amend the title of this thread to reflect this? Thanks.

    That's good, considering they never had any dancers.

    Maybe this place could be nice with the right management.

    I lost all sense of my memory since I met Jayman, Gutterman, Eluscio and of course, Mr. Bambino. I use to be a straight, uptight executive who couldn't dance.

    I will be on all fours crawling along beside ya, Gutterman
    Shuffling and Muff'n

    Looks like it is time to call Micky Mantle's doctor and schedule that liver transplant.
