There was a time in the early 80’s when I lived one mile from a Titty Bar over in NE Portland.
The now infamous Club 205.
As far as I know, it’s still there.
Back then it was basically a neighborhood blue collar bar with a nice side of local Bikers too.
In other words, it wasn’t for snowflakes.
They had 2 stages and I had some wild times in that place.
Seriously wild.
Then in the 90’s it changed hands and they spent a bunch of money upgrading the old joint and turned it into a Yuppie hangout.
Thankfully I had been long gone for a long time by then.
I’ll never forget the long haired, bearded Biker dude riding a ’45 Military flavored Harley up into the parking lot that had 4 inches of snow in it, sat inside for a couple hours and got lit up and then slid that old bastard back out onto the road sideways and rode off into the dark like it was nothing.
That stupid Tik Tok video up top just reminded ,me of all that from 40+ years ago.
I can only hope that places like that still exist somewhere.
Last night, a neighbor in town referred to me as “that elderly gentleman down the street”. I think Ima gonna nap for a few days.
In the end all we can make are memories
In spring of 71 at lunch we would all walk down a mile or so to the enlisted bar. They had a stripper on stage twirling tassles. We called her banana titties.
