I just found out two Landmark Strip Clubs I used to go to 40 some years ago are gone.

One was Club 205 on Stark Street by Mall 205.

It was at 99th and Stark and at one time I lived on 84th about a half a block North of Stark so it was literally just down the street.

I’ve written about some of the escapades I had back in the day in that joint before. Including when before it was even called Club 205 and when it was a neighborhood Biker Bar with Strippers when I first found it.

For a Strip Club, they actually had some pretty killer deals on Steak lunches and the steaks were excellent after they remodeled it into Club 205. It was a High End joint for quite a while, almost a Gentleman’s Club.

A buddy I worked with knew the guy who bought their beef and he was the Head Chef of a rather ritzy restaurant in NE Portland at the time.

According to this, it’s been torn down except for one wall so they can call it a “remodel” and Chik-Fil-A is going to build a new fast Food joint.

The other one was actually pretty famous regionally and was a bit South of Portland on the East Side.

The Acropolis Steak House and Strip Club has been listed for sale.

The last time I was in that joint was when my cousin’s boy turned 21 and I think he’s either 36 or 37 now.

I couldn’t tell you how their steaks were because I was always blitzed by the time we got there from Bar Hopping all night back in the 80’s.

Times are a changing.

I don’t know if it’s still true but at one time Portland had more Stripper Bars Per Capita than any other city in the United States.

I do know that now it is full of Homelss Druggies and Commies which are two very good reasons I stay the fuck out of that shithole and two good reasons why I hadn’t been in either one of those bars for years.

That and I got married and quit drinking well over a decade ago.

First I would like to thank all of you that stop by here to see what has dribbled out of the twisted minds of me and my partner in crime CederQ personally.

If it weren’t for you this place wouldn’t exist.

God Willing, come March, I will have been splattering the internet with my crap for twenty freaking years in one form or another.

That is a geologic age in internet terms.

So Thank You For Your Support From The Bottom Of My Heart.

I would like to send my hopes that you all have a Merry Christmas and a fresh set of restraints for the cioming New Year.

You are going to need them I believe.

So in the Spirit Of Christmas and as a fresh offering from my demented outlook on life, I would like to present to you a Jolly Good rendition of Jingle Bells.
