Downtown Jacksonville. Needs A Topless Bar?

[thelakelander]

Too bad it won't happen.  COJ owns the land and doesn't plan on selling it to Sleiman or anyone else.

It would be nice if Jacksonville had an adult entertainment district.  One obstacle, IMO, would be the current laws that ban alcohol in establishments with nudity.

Eateries??  I though most strip clubs had a buffet of thier own?  Mmmmm, boobies and prime rib!

Better yet, fill the void left by Twisted Martini's closing and have a topless tapas bar.

Plenty of places available...........no bulldozing needed! Some of the Urban Outdoorsmen could be parking attendants and traffic directors! Jobs people.............JOBS! Revenue for our City!

So where should we support single mothers on the NorthBank?

I seem to remember Howard's G-String Lounge and maybe a place called The Comic Book Club.

Jo-Ann's Chili Bordello seemed to do well when it was on W. Forsyth, but I don't know how much skin was actually exposed.  I think people actually went there for the chili.

Has anyone been to Printer's Alley in Nashville? That would be awesome in Downtown Jacksonville...

It would be really cool to see a new type of Jo-Ann's Chili Bordello too - something of a destination restaurant with a little envelope pushing - where you come in for more than just the food.

[[RIP Jo-Ann who passed away last March. She certainly left her mark on the Jacksonville community!]]

.....and maybe a strip club would tick off FBC just enough to where they decide to move to the 'burbs where they belong!

I googled the Comic Book Club and it must have been a night club because all the references were about Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Bros.  Wasn't the Siver Dollar at Eighth and Main in Springfield?

sure...let's just move one more thing out to the suburbs...what a great idea!

[CS Foltz]

tufsu............got one on the Philips end of University, three on Philips in the same general area and I remember one on Beach at the 95 end before the overpass! Need something downtown to increase revenue for the City so that they may be able to afford to contract your company for some more prefeasability work  Downtown needs some help.............open for suggestions..................what ya got?

[tufsu1]

well CS...one suggestion would be not to kick FBC out of downtown...they bring close to 10,000 folks downtown every Sunday....instead, why not capitalize on that market.

I dont mind them being on NorthBank just as long as they dont take up so much space.

A quality international caliber downtown is not EVER exclusionary, and should be in all things inclusive. Baptists downtown, YES, the more the merrier... Catholic's, Muslim's, Atheists, Straights, Gays, and the just plain confused... Here is some old hippie wisdom for y'all:

Who, The
Tommy (1969)
Welcome

Tommy:

Come to my house
Be one of the comfortable people.
Come to this house
We're drinking all night
Never sleeping.

Milkman come in!
And you baker,
Little old lady welcome
And you shoe maker

Come to this house!
Into this house.

Come to this house
Be one of us.
Make this your house
Be one of us.

You can help
To collect some more in
Young and old people
Lets get them all in!

Come to this house!
Into this house.

Ask along that man who's wearing a carnation.
Bring every single person
from Victoria Station,
Go into that hospital
and bring nurses and patients,
Everybody go home and fetch their relations!

Come to this house
Be one of the comfortable people.
Lovely bright home
Drinking all night never sleeping.

We need more room
Build an extension
A colourful palace
Spare no expense now

Come to this house
Be one of us
Come into this house
Be one of us

Come to this house
Into this house

Welcome

OCKLAWAHA
