A red-light district is an area where prostitution is allowed.

It's a great indicator of when one has had enough REBEL YELL.

I was surprised by the number of women in the audience when I went to the Gold Club for my one and only stripper bar experience as a patron.

Probably true of the Gold Club Stephen, it has a relatively good reputation, clean and safe.  Hit some of the harder clubs out on the Westside and off atlantic, rarely see women or couples.   So I've heard guys say ::)

Three signs you spend too much time in strip clubs

1.  You go into a club you haven't been in for a month and half the girls have to give you hugs

2.  You haven't been to a club in a while and one of the dancers stops by your house to make sure your okay

and

3.  you meet an acquaintence you haven't seen in a few years, mention you got married, and he asks what club does she work at!!

Its funny because they are true! :D

The Gold Club?  Good reputation?  Who are you guys?  Do some of that research that you think you are so good at.

Gotcha.  So Jacksonville really had a true red-light district way back when?  Houston Street?

BTW... NO ONE is advocating a red light district.  This would be an adult entertainment district.  An area where nightclubs, stripclubs, etc can exist and be patronized without intruding on Churches, schools, and families...

Not sure I'm a big fan of adult entertaiment districts.  On the matter of Sex, Drugs and rock n roll, I'm a libertarian.  But Notnow does have a point, some of the clubs are very rough.  Drug transactions, money laundering does occur, not that I really care about that.  My concern is a adult entertainment district is sort of like making an atomic bomb, the clubs and stores seem to feed off each other until they explode, seems as though they encourage behaviors that other wise wouldn't happen.  Mardi gras in NO is an example of how people in a large group will act out in ways that they normally wouldn't.  I prefer to have the locations sepaerated and spread out, obviously not in neighborhoods and in residential areas.

Would Tampa's Ybor City be considered an adult entertainment district?

I would consider Ybor a great example of a distict such as this.

Ybor City is a nightlife are of mostly just bars & clubs. Tampa has strip clubs all over the city.

I disagree with putting all adult entertainment in one area... a bunch of "randy" drunk guys unleashed on the roads from 11p-2a is a bad idea.

The Doll house and Assumption have coexisted well for years. America needs to lighten up.

If Ybor is an example, I'm all for it.  One of the negatives to Jacksonville attracting young people is the lack of a compact walkable nightlife district.  You can't play with the big boys if you refuse to offer things that enhance the area's overall quality of life for people of all ages.

There are walkable pockets of nightlife in Jax... just not in every neighborhood. The beach has just as many bars / night clubs as Ybor and is more accessable and better quality IMO

Ybor is way out on the outskirts of Tampa and is now completely run down. At 2am cops come out in force in almost riot gear looking to bust heads... last time I was there a horse (cop) bit my shoulder.

Ybor is several times larger than what the beaches (Jax Beach or AB Town Center) bring to the table, unless you're counting everything from Atlantic Beach to Ponte Vedra (which then takes walkability out of the equation).  Its the second largest walkable nightlife district in the state outside of South Beach.  Its also a mile from DT Tampa and connected by streetcar.  Because of an effort to make it more family friendly, its not as live as it was during the 90s, but its still superior to any nightlife pocket Jax brings to the table.  It would be an asset for Jacksonville to have something similar in its urban core.

When was the last time you visited Ybor? It's completely surrounded by ghetto and overun with thugs. I didn't feel safe with my friends and wouldn't advise bringing the kids.
