I agree with other posters that Priority No 1 is improving the quality of the dancers and that priority No 2 is getting them naked on stage.  Having said that, let's give the club some time to work thru the issues.  They are clearly investing a lot of money into the club and they want it to be successful.  Let's give them a chance to make the changes and see where things are at in a few months time.  

I just paid 3.09/gallon for regular gasoline yesterday at Costco in the Detroit area.  That’s about 50 cents a gallon less than a week ago. Huge drop!  Anyone else seeing much cheaper gas in their area?
 
im kind of surprised it’s gone down so much so quickly especially given the upheaval in the Middle East. 

A 3.2% increase sounds roughly about right. Pretty much aligned with current inflation. Much less of an increase compared to this years increase…but inflation has dropped dramatically in the last 12 months.

Meanwhile, American consumers are feeling increasingly confident that inflation is being tamed despite higher gas prices.

There’s something more behind the slap seen round the world. It was recently reported that,at some point, Chris Rock asked Jada out on a date and she declined. Will probably knew about this and it factored into his decision to slap Rock.

a straight male former escort/provider I know tells me the story of being contacted (years ago) by them for a very lucrative three-way......presumably, it would've required the provider to mess around with Will and I believe that's part of the reason my provider friend said no.....
I know the rumors about Will are not new, but wanted to share!.....gotta wonder if Will's Chris Rock slap up on stage was some sort of masculinity self-validation.......not gonna worry about it, though!
 

I mostly take Jamie Dimon's comments with a grain of salt.  He has been preaching an upcoming recession for three years now...and it still hasn't happened.  Having said that, I do expect one more quarter point rate increase before the end of the year.  That may be the end of the increases if inflation continues falling.  Recent economic reports continue to be good.  Last week's jobs report totally busted through expectations.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.
The Gentlemen4Hire site is interesting.  It positions itself as for women, but it is evident from many of the profiles that they get a lot of enquiries from men.   Some are clearly not interested, but others are open to meets with men.

Hey guys. Last year I was 1 month in UK (London, Cambridge, Manchester and Edinburgh). I met a lot of guys at bars and parties, but also I hired a few escorts to calm my cravings sometimes. I did it in London and Manchester, so I tell you my experiences:

Straight Male Escort in North Wales - ant2628 Male Escort
WWW.GENTLEMEN4HIRE.COM Find Our Straight Male Escorts at Gentlemen4Hire - Extensive Database Of Straight Male Escorts To Accompany You On Dinner Dates & Social Events. He es Anthony. He is from Bristol but I brought him to London to spend a night with me. He is friendly and cute, although a little short for my taste. But he has an athletic body. He is straight (the website where he promotes his services is for mostle female clients actually) but he gets involved with other guys for money. He kisses but not very passionately (I guess because he is straight). I had a good time with him and I would see him again, but I would demand more from him.
 
MANCHESTER
In this city I only hired one hot guy, also from the "gentlemen4hire" website:
Straight Male Escort in Leeds - Andrewjackson Male Escort

He is "Andrew". He lives near Manchester but he moves wherever you ask him to. He is also straight but he agreed to be with me and kiss me (it was delicious!!!). He can also be top with guys. He is tall and very handsome, and his body is beautiful like a greek god., very muscular. I would definitely see him again, although he is a bit expensive.

Long-timers (like @Luv2play and me) know that the "winner" in the eternal Campus/Stock competition cycles and recycles over the years.  What I miss are those years when both places (not to mention Taboo) all had large stables of dancers worth spending time with, and not just on the occasional weekend night or two!

It's interesting that despite all the hoopla and promotion of Stock these last few months on this forum, that Campus emerges as the "winner" between the two competing stripper bars which are only a block apart in Montreal. A winner at least in the review just given us by Fresh, who brought a fresh pair of eyes to the situation. 

Thoughts from first time visitor so take with a grain of salt. I arrived on Thursday and planed to visit Stock and  Campus on Thursday and Friday night.
First  a quick observation about the Village. The streets and bars were busy on Thursday evening. There were a significant number of unhoused and or impaired individuals on the streets. My reaction to their presence was sadness for their situation. I never felt threatened or harassed. My hope is to find a solution to help these individuals.
While the restaurants and streets were busy on Thursday night the clubs were not. I visited Stock first and what a disappointment. Only two dancers who were attractive and few customers. Stayed around for a while hoping it would get better. It did not so moved on to Campus.. totally different vibe. More dancers, customers etc. 
There was a steady rain on Friday night so the streets were less crowded but the clubs were much busier. I wanted to give Stock another chance but sadly nothing changed. On to Campus….wow! Beautiful men! The variety was unbelievable. I was approached many times for privates but after a courteous refusal they moved on. I did have a  three song private with a muscled dancer. He was very generous and I left with a smile on my face. 
 
I’ve visited many clubs over the years and Campus stacks up well. Hopefully, Stock will improve because options are nice.
 
 

Well I am a 70's/80's hard rock fan.  Still going to shows of Aerosmith, Kiss, Alice Cooper, etc.  Have seen every big rock act over the years: The Who, Zeppelin, Stones, Yes, Frampton, Seager, Van Halen, Iggy Pop, Jethro Tull, ACDC, Elton John...the list goes on and on.  I also had a Punk Rock/New Wave phase in the 80's.  That was huge fun.  
To be honest, I like almost every genre of music out there.  Just saw Gaga in Vegas on Wednesday night: Superb!  The only music I really don't like is country.  Some crossover country rock or pop is tolerable...but the majority of core country music it is just crap.  Most of the songs sound the same to me:  Twang twang twang.
My message to the OP is enjoy your rock and metal!!

Got my flu + 4th booster yesterday.  I had a Walgreens Band-Aid on each bicep.  I looked like such a macho stud as I left the store using my walker.

AND ... several men with hairy chests. Mmmm. One of 'em was this really BIG MUSCLE BEAR. Amazing to watch. AND amazing in a private dance. What a sweetheart. WOOF.

I was in Montreal again last weekend. Stock was LOUD. Dancers were aggressive. Campus was a blast. HOT men .... Generous Men. Saw some from years ago. Happy Hour was VERY happy. No matter what  your opinion is about the Village and the Bars ... everyone should go at least once to have the experience.

That would be awesome news... well except that it's in Florida.
