A long, long time ago.....



I can still remember

How those babies used to make me smile.

And I knew if I had my chance

That I could make those puppies dance

And, maybe, I’d be happy for a while.

I almost got a job at one of the last Playboy Clubs in Columbus OH. I was looking for a part time job, they offered me head bartender full time, but I couldn't give up my main job. By 1982 the Clubs were definitely down market. The Columbus site was way out on the east side in the middle of nowhere in a re-purposed building, possibly an industrial one. I don't think it lasted very long.

Larry Flynt started his business in Columbus. When I first moved there he was trying to make a go with his own Hustler clubs. There was one in Cleveland, one in Cincinnati and one in Cleveland. Those, like his magazine were really sleazy operations.

Hefner "borrowed" his club idea from The Gaslight Club. This was located in the Gold Coast area of Chicago. It had a Gay 90s theme and was a key club, the waitresses wore bustiers and fishnets. There's one franchise left somewhere near O'hare airport.
