I live in the Tampa Bay area. Sadly we're famous for strip clubs...... that movie Magic Mike was filmed here for that reason.

Not in our sleepy little town. When we lived in the city before we bought this house, we were about 4 blocks from a seedy strip club. I didn't love that appartment very much.

Same as @highwire--we live in the 'burbs, so no. There are very few bars around us, let alone strip clubs!

Nope. In the burbs. There is one about a 15 min drive away but not within crawling distance. A couple pubs, and those are awesome!

There's a sex toy shop on the next block over from me, does that count?

There is a street, maybe 15 mins away from us, that has a ton of strip clubs and shops. Doesn't bother me.

@JoJoGirl: omg, funny story. I have it in my head that you're a MA, but I am not positive. Anyway, when we were like 18 my girlfriend & I went in the one on Newbury st and bought a vibrator as a gag gift for a friend who'd broken up with her lame bf, like a 'haha see how easily he's been replaced?!' anyway my BFF was paying & the guy goes 'do you ladies need some batteries to go with that?' and she goes 'yeah, and do you have a bathroom we could use?' his face was to die for! Hahaha, still makes me laugh. Anyway I hope you live near that one!

We have a few within a couple miles. Some trashier than others. We don't have giant billboards with half naked strippers advertising them though.

I live within a couple miles of a gentlemans club. I am not a fan. There is also a Casino extremely close to where we live. We are moving in the next week to a much nicer area. The only thing surrounding our new home is farm land.

@mrs. bird: I am fairly certain I live within 3 blocks of the one you are talking about!
There are two 'sex shops' a few blocks over from me. I'm pretty sure 99% of their business is bachelorette or break up gag gifts, not any serious purchases, so I don't consider it a problem. Very convenient when you need some naughty cupcake toppers for a b-lette party.

Not locally, we have quite a few in town so about 20 minutes away. Both male and female strip clubs and two or three adult shops.

@mrs. bird: Haha that's hilarious!! I actually lived down the street from that exact place for years! I'm not downtown anymore though - moved to the suburbs when I met DH. But can never be too far from one, right?

We're in the suburbs, but about 10-15 minutes out of the city, so I guess they're close-ish.

I live in the San Fernando Valley it's pretty big so there are lots of adult clubs and stores. Plus we are the "porn Capitol of the US". Great thing to be known for. At our old house there was a boat parked on the street behind us called "the money shot" we were pretty sure there was lots of filming going on there.

No but when we first moved in together we lived up the street from a strip club. I thought it was interesting that it was packed at 11am everyday and that they advertised lunch specials.

@sorrycharlie: the signs for the ones in providence creep me out! Too much, way too much!
@Foodnerd81: Very nice!! I'd love to live over there : )
@JoJoGirl: I lived in newton when I was in college, now I'm out in central ma. Haha, masshole thread jack! Sorry!

There are two sex-type shops right near us...a "Condoms To Go" and a "Condom Sense" (I live in Dallas). My brother thinks its hilarious.

The only strip club in town is about 2-3 miles away. It's referred to as 'the dirty sock' It's funny though, because it used to be on the edge of town and now the town has grown around it.. so now it's this little dumpy building in the middle of a bunch of nice developments!
wonderful cherry / 21504 posts
@JoJoGirl: Yup sounds like we were almost neighbors! I love the neighborhood, so we are staying until we really need a second bedroom (when we won't be willing to pay the rent it would entail).

Yes, there is one right across from my work actually. I always ask visitor who call for directions of they know where the strip club is (especially if it's a male). Most of the reply yes and I say we're right across the street.

Portland Oregon has the highest number of strip clubs per capita, so they're everywhere. None near me, though.

We're in the Tampa Bay area but live in St. Pete, so there aren't any near our house, but there is one right around the corner from where I work in Tampa and several others just a couple of miles away. Like @artbee said, we are home of the "Vegas-style strip club." This is actually where Channing Tatum used to work. Lots of massage parlors too!

@Foodnerd81: LOL... sounds like we're getting close to talking about Woncord again.... maybe we need to migrate to the meetup thread? And yes, I loved loved loved that neighborhood too (of course) - DH already owned a condo in the 'burbs and dragged me kicking and screaming by my fingernails out of there since I rented. Probably good though because I was single-handedly supporting B. Good.

Nope, nothing of the sort, there's practically no businesses near me at all except for small ones like vets, dentist, and ..wow, that's all I can think off the top of my head. I don't even have a supermarket in the town!
honeydew / 7504 posts
We have an adult shop about a mile from our house. It doesn't bother me at all. But ask me again when our son is 15, ha ha.

@meaganceleste: Comdom Sense might be a chain, cuz there is one on South Street in Philly!

@ladyfingers: ok, I need to clarify, 'massage parlors' you mean like when you hear ppl talk about men going to them for... Manual attention, yes? Those are legal in fl?? I had no idea!
pomelo / 5331 posts
@mrs. bird: Yes ma'am, that's exactly the kind I'm talking about. I don't know that it's really legal per se... but I think they have to do a raid to find them doing anything illegal, because from the outside, it's just a plain old massage place (albeit with a strongly Asian slant -- don't blame me, it's true!!! pictures of geishas and stuff. it's like it's code or something!!)
The main drag here is Kennedy Blvd, that's where most of them are concentrated, and my friend's husband calls it "Jack Off Kennedy Blvd." So bad, but so true!

@ladyfingers: there's actually a Chinese reflexology place on my street. I went there once for a massage and there was a sign on the wall that said 'Do not request inappropriate acts of our therapists. Thank you, the management' :-O
