STRIKE THREE AND I'M OUT.

STRIKE THREE AND I'M OUT, (Frazer Chronicles)

Sadly there won't be three additional flesh peddlers adorning small communities, two in the upper Midwest, the other in Maine. I blogged my faithful readers the other day about the exploits in Vassalboro, Main and the eventual closure of the Grandview Coffee Shop sometime next month. As an avid flesh watcher in my own right, "I feel your pain Vassalboro."

Now comes news that an attempt to open a pole clinging establishment in the northern resort hub of Traverse City, Michigan lost it's battle with the prudish city council. I can think of no better indoor sport in the dead of winter, when the winds of winter come calling, then to be watching a talented young vixen swinging around on a pole, while locals enjoy the show with a glass of their favorite libation.

I used to live in Traverse City and I can remember a few magical nights of bear skin and lap dances at nearby  Williamsburg strip club on old U.S. 31. The beer was cold and the babe's were great, all except that one with the tattoo's of Johny on her bicep, I didn't think girls were supposed to have biceps, bigger then mine.

Now we come to what amounts to a double whammy here in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the home of the world champion Packers. I will say this, the attempt to create good man entertainment was truly innovative. As a licence was applied for at one location, the same owners were checking out the market at another location that they owned. And to top the whole thing off, one of the owners was also a wood-be politician and the other a substitute grade school teacher.

The Press Box has been in business here in Green Bay for 20 or 30 years, needless to say "I have been there.....once." Outdoor volley ball courts highlight summer activity and the owners, observing the usual slow winter months, hit on a novel idea, allow armature pole dancers the chance to "pole around" a bit to liven up the crowd.....and it worked.

Deciding to become completely legitimate, there was an application to open up a pole spot several miles from the Press Box in a vacant bar. Sadly the Protection and Welfare Committee turned down the request and further, busted the Press Box pollsters, why I'll never understand. This one slipped right by me, I had no idea that Green Bay had the possibility of another flesh spot, the Oval Office is one of two others. Green Bay is a progressive community that offers all types of art.

I can understand a rejection of a stripe club where the building is located, three blocks from an amusement park for kids, but shutting down the Press Box, man, that's raw. Don't you know, all a guy has to do is give one of the pole riding babes  $20 in a birthday card and it's no longer a pole or lap dance, it's just a guy giving a girl a birthday card and that's legal, you can look it up, it's a state law.
