Portland Strip Clubs: Strip club blight
by exoticinportlandI understand that freedom of speech extends to protecting the operation of strip clubs here in Oregon. I’m OK with that. What I do have a problem with is the lewd and provocative signage that is offensive and in your face. For example, there is a strip club in Beaverton on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway called “The Dolphin II.” It is a tasteful brick building that simply says “A Gentlemen’s Club.” No problem.
If you head just a little farther west on Canyon Road, there is a tasteless string of strip clubs with trashy signage. There is Hotties, a barn-type building, painted black, covered with leaping flames that glow in the dark. The sign shows naked females with devil tails and horns. Next door is the Pussycats, billed as “hotter than Hotties,” also showing naked female forms. Next to that is another strip club boldly advertising Vegas-style VIP lap dances, with private rooms, also depicting naked female forms.
