I believe it was something Gogo... and no it's not.

Remember everybody saying that the townies didn't like the students

 

[Cloned]

Place was flat out nasty.

Haha. I went there for a few bachelor parties. The "lap dance" area was a chair behind a plant. I never saw a girl there that was remotely attractive. I heard it is gone now but I have no real confirmation on that. Man, I miss that place.

 

[CloneIce]

Where else can you get a lap dance behind a plant and see a stripper missing her two front teeth?

I want to say that before I moved to Michigan for a job back in the late '90's that my friends took me there and bought me a lap dance as a going away present. I remember having a pretty good time there :smile:

OK, I have to reply to this thread. There was a strip club in Cambridge or Huxley, or one of the towns, along Highway 69 south of Ames in the early 70s. If memory serves me well, it was on the east side of the highway. I went once, probably in "71 or "72. Once was enough. It was worse than nasty, but crowded.

I think the place you are talking about is now Water Street Bar & Grill. You can still see where the stripper pole was. We generally hit it up before or after every football game.

The name of that place is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't come up with it. I was in there once and the waitress brought shots to us under her "mammaries". She lifted on up and it had like 4 full shot glasses under it.

Went to Cambridge one as well. Once was enough.

Big Jims....he was big and was a heck of a nice guy really.

I think the place in Huxley was called Big Jim's if I remember correctly. I went there a few times about 40 years ago when I was young and a little ornery and part of that "irresponsible" generation of young people.

 

[ICCYFAN]

I'm left with a sense of nostalgia to hear that Chris's is closed. It was the place of choice for bachelor parties when my 18-20 year-old friends got married and we needed a place that didn't card (because EVERYBODY was under-age)...

You were looking at teeth?:smile:

Every time the Cambridge strip club gets mentioned I think of the time someone told me they saw a pregnant woman dancing there. Not sure how much truth there is to it, but for that place it seems possible which is disturbing enough.

Mid-70's there was B's Lounge in downtown Ames. Not as sleazy as the others and had cold Bud on special and my favorite pinball machine, Freedom by Bally. There was a dive strip bar another block away (just out the back door of B's and across the street). Was in there one hot summer evening when they had the front door propped open and a guy road his Harley in and pulled right up to the bar. They served him and he drank his beer sitting on his hog. It was just that kind of place.
:yes:

Almost forgot another strip bar over by the railroad tracks in the early '70's. Think it was called the Peanut Tree. Chris Taylor was the bouncer.

Did Big Jim's turn into the Outer Limits?

Big Jim's turned into ashes. It burned down in the mid 90's I believe.

It wasn't just you, your entire generation spent like wealthy drunk sailors at a strip club. Thanks for ******* the future.:wink:
