Dream Girls strip club is all set for its grand opening on Monday, which is also opening day for the Seattle Mariners:

- Peter Buck
To enjoy the schadenfreude of this photo, remember that the baseball team, um, mounted and blew several legal attempts to prevent the strip club from opening because it would have “adverse impacts repugnant to a family entertainment environment.” The most ludicrous legal action, by far, was a pair of lawsuits filed the Mariners and Safeco Field that insisted the strip club must be banned because it was too close to “parks.” Those “parks”? The pay-to-enter stadium, a padlocked parking lot, a sidewalk, and even an overpass. Really.
A reliable source says that, all along, the plan was to open the club by opening day, April 12, when the Mariners will play the Oakland A’s. There’s a press preview tomorrow, but the first day of business (a soft opening or a hard opening?) will be on Friday.
Another season with a prudish team of losers, here we come!

Is it Showgirls or Dream Girls?
Do advertisers in The Stranger get a news story alongside their paid space?
They are all owned by showgirls but have different names, little darlings is the same way.
I’m all for opening up a Lusty Lady as near as possible to the Chihuahua Museum of Ass™.
Gross.
Strip club + No booze = Don’t care
A stripclub opening in my neighborhood!? Time to lower my daily ATM withdrawl limit.
What’s the difference? At either place, you’ll blow fifty bucks and leave feeling frustrated.
I wonder how many male city council members will be at the opening?
You’ll have to get drunk at the neighboring, more family-oriented, park first.
Heh heh… you said “mounted” and “blew”… heh heh
Ugh. Strip clubs are for losers and douchebags. Not sexy.
Seriously. Titty bars – booze is fucking retarded. I couldn’t believe that was the rule when I moved there. Why would anyone ever go to a place like that?
@10, nothing says “family friendly” like $9 beers.
Go A’s!
A better name for it would be the “Get it Here Cafe”.
or “Leftfield lapdance lapidary….”
or “OMG, it’s a Poon Run”
or “RBI and TnA”
or “the Catchers Hairy Mitt”
or “Pitchers new mound”
“the dugout”
or “take me out to the labia field”
“ground ball, literally”
or “short stoppers delight”
“check out the double play, bow chikka wow wow”
or “spitballs of fury”
“displaying the Pennant”
or “sweet spot on my bat”
o.k then….
F-ck the A’s
sorry, the second one should be, “MY oh MY !! It’s a Poon Run”
The whole world isn’t about your dick.
You’re kind of my hero, Pissy McSlogbot. Take me out to the labia field, indeed.
Fuck you Milton Bradley! Last play of the game, shot to left field, off the wall, MB didn’t even try to get it. Walk off RBI double. His tears nourish me.
@12: To each his/her own. Prudishness doesn’t do anything for me personally.
Nothing wrong with being a bit prudish,
@24: It’s not about prudishness, it’s about personality. I’m turned on by deviance, not douchebaggery.
