All quiet on the Eastern Front

[Billions 687]

Very strange atmosphere on Walking Street tonight.

 

Five of the seven Russian clip joints dark.....no lights,no touts spilling out across the road,no Ludmilas dancing in the elevated windows. Word is that Crazy Russian Girls,Deja Vu and Applesin up by Soho Square have pulled the plug,along with Virgins (opposite Alcatraz) which only lasted a month. Moulin Rouge was other place closed,unlit and not populated by Olgas. The other two,Galaxy and XO (owned by the same gangster) had the lights on but no dancing girls on podiums or in the glass cubicles and no touts in skyscraper heels handing out flyers in the street. In fact,not a single Russian anywhere to be seen.

 

An impending raid,or inspection imminent by the Powers That Be ( but unsurprisingly leaked to those who might have work permit issues)?

 

Or could the closures be permanent....at least in some cases?

 

Time will tell.
