We need a strip club. Conventioneers love them and expect them. The talent on Water Street will not cut it. I am being brutally honest, not my normal sarcastic self.
There is a classic movie called "Paint Your Wagon", a musical starring Clint East and Lee Marvin, yes, a musical. In the movie, they send a raiding party out from their mining town of men and hijack a stagecoach of French ladies of the night to populate the local saloon. I nominate Charlie Smithgall to lead our raiding party to consist of Jim PIckard, Ted Darcus, Tom Baldridge, Nevin Cooley, and Gib Armstrong. They can hijack a vanload of ladies on their way down the Garden State Parkway to AC and divert them to Lancaster. Then they can convert the soon-to-be-closed Smithgall's Pharmacy on King Street into a brothel to service the conventioneers. If we are making a list to get ready for the CC, this needs to be on it!

Hmmm, it seems that the list is sandbagged a little.

How about contacting Big Al's in Reading for a franchise location in Lancaster!

The old Smithgall's location would be perfect!

But I really don't know anything about that type of place. I never been there. Ever.

I've never been to Al's Diamond Cabaret either. But they sure do advertise a lot.

The old Smithgall's location is too far away from the convention center. A better location would be the building next door to the hotel Lancaster City is building on E. King St., across from the Fulton Bank. The building is for sale after being vacant for many years, and will probably need a LOT of renovations. But the location is PERFECT.

Nothing but a bunch of BS.
