Not quite the Players’ Club
There’s something about the name “Flesh Club” that makes it sound more horror-movie than house of ill repute.
The 12-year battle to shut a notorious strip joint in San Bernardino got a major boost Thursday when a judge issued a tentative order closing the Flesh Club and fining the owner $25,000.
“Lewdness is lewdness, and covering it with a patina of ‘free expression’ is a fiction which the law will not tolerate,” San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Donald Alvarez wrote in a 15-page statement that detailed sexual activity at the club.
Wondering where the Flesh Club is located?
The club has been especially annoying to local leaders not just for allegations of prostitution but also because it sits on Hospitality Lane, the one thriving district of hotels and restaurants in a struggling city.
This could be the set for a movie called “Beneath The Valley of The San Bernadino Ultra-Vixens Chainsaw Massacre.”
