#Roommates, as the coronavirus continues to force thousands of businesses to close, many were happy to learn that adult entertainment spots continued to remain open—however, that has now officially changed. Magic City, arguably the most popular strip club in the country, has just announced that it will be closing for the foreseeable future and other strip clubs in the Atlanta area are following suit.
According to @AJCNews, Magic City, which opened in downtown Atlanta back in 1985, revealed the news that it was closing its doors “until further notice” in a post on the club’s Facebook page. The closure is a response to the growing demand for social distancing as the country rallies together to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
However, there is a bit of positive news, as the kitchen will remain open for food delivery via Postmates, but there will be no dining in for customers.
Daryl Mapp, Director of Branding for Magic City, had this to say regarding the decision:
“Our Mayor has taken decisive action and while we could have taken other measures such as limiting guests to under 250, we believed that this was the most prudent course to support her leadership and protect the city we love.”
Several other Atlanta strip clubs have also decided to temporarily close, including The Cheetah and the Pink Pony in Brookhaven. The Cheetah did not specify when it would reopen, but Pink Pony said it would shut down until March 30th.
As a reminder, social distancing means that reduction of the coronavirus can be maintained if individuals remain at least 6 feet apart.
Roommates, what are your thoughts on this?
