GTA Toronto Area - The Palace East
hello,
i am new to the forum....
i really hope i am not breaking any rules by posting this here....i am an ex-dancer and i worked at many clubs in the GTA Toronto area....the one i worked at the most was called "The Palace East" located in Pickering Ontario which is just east of Toronto....this club is now closed....
i am trying to get in touch with a few old friends of mine who worked there with me....i have been searching for years for them and this really is my last resort and chance....it is hard to find them because i can not remember their last names....
the first girl went by the stage name "Victoria" and her real name is Michelle....she has long brown curly hair and lived just east of the club in a town called Courtice....
the second girl went by the stage name "Sparkle" or "Celeste" and her real name is Laura....she has short blonde hair and lived in Toronto....
they worked with me at "The Palace East" around 2002 to 2007 and that is when i lost contact with them....the phone numbers i have for them are no longer in service....
any help would be appreciated....thank you very much....
Re: GTA Toronto Area - The Palace East
Welcome to the forum!
Palace East closed down a few months ago. I never worked there, but I did call in once to see what the housefees were. That was back in June. I was under the impression that they needed girls to come and work, because before I hung up the guy said if I came in he would waive the housefee. They seemed nice, however at that time I was not quite ready to go in to work. I called again a month later and found out the place closed!
You may want to check Hotel Royale in Whitby. I would assume some of the local girls would have gone there. It's the only club in durham now! It sucks because I live out here and if I want to work I have to drive out to Airport/mississauga. I don't like working at the Royale too often.

hi jenni,
thank you for your help....i am actually not even sure if they still dance or not....i have not spoken with them in about 3 years now....i have also moved since then so it would be a very long trip to the hotel royale....i forgot all about that place....
now that you mentioned it, i think they did dance there a few times but i never did....i think they also went to that place in Bowmanville quite often....not sure if it is still there or not and i can not even remember the name of it....

The place in Bomanville is called The Castle, I think. Well it is closed down too. The only club in the area now is The hotel Royale in whitby. There is no other strip club for miles! Oshawa closed down all their strip clubs, which is unfortunate because that is where I live. The people in Oshawa suck IMO, they don't realize that Oshawa will always be a trashy burb no matter how much "cleaning up" they do.
Literally Durham region got rid of all their strip clubs. They want to close the Royale in Whitby too, but the owner fights it.

LOL... ;D
Oshawa or better known as "the dirty 'shawa". Made out of two types of people.
1. The "holier then thou" do-gooders who have nothing better to do with their time then to get into everyone's business and practice their morality by trying to rid Oshawa of what they define as being "trash"-ie. people who fit under #2 category. Many of these types are unemployed and overly involved in trying to make the lives of others hell. They are the type that call the city on their neighbours (without having a decent conversation with them first), spy on their neighbours, record license plates, call the police on just about anyone for just about any reason, and talk shit in the local press about how Oshawa is a "family area" and how they are trying to run #2 type people out of town.
2. Druggies, addicts, activists, single people, sex workers, students. Most are relatively nice and generally keep to themselves. Most are victims of type #1 persons harrassment. Because afterall no one around Oshawa should have to live beside, let alone share a street with a student, single person or someone who is recovering from addiction ::) . Oh no these types should be "run out of town". However that said some #2 types are not exactly all that bright or considerate. Occasionally you will find broken beer bottles, condoms and needles hanging around. Occasionally....
But then #1s will be going to the press and talking about how this is everyday and every waking minute... so we must get rid of them! In other words they over exaggerate the problem.

Yeah Oshawa is trash and will always be trash.
The people in the north end have been trying to get rid of the students. They don't like them being here at all. Apparently (I live in the north end so I know what actually goes on) the students who room in the houses cause lots of problems-they like to party, drink,etc. People who have young kids on the street "fear" these students. The residents in the area want them out and Oshawa is passing laws to make it so that people can only rent to "single families" and not rent out rooms individually.
I do take personal offense to this line of thinking even though I am not a student. It offends me because this treads into human rights territory. People (no matter who they are or what they do) have a right to sufficient housing. Many students cannot afford to rent an apartment or stay in residence. Not only that but even if they can afford to get an apartment on their own, it is a waste of space. So it is better for say 3 students to rent a place and each have their own room.
Meanwhile in the downtown area people also want housing and shelters shut down. They complain of the crime and of how prostitutes live in the area. Yes many of the landlords down there rent to prostitutes (even though they only use the room to live in, not bring customers to).Frankly I don't see an issue with it. I do see a problem with the people who want to "run the hookers out of town". Again this is a human rights issue. Even hookers and people who are into drugs deserve a place to lay their heads at night.
People also complain about the number of single people living in rooming houses downtown. They don't like it. They think they all live a "party lifestyle".
I live in the north end and hate most of the people here in my area. I am sick of the general attitude I get when people find out I am single and don't have children. I am also sick of the bitch next door to me that does not mind her own business and calls me a hooker all the time and even gets away with threatening and assaulting my property. She apparently found out what I do for a living. She regularly will kick my property (if I have garbage cans at the curb), swear at me, call the city for stupid reasons. I have called the cops and they won't do shit all about it...
The bitch has even said to me, "this is a family neighbourhood and you're type is not welcome here" and even her son (who owns the house next to her) told my landlord that he plans on "running that hooker and your basement tenant out of town". FYI the tenant that lives in the basement is a single, young male student in his 20's. They hate him too.

No don't worry you won't offend me...it does seem like a welfare town. It is dirty. The people are dirty. Fuck there are no nice hotels or restaurants in the downtown area....
