    I'm not sure that Cheerleaders was even closed after the guy shot the dancer there. I wonder how the decision to close Wizzards in these circumstances relates.

    Club Wizzards was one of the first clubs I worked in when I lived in P.A.

    I thought it was kinda strange that the club itself was in a basement and that a "Chilis" resteraurant was directly above the club.

    It's probably because it's considered a ghetto club. I know it was one of the best mixed clubs way back in the day but now not so much! Waaay mor ghetto. There's simply more leniency for violence in white clubs than black in Philly.

    This is soooo crazy!!
    I was just in there Saturday Night for my birthday!
    I am going to call the house mom and see what happened.
    I feel bad for all the girls who lost their jobs.
    I really hope it wasn't Jason the DJ who got shot, I love him!

    I'm pretty sure that the C&D order is temporary. Unless something really unusual happened, the place wouldn't get permanently closed just because a patron tried to kill someone there.

    This made me really sad. Wizzards was my first club and I think very highly of many of the people I worked with there, including most of the staff/management. They run a pretty tight security ship over there, too. I guess Sunday night is Sunday night. This was fucked up, and I hope they're open again soon.

    Philly is increasingly a scary place to live.

    ^^ I am going to have to disagree about the security ship. There are no metal detectors and they only pat people down when there is a big fight on tv. My husband carries a gun and has brought it in many times, only being stopped once on a fight night.
    (I found out much later that the first night i danced for him his glock was in his pocket, I can't believe i didn't feel it. I was super pissed when i found that out)

    I do like most of the staff and girls though. I hope they open back up soon!

    Yeah, it's been a few years since I've been there. I just remember the imposing lineup of huge bouncers.

    I just read on stripclublist that they've closed the club for good and put purple orchid up for sale...

    When I was hired there, the manager suggested that I get myself a nice big margarita at the chili's upstairs before my first shift to "relax my nerves." I did it, too.

    You can't trust that sort of thing on StripClubList. People have written that sort of thing about Oasis for years, and it hasn't been true yet.

    Also, about getting the Margarita: I wonder how much cheaper they are at the restaurant.

    I totally used to get a quasadilla explosion salad from chilis on my way down to work!! I'd call when i got in the car and it would be ready when I pulled up!
    There is also a banging cheesesteak place on top that will bring them to the dressing room if you ask nicely!
    I really hope they don't close, its not the most upscale club, but its fun.
    Thats a lot of good girls out of a job!
