Flames Rip Through Exotic Dance Club In Detroit

several fire engines were trying to extinguish the flames

Fire engines? I thought fire fighters extinguish flames.

In the 70’s it was called Watts Club Mozambique and it was second only to the legendary Baker’s Keyboard Lounge in drawing jazz talent. I saw Terry Collier there. It has a fine history and I’m sorry to hear it’s degenerated to what it apparently has become, and that it appears it is no more.

That was my reference. Already posted, without the link, and didn’t want to go back and add the link. Thanks!

Authorities say it's too early to determine a cause of the fire.

Considering the type of club, I'd say the presence of so many flamers would be a likely ignition source.

[gr8eman]

haven’t you heard...fire engines are now robotic due to all the firefighters getting mugged and killed in the hood!

[MaxMax]

it’s an exotic dancing, male-type of club here

It sounds like a transvestite club description from somebody who doesn't want
to offend the Freaks. And didn't know how to properly describe Freaks.

[henkster]

So, it's fags dancing in there? Fags dressed as women?

Some like it hot.

[ilovesarah2012]

Sounds gay.

I get the sense this wasn't a woman's club?

Perhaps some Home-Boi felt dissed?

[csvset]

He’s correct. It’s male dancers for females. It was the use of the word “exotic” that , to me, made the description kind of ambiguous.

[ilovesarah2012]

And there is a church across the street. Sounds like a bad neighborhood, too.

[MinstrelBoy]

Too hot pole dance?

[Ken H]

Flaming faggots?

[Patriot Babe]

That place looks dangerous. Only has 1 door, I would never step inside a place without numerous exits incase of fire.

[equaviator]

Looks like Detroit on the outside and with a sign like that it’s got to be a regular churnin’ urn of burnin’ funk on the inside!

[Defiant]

I hope Brandy didn’t catch fire.

Turns out that there was a fatal shooting there this past weekend. It went unreported until yesterday (3/11).
