As part of a federal plea bargain with associates of strip-club vet Frank Colacurcio Sr., his Talents West company and its three remaining clubs (Rick’s in Lake City, Honey’s Everett, and Foxy’s Tacoma) have closed.

The Everett building will be razed. The other two, plus the previously-closed Sugar’s in Shoreline, become U.S. Government property, to be auctioned off.

Think of this as another opportunity. Let’s get ’em reopened under new management, bringing more class to the shows and more respect toward the performers.
