A 45-year-old South Bay institution will be closing down on Christmas Eve for good.
One I learned this morning from my high school alumni message board that the Wild Goose strip (topless) club in Inglewood is closing down to make way for 264 condos. The location of the club is at Aviation Blvd. and Imperial Highway near Los Angeles International Airport.
The club was opened in 1966 and was a hangout for South Bay locals. It was a favorite for free pizza, hot dogs and popcorn (I don't remember the popcorn), besides the girls and beer. Friends from out-of-town and I frequented the Goose whenever they were in town back in the 1980s. Also, when my dad worked at Hughes Aircraft back then and he and his co-workers would go there occasionally for lunch.
One time, a friend was about to fly home to Sacramento from LAX and we stopped in for a while before his flight. A dancer was up on stage (keep in mind this is a topless club) and was adjusting her g-string when, suddenly, it shot off like a rubber band, leaving her red-faced in just her birthday suit.
It had kind of a "Cheers" atmosphere to it (where everone knew everybody, including the dancers).
