Coronavirus now shutting down another set of Atlanta icons: Strip clubs
www.ajc.com
Multiple strip clubs in metro Atlanta announced Monday they are closing over fear of spreading COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
Magic City, which opened downtown in 1985, wrote in a social media post it was closing “until further notice.” For those who have a hankering for the food, the club said on Instagram that the kitchen is staying open with adjusted hours — but there will be no dining in.
The Cheetah, also in downtown Atlanta, wrote on Instagram it would close immediately.
Pink Pony in Brookhaven said on Instagram it would shut down until March 30 and directed people to the website of the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC says communities can reduce the spread of the virus if people practice social distancing by staying six feet apart.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Sunday banned gatherings of 250 people or more. There are reports that the mayor was thinking about reducing that limit to 50.
Atlanta's strip clubs aren’t known for their small crowds or distance between people.
The clubs are known as a front door to Atlanta for conventioneers, locals and musicians to preview future chart-topping hits and where our winners, like Atlanta United with the MLS Cup in 2018, go to party.
Allure Gentleman’s Club on Cheshire Bridge Road and Peaches of Atlanta on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard both posted Monday night on Instagram saying they were open for business.
