I live a block over from the cricket and haven’t seen it open for awhile.

Is that drunken cricket still on the wall outside though?

I honestly don’t even pay attention anymore. I blame the paper bags at the GetGo. I’m more focused on making sure the bag doesn’t rip open while I’m walking home.

No. Covid killed it. There's a daycare next door and a massive residential complex across the street just went up. I assume those points did not help either.

Edit: The real estate right now is worth far more than Cricket ever could be. This strip is in an economic wave that can be seen hitting anything along the Centre/Baum corridor until it stops at the "We Fight Cancer" building..

Damn; that's a shame. The Cricket was my first strip club 30+ years ago and, as it happens, the last one I went to (right before Covid.)

Yeah you learnt there in one night the subject of hospitality better than two years at CCAC.

I was just about to post this. It’s the only strip club I’ve ever been in.

Cricket had great mozzarella sticks in 1987.

Cricket has been closed for awhile sadly. No activity happening to the building. In February, there was an account posting on IG “Medusa’s Lair” implying they were taking over the space and hiring dancers but no further posts
