Does anyone know if my place was called something else either before or after ? I have been looking for any info / stories about a place called Mothers lounge which changed the name to Aquarius and went topless? Just wondered if they were the same place as My Place? So many memories of places reading the info on this page - I miss those days..

The Aquarius Lounge I remember, used to be a topless/T&A/exotic/gentleman's bar located around 17th Ave and maybe 6th/5th st in the SW of Miami?
Last time I visited that place was late 70s while on leave from the Air Force with other servicemen.
Is that the one?

Carry on.

That was recently discussed in this thread:

It was at 8th & Le Jeune.

Smile Great memories of those days!!

I was a Broward girl - loved Pete & Lenny's, Brother Jim's on Commercial (it was 2 stories), anyplace to dance. I went to The Copa a few times; it was fun.

I had to work a lot so 2 AM to 5 AM sure worked.

My husband grew up in Miami so I'm going to show him this.

(I met him when I went for a disco lesson. I knew his GF at the time (now ex-GF). We still know her.
She was one of the real wild ones!

I also miss the great music of the 70's and 80's.

So, now, we are all older. I know I raised my family and it's all good.

Where do people go today that want to dance and have some fun? (PBC, Broward, Miami/Dade)?

Stratford's! My neighbor across the street growing up (Bob Guido) who owned the Gulf Station on Hollywood Blvd, had a permanent bar stool there I think. I was too young at the time for the bar but do recall their Fried Fish on Fridays!

SIAP cause I'm about 13 years late to this party; but the club you were referring to inside the hotel on 103rd Street in Hialeah was Rick's Bar.

Thanks!
NVM, it was Park Avenue.

SIAP; but what the club along AIA just North of 595 in Ft. Lauderdale. It had 3 different rooms/dance floors? One was Disco, another was Top40/Freestyle and the last one was Country.

Met my wife at Facade on the Intracoastal Mall back in 1988. That was an awesome club. I believe that it is now a Dollar (25) Store.
