The Condor Club was the FIRST ever topless club that opened in the United States. After talking to quite a few bouncers at the clubs for my crime story, I've noticed that the bouncers at strip clubs are usually the friendliest and most eager to talk to me.
I met a bouncer who works at the Condor Club by the name of Ben, and he told me about an interesting incident that happened in 1983 which made headlines:
A bouncer, Jimmy Ferrozzo, was having sexual intercourse with his girlfriend on top of a piano when suddenly the piano lift was accidentally activated and crushed Ferrozzo to his death. His girlfriend survived was found in the morning pinned underneath Ferrozzo.
The club has a specialty drink named after the incident called Sex on the Piano.
Ben told me to come check the club out, he claims it is haunted. Spooky!

I feel like I somewhere heard this story before.... Maybe they stole the incident for a crime show? Either way, that's an amazing story!
ReplyDeleteOooh sounds like an awesome story idea, will the strip club be your Feature story?
ReplyDeleteYeah it's a pretty crazy story! The strip club will be a part of my feature, but it won't revolve around it.
