g invoke geography section here -->Amsterdam (help·info) (IPA: [ɑmstərˡdɑm]) is the capital of the Netherlands. Its name is derived from "Amstel dam",[6] pointing to the city's origin: a dam on the river Amstel. The city is known for its historic port, the Rijksmuseum, its red-light district (de Wallen), its liberal coffeeshops, and its many canals which have led to Amsterdam being called the "Venice of the North".[7][8] During the Dutch Golden Age, Amsterdam was one of the most important ports in the world, with innovative developments in trade, and became the leading centre for finance and diamonds.[9][10]
The city, founded in the late 12th century as a small fishing village, has grown to become the largest city in the Netherlands with a population of 743,104 inhabitants, containing at least 172 nationalities.[11][12]
Amsterdam and its surrounding metropolitan area have a population of 1 million to about 1.5 million people, depending on definition, and is part of the Randstad conurbation, which has a population of 6,659,300.<-- end geography section

Wait I get it.....

Humanity is changing. Men are no longer interested in no strings, no bullshit sex, and they just want to buy a nice handbag instead.


:blink:

Nevermind; that was just a nightmare I was having.

Yeah, that'll impact tourism for sure. We're not talking 50% or anything like that, but it will impact enough that the town will feel it.

I read an article in ABC a couple or three years back talking about how no one would admit it but closing the Gold Club directly cost Atlanta a dozen or so conferences and conventions.

Oh, I think you're wrong about that.
I think it will impact tourism by MORE than 50%.
We can buy marijuana in California, and Europeans can get it elsewhere as well.
I'm surprised that as a person in the adult business, you don't see that this is EXACTLY what men go to Amsterdam for.
