St Louis Strip Clubs: Arson Suspected After East St. Louis "Skinhead Nazi Strip Club" Burnt Down …
Arson Suspected After East St. Louis “Skinhead Nazi Strip Club” Burnt Down Last Night

The weird saga of the City Nights club in East Boogie just got a little weirder. And a lot hotter. Because it burned down last night. That’s why we say, “hotter.”
Only a few months after a black man was murdered in this apparently all-white dive, the building went down in flames at 12:20 a.m. Wednesday, and now police are suspecting arson.
Everybody’s jumped on this one, from the TV networks (KMOV, KTVI and KSDK) to the Post-Dispatch and the Belleville News Democrat. Here’s a little context from Keegan Hamilton’s Dec. 7 Daily RFT post on City Nights:
Of all the places to open a nightclub that advertises “Hot Girls, Cold Beer” and [reportedly] only allows white people to enter, East St. Louis, Illinois has to be at the bottom of the list of likely locations.
