When I talk about Clubs I mean dance clubs – i.e. in the olden days when I went to dance clubs it was in places like Tunnel, Cheetah, Palladium, Two Eyes, Mars,Limelight even Nell’s. Some were stricly hip hop clubs where they would exclusively play hip hop/R&B/Reggae most nights – while other clubs (like the Palladium had “hip hop” nights)
The difference is whether the establishment has something called a Cabaret license which allows its patrons to gather and dance inside – many lounges/bars do not have that license

FWIW credit reports are used in screening people for security clearances. If you have bad credit there is an assumption that you are more susceptible to accepting payment for classified information.
credit history is established through the financial choices you make along the way. But of course you wouldn’t know about that. Broke ass…
East New York – I hope you never have a catastophic illness that was not covered by your insurance company and leave you unable to work.
Troy – Southpaw has ALL sorts of music – it’s not exclusive to ANY genre.
That being said – I’ve been to a few shows there with different crowds and nothing popped off
HOWEVER….. people paying $15 to see LIVE performers is usually a different crowd going to a DANCE club –
