4. They probably have shootings every week.

Mob wives, exotic dancers, lots of alcohol, drug paraqphernalia on the floor and lots of guns.
In my city that place would be shut down by the liquor control commission in a month.

9. that part of town has ever been thus...or at least as long as I've lived in New Haven...

You just don't go down there unless you are heading somewhere else and have to take Hamilton St. (it's an exit off of I-91) or, of course, if you are going to the strip club in the first place...I wouldn't take it if I could avoid it and certainly not at night...

7. I'm amazed that patrons aren't frisked before getting in

Even in the very small clubs I worked in no one got in with any weapon and some didn't even allow cellphones. Larger clubs usually had a walk through metal detector since it's faster, but every place that didn't at least got wanded (handheld metal detector) by the door bouncers. Even if you went outside to smoke or use your phone you had to go through it again to get back in.
