Three questions about San Bernardino

[DainBramaged]

Do people still call it "Berdoo?"

Is that a negative nickname?

What kind of place is it?

 

[imported_hscorpio]

Yes.
No.
Its a huge county land wise. Mostly desert although big bear and lake arrowhead mountain areas are in San Bernardino. The high desert communities (Hesperia, Apple Valley, Victorville) off the 15 are booming with all kinds of new homes being built. People move from LA/OC so they can afford a big house on a large lot of land. Most of them commute through the cajon pass to work in LA/OC. Its hot as hell in the summer and freezing cold in the winter.

It's got a couple of strip clubs. For high price and short songs, but interesting concept "bed" dances, try out the Spearmint Rhino in Rialto (just West of the city of San Bernardino). If you want to really get down and dirty, check out Flesh at 100 W. Hospitality Ln. in the city. Just don't forget to take a bath afterwards.

Cal State - San Bernandino lost to Barton in the Division II Final Four by 1 pt.

That is the extent of my knowledge.

I go there occasionally for soccer tournaments.

It's a junky place, low end edge-of-desert climate.

Lower costs, lower middle class & below.

Close to mountains. On the way to ghey Palm Springs.

Don't know if it's "better" in anything except having "bed" dances. The primo SR club of course is Spearmint Rhino Industry (City of), but the songs are cut even shorter and they actually somewhat try to monitor the VIP rooms.

Flesh is something completely different, along with the two other clubs of "Randy's Evil Empire." Those are Tropical Lei and Hawaii Theater (I think one is in Industry, don't remember where other was).

Spearmint Rhino clubs try to be "gentlemen" clubs (even with a somewhat enforced dress code) and try to separate you from your money by having waitresses pester you more for drinks and cutting the songs ever shorter. "REE" clubs try to separate you from your money by, er, the ladies enticing you. That's why the city of SB has been trying to close down Flesh for a while, but somehow keeps getting blocked in court.
