Oral exam and perhaps a 'drilling' please

I realized something the last time I went to the dentist.

My dentist is in the ghetto.

I stopped to look around. There are 2 strip clubs across the street. The dirtiest and nastiest of any in the city. The kind with an hourly rate motel attached and crack whores hanging about. Speaking of crack whores, the "Ho-Jo" is on the corner. Not to long ago, one of said crack whores got high and jumped off the roof to her death. Perhaps that's why there are so many 'ladies of the night' hanging around? Remembering their lost friend? Or stealing her business? Either way, not a corner you want to be around, unless you are looking for an 8 ball or herpes.

The dentist itself has been there for years, thru the demise of this strip of town. It's unfortunate that they don't up and move. Maybe they like the strange smells that come from that Chinese restaurant across the plaza from them. You know, the one that has been shut down twice for serving cat and dog? Maybe I'll stop and grab some lunch there after my appointment one day.

The best is that my dentist is right next door to a "massage parlour and day spa." Funny, this spa is open until 4am! What person really needs a pedicure at 3am? The kicker is that there is a double door and the sign on the second door says "Entry is restricted to anyone 18 and older!" I never knew that getting your hair and nails done were illegal to those under 18. Hmmm, I think something is fishy here (in more ways then one folks). I've only ever seen men come out of this parlour. Interesting. Using my excellent deducing skills I've come to the following conclusion: It's a Rub-n-Tug.

Yup my dentist is across the street from 2 seedy strip clubs, the Ho-Jo crack hangout, a shady chinese restaurant and next door to a Rub-n-Tug.

I think next time, I'm going to go into the "spa" and inquire about their services. Perhaps a little undercover detective work?
