Once upon a time in Mina Nevada was a salon named Francine’s Lucky Strike.
It was a gentleman’s place and I knew a very nice guy who lived next door to it. He was doing the maintenance work for this bar. And the owner, I believe it was a woman than would ask this gentleman how he wishes to get paid.
He would ask her, what does she mean how?
She would answer: “In cash or in services?” He told me that he would giggle, but he always took cash.
This gentleman is not alive anymore, but I was fortunate to be able to meet him and listen to his interesting stories. I really really miss him!
I found this interesting material from 1976 and it is the guide to Nevadas gentlemen’s places. There is also Mina Nevada own Lucky Strike bar.
Yes, this is also part of Mina Nevada towns history. Mina Nevada does not have any gentlemen’s place currently in town anymore. But like a true Wild West town, it did before!
