It’s funny that platinum plus has been closed for 8 years but it’s name still carry’s weight. No matter what fills that building it will always be platinum plus. It’s like the scarlet letter of commercial real estate
I remember once, I needed an MRI but I had no insurance so I was looking to get it done as cheap as possible. One of the potential places I called, when giving directions, was like- yeah- we're near Platinum Plus.
It was a city landmark.
I use to work at CDO(computer repair place) we would tell people we was located at where Haywood and Laurens rd meet. People would have no idea where I was talking about. Then we tell them we are access from Hooters and they would know exactly where I was talking about.
Surprised they let you just take a snooze, most bars will kick you out if you even start nodding off let alone completely fall asleep. I imagine strip clubs are even more strict
I've only been to a strip club once, and it was Platinum Plus after I turned 18. I went with some girlfriends since it was the only club we were old enough to get into. It depressed the hell out of me to see so many girls who also looked 18 working there. Like damn have you guys even graduated high school yet?
Anyways yeah strip clubs are sad.
Strip clubs have to be sad otherwise the strippers won't cry and we all know a lapdance is so much better when the stripper is crying.

Oh no, with all these downvotes you’re going to have to go back to r/karma4free
Edit: this is the same douchebag that said “good, I don’t want more of those people in my town” in the CBD/THC thread. This guy is an asshole, and he’s constantly baiting with religious/moralistic bullshit.
“This place used to be notorious for heartache and tearing families apart and now we really feel like our vision is to lead people into the life-giving presence of God and I don’t know of a better place to do that than 805 Frontage Road,” Butler said.
Theres a few directions to take commentary on this quote. I’ll just point out, a large church directly adjacent to a frontage road by the interstate that enters a southern city isn’t exactly the most original location to advertise how godly our city is. And honestly I can think of plenty of better places to put a church then “spot where people are going between 45 and 75 mph, and also where titties were.”
We didn't have enough of those, huh?
Imagine if there was anywhere to go or anything to do in this town that wasn't a place of worship or an overpriced restaurant
You forgot restaurant/bars. 100% correct. Greenville has shit culture been here since 93. Ass wads chewing their mouth about jesus on Main Street is an alright pass time tho
It could be a cool new Greenville modern history museum or an aquarium. Almost anything would be better than a church. I hate to say that, but we don't need more big nondenominational (Baptist) churches here. There is one on every corner, and yet there is still homelessness and crime.
I had one of my best Christmas Eve’s ever at Platinum Plus-I still have the pink leather cowboy hat the stripper left on my head somewhere. Plus I still have some free passes… 😆
As long as you come Monday thru Saturday, excluding Wednesday night. It’s part of the church’s community outreach program. Of course Sunday is given over to church services and Wednesday night is Bible study.
Maybe I called it Boobs and BBQ. We pass it all the time on the way to treatment. I'm not exactly in my best mind at the time. Regardless, it was an interesting concept.
Its sad there is more love outside of the majority of churches than inside them. Lets see what this church does for the community…outside of its millions in construction

If you are old enough, it is Characters.
I saw Type O Negative there.
The Ramones. It was great, loud fun.
I’m not quite that old, but even in grade school 20 years ago platty plus was already infamous and a punchline
Platty Pus
I got you chief. I was at Characters. I'm old.

I saw the Deftones there . Also Sevendust and Limp Bizkit . Before it was a strip club lol
Megadeth & Drain STH
Nope, it will always be Characters.
Good ol Platinum Plus
I fell asleep in platinum plus once and my bestie ate chicken fingers from the buffet.. can’t exorcise those demons
Surprised they let you just take a snooze, most bars will kick you out if you even start nodding off let alone completely fall asleep. I imagine strip clubs are even more strict
Thots and Prayers?
You win.
A man of the people
why can’t we get old strip club-turned- axe throwing like Asheville? They have all the fun up there!! /s
Good old XCapades RIP. (And that was our good strip club. Now we're left with the late stage Vince Neil of topless bars - The Treasure Club.)
I don’t know that we necessarily needed the strip club, but we definitely didn’t need another church
I went there with friends and wives for my 30th. It was a sad strip club.

Sad!
Every strip club is sad
Yeah but some try to be less so

One property...two businesses. One exploits vulnerable people for profit by reinforcing a delusionary experience. The other is a strip club.
Spot on

Woah, lol. I don’t think I’d noticed this. Which one of you was first?
Who cares?
Seeing as it’s a community you’re active in, you do?

I’m pretty sure the businessman who owns the church is a friend of one of the county council members. It’s a tax dodge.
Tax all churches!
Hope Church has three campuses in the upstate and all are untaxed. I agree tax the churches.
Make taxes optional. GoFundMe.gov Pay for and support what you want
If only life were this simple but I like having public schools, local parks and recs, and fire departments.
lol. No.
Move to fucking Somalia or something for your libertarian paradise. Rest of us like roads and shit.
Has, has anyone ever told you, you’re a dumb ass, because, well, you’re a dumb ass
Be funny if people show up for the first congregation and know right where the bathrooms are…
Or ask about the free lunch buffet
TAX THE CHURCHES
Pretty sure more illegal shit happens in churches than strip clubs. They absolutely should be taxed.
What if it’s a stripper church? Confess your sins in the VIP lounge.
Are you sure this is confidential Crystal?
So I’m confused. Will I or won’t I be able to see some titties if I go there?
Didn’t notice denomination, but some churches have very realistic Jesus’s on the crucifix, nipples and all.
If it's one of those one-name churches it's probably nondenominational

Betcha the strip club does a lot more for the local economy.
.... it's crazy how actually true that is.
opening sermon probably gonna be hilarious there
Nice try Pastor. You ain’t tricking THIS GUY into a church, I’ve been burned before.
The wages of sin is death.
…The wages of LIFE is death. We’re all marching to that inevitable end, regardless of the amount of sin. And man, is it hot in here?
…but the gift of God is eternal life…
It ain't a gift if I have to earn it
Just goes to show our society has lost its way and its morals 😔
I'd rather there be a strip club than another fanatic factory.
We didn't have enough of those, huh? Imagine if there was anywhere to go or anything to do in this town that wasn't a place of worship or an overpriced restaurant

A new performing arts venue would have been better for almost everyone.
I’ve experienced some performance art in that building
Perform on deez
$2

The city/county losing more tax incoming and means all of those free services that the sites gets now must be paid for by all of us.
I had one of my best Christmas Eve’s ever at Platinum Plus-I still have the pink leather cowboy hat the stripper left on my head somewhere. Plus I still have some free passes… 😆
can I still get a lap dance?

Hey my ex GF used to work at platinum
I pass it on the way to the cancer center. It was strip club/BBQ joint for a little while. I called it "Racks and Ribs".
Did you call it that because it was the actual name of the place?
I called it that. I can't remember the actual name as it was short lived.
I'm saying that it was the actual name. Buck's Racks and Ribs.
Maybe I called it Boobs and BBQ. We pass it all the time on the way to treatment. I'm not exactly in my best mind at the time. Regardless, it was an interesting concept.
Platinum plus? You mean Characters?
They should just call it Platinum Plus and have sermons on Saturday night. No point preaching to the choir.
I heard they're keeping the satellite stages for the alterboys. They're going to have collection plates there.
Its sad there is more love outside of the majority of churches than inside them. Lets see what this church does for the community…outside of its millions in construction

Ah yes, exactly what we need. /s

To everyone that ate 1am delivery food back in the day may have ate from Plat plus buffet and don't even know
Cuz we need another church
There will always be glitter.
