Crews found a cage, signs, letters from the girls who worked there and other reminders of the past when they went in last week to begin the demolition process, said BJ Warden, project supervisor.

The club operated since the 1960s, but has been closed since the death of owner Jimmy Manning in 2019, when the property lost its grandfather status to continue operating.

What’s been an eyesore for years on Veterans Avenue in Biloxi will soon be just a memory as the Lady Horseshoe strip club is demolished this week.

The Wooldridge family, which owns the adjacent Big Play Family Entertainment Center, has purchased the building at 143 Veterans Ave.

“Weather permitting, we are tearing it down tomorrow,” Brandon Wooldridge, operator of Big Play, said on Monday.

For now, the property will be used for extra parking, he said, which is needed on busy weekends at the family attraction and the Big Play go-cart track across the street.

Wooldridge said new rides will open this weekend. A kiddie train, big slide and a mini pirate ship are for younger kids, he said, which is a new area for Big Play. The center also has two mini golf courses, laser tag, bowling lanes, a video arcade and other attractions.

Sad day indeed. It wasn’t much but you could get in at 18 or at least looked like you might be 18. Took a buddy there for his 18th birthday one night. He had never kissed a girl much less done anything else. Got him a lap dance from some 45-50 year old stripper. Rest of us were at the stage while they went to a bench on the back wall. Looked back there at em and she had him sucking on her toes. It’s was fantastically disgusting.

Def Leppard, Warrant, and Whitesnake weren't around in the 60s. What did they dance to?

that place...yeah. That's where we took some kids after the official rush parties ended. If you were 18, you got in. I can smell that picture - I'll remember that nasty smell until the day I die.

If you're using Google Chrome:

On your keyboard hit F12 then F1, then scroll down to the bottom where you see "Debugger" and check "Disable JavaScript". Now refresh the page but keep the Chrome DevTools open.

Just keep that dev panel open and you'll be able to bypass most paywalls.

And if I said that's where my father met my mother back in 1962 when he was in the Air Force at Keesler would you believe me?

Thumbs up equal yes. Thumbs down equals im lying.

Yeah. Even if she wasn’t a dancer. I think some strip clubs were more coed in the free-swinging 60’s. My parents honeymooned in Biloxi and I think they went to a club. But a lot of strip clubs were probably more like Go-Go dancing back then, as opposed to modern clubs where girls will straight up give you rates for services.
