FILMORES: A strip club marquee retrospective

Filmores Hotel, the notorious strip club along Dundas in downtown Toronto, has a new cringe-worthy message for their marquee letting patrons know that they’ll cover in the case that girlfriends or wives call.

IF ANGRY WIVES OR
GIRLFRIENDS CALL OUR
ANSWERING CHARGES ARE:
“HE JUST LEFT” $1
“HE’S NOT HERE” $2
“NEVER HEARD OF HIM” $20

Although thinking too much about any real marriage where a wife calls around to a nudie joint looking for her husband is enough to make you a touch ill, it is worth noting that Filmores has a long history of funny marquee messages.

Here is a roundup of some of the cheekier marquee messages archived online.
