Many on this board
Many on this board may remember most of the buildings in this slide show.
I'd say it was a safe bet I visited 100% of them at least once.

And some at the Fayob don't know the difference between the 500 and 400 blocks.

When buying a stripper a glass of wine; it's actually some type of juice.

Strange how the slide show didn't include the "mysterious" fire that engulfed Rick's after all the other buildings were demolished. When was that?....90, 91?

Many of lunch times and $$$ was spent at the Yntema Club too.
You remember the two (2) beer minimum during lunch?

The Rucksack Lounge set the standard. I'm still convinced the Yntema was built to force closure of the Rucksack - and look what the Yntema is today.

Hay Street was an institution all unto itself.

I remember being a rising young Jarhead in infantry training at Camp LeJeune in the fall of 1974. We used to ride the bus to Fayettenam and go to Hay Street on payday weekends. Fayetteville and Hay St were much "nicer" than Jacksonville and Court St. The strippers were topless vs. Bikini topped. Tattoos were legal. Rick's, the Popatop and the Bunny Club were great attractions. Some guys would go with hookers to "Cakie's house" on Davis St. What was there not to like?
There was also a patch/insignia store in the block with Rick's. I bought about 100 original MACV SOG team patches there for $4-5.00 each. I later sold the ones I still had (2007) for about $20,000-$25,000. If anyone can remember the name of that shop, Jason Hardy would like it.
I too recall the strippers at the "Enema Club." I only went then once or twice since I was always in class while at Bragg in the late '70s-mid '80s. Most were cute little Phillipinas, IIRC.

The Stab -n - Jab and the 'exotic' dancing at lunch to go along with a beer or two.

They had strippers at lunch in the Red Beret Club in the old 3rd Brigade area off of Ardennes around that time as well...82-84ish
I first heard about Hay Street sitting in the MEPS Station in Shreveport La, in Nov 81. A guy sitting next to me, head already shaved, waiting to talk to the Career Counselor, would not stop talking about this street in Fayetteville that was better than Mardi Gras...party, party, party! Said his brother was there and loved it! I was already asking for the 82nd, otherwise his tales of the never ending party would have sold me!

Ricks Lounge...
Hay Street was an institution.
In those days there were strippers in a lot of the post clubs. I remember them in the Rucksack and Yntema (the club with the name no one could figure out how to pronounce), but also recall they had strippers in the clubs down at Hurlburt Field. We went there every October for Brave or Bold something or other.

On weekends, we would drive up to Greensboro to enjoy the company of coeds from the area's many colleges/universities. I think one of the clubs was called the Apple Cellar...hell that was 50 years ago!!!
