Exxxotica Bar
As reported by @fucknomtl on Twitter and Instagram in February 2021, the strip joint known as Bar Exxxotica was definitively lost when the building it occupied was sold to a developer. Our ever-vigilant collaborator Chrys Vilvang managed to track down both sides of the Bar Exxxotica vertical illuminated sign on behalf of the MSP, carrying them home on his shoulders.
We were more than happy to donate one side of the sign to Chez Stella, a local activist organization whose very worthwhile mission is “to improve the quality of life and working conditions for woman-identified sex workers, to educate the greater public on the different ways that sex work happens as well as about our lived experiences as sex workers, so that sex workers might also enjoy and benefit from the same rights to safety and security that are commonplace for other people.” The other side is currently in storage off-site.
