"I've worked as a dancer at Old Town Portland strip club Mary's Club since 1997; it's a keystone downtown business whose survival worries me — the state of downtown has put businesses like Mary's on the line, many dancers have left because they can make more money flipping burgers at a food cart, and the houseless community are among its patrons, so its struggles reflect broader systemic problems impacting small businesses and vulnerable people." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
