The Cecil Hotel’s steamy contribution to Vancouver entertainment history will bump and grind to a halt this summer, when the building is demolished to make way for a new condo development. Les Bazso — PNG
When Vancouver’s Cecil Hotel is demolished later this year, a vestige of the strip club’s lively history will survive.
The brass pole used by a cavalcade of exotic dancers in their acts over the years will be auctioned off next week in what the developers of the condo project that will replace the Cecil have dubbed “The Last Dance.”
“We’re hoping [the pole] will bring in [a donation] in the thousands,” Will Lin, president of Rize Alliance Properties, told The Province on Wednesday.

During my reckless youth, I spent some time seeing the peelers at the Cecil. Saw the very delicious Charmane Star there once!
