Not a strip joint, but there used to be a bar in Houston called _Whiskey Dick’s_! Funny. ---

> [@BiblioCat](#): > > They have been vague about it’s location. They live in Camden County, but in “Stole Beer From A Golfer,” Randy took a bus to Hagerstown to get the dog back. Hagerstown is in Maryland, although there’s no Camden County. > There are palm trees around the pool at the motel, but I figured that’s just because they’re filmimg in LA. The creator of the series went to Frostburg State University, which is in western Maryland. I went to there as well at the same basic time, he graduated a couple of years before me. They just had a write up on him in our alumni paper. I’m sure that’s why there are some Maryland type things in the show. ---
