Charlie Cunningham has owned Good Time Charlie's in Soldotna since he was 29. Now he's 77, and says there’s not as much money in the strip club as there used to be.

-Good Time Charlie’s owner Charlie Cunningham in the club, which has been gutted and is scheduled for demolition Sept 1, 2022. If you’ve driven into Soldotna, you’ve likely seen the yellow building right on the side of the Sterling Highway. Good Time Charlie’s has been owned and operated by Charlie Cunningham for almost 50 years. For the last 30, he’s had a unique deal with the state that meant he had to be ready to tear down the building at any time.

“It always amazed me,” he said. “The girls who had been dancing for 20 years, they’d come up here from anywhere in the world. They knew how to hustle, but their hustle was cut and run. And you can’t do that in this small town environment.”Cunningham said there’s not as much money in the strip club as there used to be.

Cunningham said there were 24 dancers on his payroll when he closed the club for good last month on July 29. He said like many gigs on the Kenai Peninsula, stripping has largely been a seasonal job for his employees. “Some owners or management — they are just rude, or don’t interact with you or interact with the club or anything. Charlie and Diane [are] different,” she said. “They interact with the club, they interact with the customers, make sure the girls are fine, make sure we’re fed.”

Everett community mourns loss of beloved mother, local business ownerIrah Sok lost her life last Friday when three men burst into her Everett home and shot her while her 6-year-old son and husband were inside. Very fishy. This one is going to be a Dateline episode. Her photography was incredible. I don't feel the local journalists are doing enough to discover why anyone would have shot this lady in her home. This article is confusing. Was anything taken from the home? Were her husband and son harmed? Do they have any idea about potential motive? For example are they thinking they broke in solely to shoot her? Is there any surveillance footage?
