Jug-Shaped Building

The jug shaped building in Portland has been painted red.

The Pirates Cove - Jug-shaped Building

Stopped by the Sandy Jug on 7/20/2005. Now known as the Pirate's Cove, and it is a full-time strip club. Very small inside, barely enough room for one stage and a bar. Not the best strippers in town, BY FAR. Outside of building is now all red. Pirate theme inside. Very interesting!
