...Ronnie Bell and Her Twin Liberty Bells, who work the Villanova Show Bar, and 6-ft. 6-in. Kitty, a few doors down at Club Troc, have trouble piling up bar tabs. Some club owners complain that today's movies, which are consistently more erotic than any cabaret act, are keeping customers away. While the Block has the reputation of being one of the safest places in town to walk after dark-the cops give it very special attention-incidents of muggings and robbery are no longer uncommon.
