New Strip Club Rules in Detroit!

The ministers would rather the money be given to them than the strippers.

If the rules go through, you'll start seeing an increase of strippers working at "house parties" around the city......think strip clubs lower property values? Wait until the strip club is operating in the vacant house next door to you.

Let's not forget that these strip clubs are operating next door to many people. These strip clubs are along commercial strips that jut through residential neighborhoods.

I was raised a city block south of 8 Mile, where my parents still reside. Strip clubs and adult book/video stores line the street, one after another. Since I was I was a child, prostitutes, possible pedophiles, and others have used our streets. Moreover, kids play in areas where it is not uncommon to find soiled condoms.

Cheetah's Gentlemen's Club, closest to my family's home, has been the setting of a major blaze [[set by a janitor in 2005 to cover up his theivery), an alleged assault by Eminem, and a highly publicized case of sex slavery [[of an immigrant).

If Detroiters can survive grocery stores and businesses fleeing the community, I doubt that we, neighbors of these strip clubs, would be hard-pressed, or even disappointed, if one or two closed up shop.

A friend lived near a strip club, about ten years ago. She said that once or twice a month, someone would actually pull into her driveway for sex, usually just after the 2:00 AM closing time. I understand the "not in my back yard" sentiment.
Put them in designated zones, away from residential areas. Tolerate NO litter or extracurricular outside activities. Then, let the fools who enjoy this entertainment have there way. The real exploitation victims are the sad and lonely men who pay exorbitantly for this entertainment.

Yep-OK... Might as well thru up ones hands... if it not allowed to flourish in the clubs it will be next door. Got that...

We could do that.

Or we could simply start enforcing the various rules that have been on the books for decades rather than dreaming up a whole new set of rules to have ignored and embark on an expensive court battle to prove that our new round of rules are indeed constitutional and properly enacted.

I agree. The ministers need to stay out of this. However, that club on 8 mile with that stripper almost baring the twins needs to be covered up.

No sale. I think most people prefer their ministers fully clothed.
