Minneapolis, MN - City Officials taking another look at strip club chain

This just sounds too good to be true.  First, they say the Denver club chain (VCG) can’t buy a Minneapolis topless club, because the TWO OFFICERS THEY SENT TO TOUR SEVEN OF THE CHAIN’S CLUBS didn’t like what they saw (ORAL SEX CONTESTS, PUBLIC SEX BETWEEN PATRONS AND EMPLOYEES, DRUG SALES IN BATHROOMS).  So they sent more city officials to tour the clubs, and this time they were satisfied.  (wink wink).

El Paso, TX - City Council pushing for a six-foot law

The illustrious city council of El Paso, TX is pushing for a six-foot law in strip clubs.  (The six-foot law is the minimum distance dancers must maintain from customers).

Normally, I’m against a six-foot law in strip clubs, but put yourself in their garters for a second.  If you were a dancer in El Paso, TX, you might appreciate the distance.

Houston, TX - The Strip Club vs the Dead Parrot

Lovely story of a Houston area strip club trying, oh so hard, to be born when clearly the town leaders want so badly to abort it that they’re willing to stoop to loose interpretations of the law.
