Just read in the paper about a Scores strip club trying to open in Philly.   In the article they said strip clubs are not allowed to be within 500 feet of a church.   Never heard that one.

Yeah, there was something on the news about it yesterday and all of the people in the area (northern liberties) are pissed. Well, I'm sure not ALL, but the public whiners are out in full force.

LOL, no....from a ministry about 500 feet from the proposed location and from the head of the Northern LIberties rebuilding project. They are saying they are rebuilding that area to be respectful and basically started from scratch. Building high end, expensive condos and high rises and that putting a strip club in the middle of that area will bring property values down and ruin the reputation they are starting to build there.

Nice. That may be the first boobie bar I will go to in the last ten or so years.

About the church thing, if I had tons of expendable money, I would surround every chruch in the greater Philly area on all sides with a strip clubs, 501 feet away.

Oh, the irony.

Hey, I'm not saying it...lol. I'm repeating what the arguments were on TV.  I went to Scores in NYC before, I have no issue with it.

Heh! Was merely suggesting quite a few people I know would pay more rent to live near a strip club! Maybe this is the fact that I am the only Englishman living in a house full of Aussies/Kiwis.

I would go to church a lot more if there were a strip club inside.

The 500 foot rule is dumb. Someone should find a piece of land and build it 501 ft from a Church.

anybody got the scoop on how Crazyhorse is off of Delaware Ave. This was supposed to be the king of all strip clubs here in philly because of Vegas. Not much hype on it....what up?

I'm 31 and I still haven't been to a strip club.  I doubt I'm missing much.  Someday, maybe.  Meh.
