Big win for PA stip clubs

"In a major Victory for free expression, a federal appeals court in Philadelphia has invalidated two PA laws which prohibited nudity in any establishment where alcohol was served.
At issue was whether the state could ban "lewd" activity on liquor permit premises without violating the constitutional guarantee of free expression. In August, a three judge panel of the united states court of appeals for the Third Circuit unanimously held that it could not.
In a sweeping decision vindicating the rights of entertainers and the establishments in which hey perform, the court of appeals struck down the liquor statute and regulation in their entirety. The court held that the laws swept too broadly, prohibiting both erotic and main stream productions that are protected by the first Amendment. Five weeks later, the court declined a request by the state to reconsider its decision.
PA had a long history of aggressively interpreting the laws in question. Clubs throughout the state were subject to the prohibitions which the state had interpreted as banning, among other things, all nudity any place alcohol is served. The broad interpretation helped to seal the fate of the law. In it's opinion, the court of appeals note that state liquor officials had even claimed that a televised image of a bare-breasted woman in a bar would run afoul of the law.
The state has the right to seek a review of the decision by the supreme court. Unless that court agrees to hear the case on appeal, however, cabarets and dancers throughout the state will finally be free from a half-century old law which imposed severe restrictions on their performances."

This is a HUGE win for club owners. And it continues to show that many old laws to restrict adult clubs are in fact, unconstitutional, and one by one are being struck down. I can only see good things in the future for adult clubs, as now, Club10, if they choose to, could purchase a liquor license, and serve alcohol ion the club and the dancers can continue to be fully nude

Our own taste of Sin City?

Today the Mohegan Sun opens. The first Casino in our local area. Their are plans already to expand the casino in the next year with a hotel and more. For years many have had to take the trip to Atlantic City, which meant a long road trip, or a thirty dollar bus ride.
This casino will bring in people from outside the area, adding income to our area, plus all the jobs it offers. Not to mention all the gamblers going to the local Gentlemen's club. Yes, it is always true, a strip club will always benefit from a casino. People form out of the area will go to the club after having some fun at the Mohegan sun.
With the arena, and now the casino, more and more businesses will strive to open in this area. More hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions. All this may mean an increase in the already good customer base for one local adult club. Gentlemen's club 10
Maybe a little promotion at the casino? More to follow.

Local Adult Businsess

It seems some people have not realized just how many adult businesses have been in our area, and just how long they have been here. Most seem fixated on a single adult club. Club10. And those people fixated on it are a certain few crying about it ,and want it to close. So why now? Why Club10? Why have they not spoken out about the others places that have been in our local community for years. Cinema 309 has been in the same location, behind Kmart on route 309 for near 20 years. Not a peep. Nor has there been any issue there. The Adult Playtime Boutique at the bottom of Kidder Street, has been open for well over 10 years. Not a complaint, and once again,. never an issue. Adult World in Larksville has been operating for over 20 years and has become a chain of stores, and continues to grow. With more stores opening in other areas. Seems many people must be shopping there.
Then there are the Strip clubs. The In-between lounge on the Sans Souci Parkway. The Cabaret on Market Street in W-B, The Carousel in West Nanticoke, All of these clubs have been open for years, and yet no rise in crime rates, not decline in property values, not a peep. And no one has ever caused real problem. The comes Gentlemen's Club10. All of the sudden, someone has a problem. The club has not had a single issue, other than the typical rumor from those that appose the club trying to cause problems. All of the sudden people have an issue with a strip club, and raise every issue they can trying to shut them down.
The latest rumor is the lack of funds, and the club not paying it's bills. Both false rumors, I assure you. If the club was not paying bills, would not the utilities be turned off? Would it not be in the news? Would they not be closed? Common sense would tell you that, but those opposing the club do not use common sense, they rely on rumor and hearsay. Even when facts are put before them they refuse to believe it. The live in a place I like to call, the great state of Denial.
Still the only time the police were at this club, was when a rally was held by a local religious group and the police showed up to make sure they did not get out of hand.
