News Update
It's always good to know what other areas around the country are doing to prevent their communities from being over-run by sexually oriented businesses.
Just as our local officials have chosen not to enforce ordinances that were in place before Gentlemen's Club 10 opened its doors, so too are officials in other areas of the country failing to take a stand for the people.
Much of this comes down to the fact that inevitably, this conflict always results in lawsuits. Gentlemen's Club 10 has already flexed their litigious muscles and little has been done to defend the people in the wake of their lawsuits. I guess I can't blame the leadership of Wilkes-Barre Twp. for being hesitant to foot the bill to battle yet another lawsuit from the club..... but there is help available.
The City Council that is mentioned in this news update has sought the help of the Alliance Defense Fund in their battle to keep their community safe, clean and moral for all residents. I believe that if our local officials sought their help, we might find ourselves making better progress in this effort.
City Council accepts aid to block sex shops.

"Parish Council". The religious flex their muscles as well.
I always hear this is not about religion. But it is always the religious groups trying to close these places.
I know some who are not religious don't care for adult clubs, and they too are welcome to their opinion, but to be honest, many seem to not care about the opinions of those who DO like these clubs.And you seem to be upset when adult clubs file lawsuits. Well, as much as you want your way, based on your religious beliefs (which is fine if that life works for you, Live that way, more power to you)But when groups like this go after a club, they have the right to protect their investment, even if you do not agree with it. The law is the law, despite religions

what? you do not blame w-b township for being hestitant
to battle lawsuits from g-club. in past blogs you critized them for not enforcing ordinances past after the club opened- that includes an email you sent to the citizen's voice critisizing the township--you talk through both sides of your mouth.

In many southern states, what we in PA call "townships" are called "parishes". It is about government, not religion. But of course, those of you who waste your money at strip clubs instead of learning something beyond the world of the sleazy, sordid sex scene wouldn't know this.

And they say the pro clubbers are hostile anon 2:58.
Considering the south may call it a parish instead of a TWP, the official term for Parish is still refers to a church and the clergy.
I have lived in PA my entire life, I have never heard of a TWP referred to a Parish. I do not waste money in a strip club, does that mean I have not learned anything out side of my world?
I never heard people refer to soda as "pop" until I met some from the south. And they have never heard the term Soda either. Do not insult because of local slang.

Well isn't that ironic, 12:46. People in this area have MORE of a right to protect their LONG-established investments---their very homes! Life savings, hard work, and everything done to maintain quiet, decent neighborhoods free from menacing intruders that devalue and demoralize a whole area! The law is the law when it comes to characters like that who come along and not only disturb the peace, but also soak up money for lawsuits when it could have been used for more functional purposes. Just because you people don't want to live a respectable life, doesn't mean the rest of us have to submit to it! But you'll be the first ones crying for help when you become victims of your own atmosphere. Fights start, sure, call the respectable police! It has happened already, hasn't it?!

Education is something in moderate supply but low demand in the Valley. Why? Because, as many comments to this blog show, the Valley is filled with folks look at "ignorance is bliss" as a credo, and not a sad quote. It's too bad that these same people somehow find their way onto municipal political ballots.

to 258 pm you are wrong about that. a a parish is equal to what we call a county, so where are you wasting your money, church bingo?
By

2:58 Ummm, I dont think that counts for all of us who wasted money in a Strip Club in the past. Sad, think if one your family members or friends was seen in one of these places. I think that you would have to grab your foot and place in mouth. I know that you will say that not one of your family members or friends would go, but what if???
By

to 258pm-- you have your facts wrong-- very wrong--
only louisiana has parishes. they are not townships as you claim but
what the other 49 states call "counties"
for example " east baton rouge" parish includes the incorporated towns of
baton rouge, baker, and zachary as well as about 40
non-inc. towns. The parish seat of that parish is Baton Rouge, just as wilkes-barre is the county seat of luzerne county, if you do not believe me, look it up on the internet. It is funny
that you tell others who do not agree with you to get an education, while spouting information that is totally wrong and taught in grade school. typical right winger.

It's a shame. The club has affected the minds of some non-club goers now. They can't even distinguish their own morality anymore, throwing in all kinds of non-related defenses with some not even making any sense.
I didn't compose 2:58 pm, although agree, but the responses make it clearly evident reading skills are much needed.
9:20 am, ever so true!

If any of you bothered to read the article in question, you would have seen that 2:58 is right. It may be Florida, but it's a government parish rather than a religious parish because they mention the "parish sheriff". Would one of you pro-strip club, anti-religion geniuses please tell me what church has a freakin' sheriff?
By
Anonymous, at 6:34 PM
to 634 pm I read the article it says and I quote
"the district attorney will meet with attorneys from the Louisiana Sherrif's association" so if it is a town in Florida as you claim, why would they meet
with another state's sherriffs ?
Further if you do a search for Louisiana, you will find
Tangipahoa is a parish in Louisana with Amite being the parish seat. first word of the article is Amite
second is Tangipahoa Parish.
So 258 is very wrong.
So is Mr family to refer to it as city council.
Counties are called parishes
in Louisiana, why is that difficult to understand?

its funny that you so called educated christians can't do a google search to find out the parish they are talking about is in louisiana- it's not a city but
what we call a county here in pa.

6:17 am/3:47 pm and all who apply, it's pathetic that you sex club lovers are so stagnant in your thinking, so quick and continuously picky about the right or wrong of an unimportant term used and a location, yet you don't have touch with reality about the concrete serious wrong of a strip joint!
That definitely calls for more than an education, IF you know what I mean. Probably not.
Once again the baseless knock argument against Christianity is used due to pro-club zero argument substance.

This educated atheist has been to Louisiana and knows the parish council is a government rather than religious body. Contrary to the assertion that we do "not care about the opinions of those who DO like these clubs", your opinion carries the same weight as mine. The big difference is that I care more about the welfare of the half of civilization you chose to objectify.
By
Anonymous, at 4:00 PM
As far as I can see, the clubbers weight of opinions only lies in self-love and self-gratification verified by ill-gained money and illicit sexual performances. They don't even begin to tip the scale of righteousness to any level. So actually I can't concede to caring about their selfish opinions, which do not express care about anyone or any thing at all.

to 3:47 pm, this definitely educated-to-life Christian doesn't give a hoot to be so petty about a word search for "parish" in LA. I am well set with 4pm's definition. I suggest, however, that you do a search to clarify the words "gentlemen's" and "adult" in reference to strip club businesses. You will discover they are not comparable meanings. Then look up exploitation, degradation, objectify, and so on. You get the drift. That's funny--"I" didn't have to look those words up.

to 546 am funny now that you were proven wrong, it now becomes unimportant.
Actually it is important because the proposed law covers a large geographical area as opposed to a city.
Banning adult clubs in a large area isn't important to you anti-clubbers?
You ridiculed the pro-clubbers for not knowing when you did not know yourself. That is hypocisy.
Now, you make more excuses ( not important) instead of admitting you were wrong.
BTW I do not go to adult clubs, and I am not an atheiist but I suppose you have to reduce yourselves to name calling to make yourselves feel superior. More Christian behavior?
It displays a lot of truths about yourselves you are not willing to admit. very sad.

to 826 pm what proof do you have that elected officials read this? None. Why would they? The controversy about the club has long died down.
The ordinaces have been passed that there will be no more strip clubs. It is over. Their lawyers have advised them against taking any action, against the gclub. do not you think elected offivials have better things to do, such as searching the web etc for grant money, etc?

704 am- once again the township's lawyers have advised the township NOT to do anything about the g club.
so reading anything on this site would be a waste of time for them.
Furthermore, the club hasn't caused any problems since opening.
if you live in the township, you can vote against them-- if not you can keep whining on this website.

111 do yourself a favor==-do your own thinking for yourself. I was the one who introduced "whining" to this board and it has been immediately used thereafter by clubbers and the likes of you.
ok now tell us what inside scoop you have that twp's lawyers gave no further advice after their initial advice
and what are you going to say when the club does cause problems which, btw, have been brewing?
youre on the right track that i am from wbt. i don't care if you live here, just moved here, don't live here and know tons of people from here, you really have no idea about our tenacity!
whining is not what keeps our town one of the rarest safest family oriented towns in the area!

Actively verbalizing against immorality is not whining. It is speaking out to support a dignified quality of life, speaking out against the wild and atrocious habits that some of the uncivilized population imposes upon a civilized society.
What information secures your knowledge in relationship to the "behind the scene" activities of Wilkes-Barre, Twp.?
By

is your verbalizing here the most effective way to close the club or should you be doing something to close it?
