From "Musta123" on Penthouse Club in Detroit

CTQWERTY
"Hello All, today the Penthouse is closed. I have heard that they got busted by the Cops and need to close for one or two days.. this is all I know, I called their main number and nobody answered, not even a voice message ... wow
I knew eventually they would have trouble with the Detroit VICE squad. It was just a matter of time..."

I wonder whether "OneAngryDwarf" got a little too carried away? Afterall he was looking to escape the G20 in Pittsburgh by heading to Detroit...

    If this is true it fits the pattern of turning up the heat on clubs as the election approaches and the city council considers new ordinances restricting contact between customers and dancers.

    I wonder why they got busted by vice? Drugs seem to be more of a problem for SC than high mileage. The guys getting high mileage are not going to call the cops...but the guy who got burned on a drug deal will.

    Also I have read that voting on strip club issue will be coming up so maybe the police are being ordered to investigate more into Detroit strip clubs.

    From what I understand the club was shut down on a technical issue. Within the city limits of Detroit dancers are required to obtain an entertainment license to work at a strip club. What ever department checks on such thing found that there were dancers working at the club without the proper paper work so they shut it down for 24 hours.

    Went to PH yesterday (10/5) for lunch.
    Me (to bouncer): I heard you didn't have to work last Thursday. Heard the place was closed.
    Bouncer: Yeah, a transformer blew.
    Me: Really!! So, you had a power outage here.
    Bouncer: Yes. Half the bar had power and half the bar didn't have power.
    Me (snickering to myself as I was seated): OMG, that's hilarious. New code words for being shut down by LE is "transformer blew".

    It's hard to believe that the City of Detroit is that efficient,
    either to be checking on dancers' permits or following up drug deals.
    Maybe it's time for the regular pose of cracking down for the benefit of the voting public, who, as far as I can tell, doesn't give a fiddler's fugg about what goes on in the clubs. I can only hope that this too shall pass like all the past "crackdowns." In a few months things will be back to normal. This place is too much like a national treasure to be snuffed out by a bunch of bluenoses.
