Club Chit Chat put on notice

Ohio
The owner of a strip club in the Clinton-Fillmore neighborhood has been put on notice by city officials that he must do more to discourage "criminality" around his business.
Club Chit Chat has come under intense criticism following a rash of crimes that have occurred outside the club at 1048 Clinton St., including a deadly shooting earlier this month.
Common Council President David A. Franczyk, who represents the Fillmore neighborhood where the club is located, said about 50 residents, city officials and representatives from the State Liquor Authority attended a meeting Thursday night. Franczyk claimed there were some lively moments after a club security guard allegedly became "belligerent" with neighbors as they complained about persistent problems.
Franczyk said he was pleased that the chief of the Ferry-Fillmore Police District attended the meeting and made it clear that she expects the club to do more to curb problems.
"Marcia Scott said that there's something wrong. There's some kind of environment in that club that is attracting this kind of criminality," Franczyk said today.
Meanwhile, the club issued a two-page letter insisting that it has already been enforcing a number of restrictions, including a requirement that all patrons must be at least 25 years of age.
In the letter, the club promised to have at least two security guards on staff each night and to install additional outdoor security cameras. The club also will not accept limousine busloads of patrons, nor will it cater to parties, including stag parties.

Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. Just another attempt to impose restriction any way they can. Any port in a storm.
