  I know about this info as I'm also a member on that site.

  Is Alan Markovitz the owner of TUSCL? If so, what, if anything, does that mean to regular users? Nothing? Who cares?

  From what I’ve heard about Detroit clubs on this forum, it seems the ordinance may not be being enforced too much, if at all.

  I think that twosheds is misquoting. on his web page, AlanMarkovitz. com, he speaks about his book "Topless Prophet"
  
  "In this moving memoir of Alan Markovitz, who owns several Penthouse Gentlemen’s Clubs and the country’s No. 1 ranked adult entertainment club (The Ultimate Strip Club List (www.tuscl.net), The Flight Club, we are treated to a first-hand account of a Detroit businessman who has helped change and grow an industry while overcoming many challenges, some life-threatening, some business-endangering. He has spent nearly the past three decades reformulating the ultimate fantasy setting for men."

  Alan Markovitz owns my two favorite strip clubs in the Detroit area, The Flight Club and The Penthouse. I don't know Alan personally, but I sometimes see him in his clubs. He never looks happy.
  
  I have read Alan's autobiography. He has a very good opinion of himself. This opinion is not shared by many dancers in his clubs.
  
  Alan was shot in the face outside The Flight Club, and he has had a lot of reconstructive plastic surgery. That may be one reason why his face looks strange.
  
  I don't know if Alan is owner of TUSCL, but I would doubt it. If Alan owned it, I think he would be milking money out of the site in 10 different ways.

  No, Alan Markowitz is not affiliated with TUSCL. Twosheds doesn't know what they are talking about.

  Seems TUSCL is being used as a reference to the rankings, not that he owns it.

  At one time the Flight Club was # 1 on TUSCL. I've always assumed the rest of the Twosheds statement about TUSCL was a mistake.
  The lawsuit against Detroit City Council is still ongoing. There was supposed to be a pretrial conference last month but that was delayed.

  "Seems TUSCL is being used as a reference to the rankings, not that he owns it."
  
  I believe deogol is right. TUSCL is the reference.
  
  "In this moving memoir of Alan Markovitz, who owns several Penthouse Gentlemen’s Clubs and the country’s No. 1 ranked adult entertainment club (The Ultimate Strip Club List (www.tuscl.net), The Flight Club"
  
  I'm not a English major, but this strikes me as a very poorly constructed sentence. At first read, it does sound like he owns TUSCL.

  Sloppy sentence construction is the problem. Read the parenthetical clause as "according to The Ultimate Strip........" and place the parenthetical clause after the Flight Club reference.
