New Law Could Force Detroit Clubs to Shut Down (or something like that)
ReiDetroit
I've known about this for a few days and was hesitant to share because I was unable to locate the source of the image or the source of the information. However, it is real and it is on the City Counsel agenda for Monday, October 24th. I'm not quite sure if this is just for Detroit City clubs or all of Wayne county, but I presume it is for those within city limits only.
I'm posting here because I know some local Detroit SC fans look here instead of other local SC forums.

I don't know who created this sign, but I would advise people to NOT bring their kids lol. Also, this is a threat to all staff in Detroit clubs and not only dancers.
Also, Detroit vice has been frequenting city limits clubs A LOT lately. Some clubs are visited once every week or two and others three times a month or so. The frequent visits started in early July, I believe. There are new laws some of us dancers were unaware of that vice is enforcing which I posted about on TwoSheds already. Girls need to have their literal asses covered and no gluteal folds are too show (wear wraps, skirts, robes, etc). It is now illegal to be topless in a vip area. Toplessness and butts can be displayed on stage only. The three feet minimum customer to dancer space is also being enforced. Girls at my club were ticketed for sitting next to a customer, though they were not touching. Girls are also getting multiple tickets sometimes. One girl at my club got three tickets during one trip (her butt was showing, her top was off in vip, and she was sitting next to the customer). I also heard (but could not confirm) of 3 girls being arrested for soliciting prostitution to an undercover before that club was raided (happened in late September). Anyway, there's a Detroit update. Thanks for reading TUSCL guys. :)

These local government crack down on strip clubs affects both blue and red areas. Hell, we can't even touch the dancers here nor can they show much skin. And yet the Sun also rises.
Like usual, after the first of the year things get back to normal for the vast majority of people regardless of who enters office.
Side note to OP, I remember hearing something similar about 6-7 months ago while I was at an 8 mile club. Covering their butts while off stage and much more tame dances in the VIP (because enforcement came in and wrote some tickets). I returned maybe a month later and everything was back to normal.
Also, I have to voice my opinion about the pointless tickets given out to girls who are not even doing anything relating to sex... as someone who is going to have to apply to the bar association to even take the exam and then have my application include them searching for any past tickets or police reports, a ticket for soliciting prostitution is not something I need on my record.
I'm going to consult with the lawyer I work for about this via text, and see what other points he finds important to express to the counsel, if they will even hear me out.
Since we work together, have you seen the info about this in the locker room? There was a mass text sent out last night and our day shift manager is organizing for those interested to meet at work and walk over to the courthouse Monday morning. If I don't see you this weekend at work, message me on Facebook if you want the info for Monday (if you want to head over with us). :)
Also, were you there during the last two raids? I don't remember. During the last one, only one girl was ticketed and it was for just BEING in vip. A customer was back there but they were far away apart and she was covered and clothed, so her ticket should not have even been written.
Politicians are possessed or diseased egomaniacs that think they have the right to tell everyone how to live.
For dancers, it is their body and they should be able to dance if they want and for men, we should be able to spend our money on them if we wish. The girls are earning a living!
I have no problem with limiting locations away from schools etc but i resent some politico dictating morality for personal gain.
The real problem is all politicians are hypocrites since they do not believe in what they do they do it to gain power by pandering.
If the people of an area really do not want a strip club it will go out of business due to lack of patronage!
VM my story mirrors your own except the west side. You called it exactly. Detroit has a long way.
As the city center develops, and it is booming, rents will continue to rise and drive out the indigenous trash. Just like Manhattan. In the future people will lament about the good old days (that were horrible).
Detroit's incredible. If you ignore the bad shit. I doubt the strip club mecca will hold on forever guys. It's just a matter of time before we pass prime.
I'm attending that meeting on Monday with managers, staff, and dancers from my club. I'm not sure if other clubs will be making themselves known at the meeting. However, I will report backwith news if there is anything to report on.
Also, so Detroit guys know, all of the clubs with curtains and VIP booths received notices from the city to either close down for business or take down the curtains/walls. This is why curtains are disappearing and VIPs are opening up in most clubs. Some clubs (like mine) were grandfathered into the law. Clubs that opened after these laws were established are the primary targets.
*yell at you
*anybody
*it sucks
Part of me wishes the high end clubs would be left alone. If they make an effort to keep trouble away from their clubs, are considerate to the surrounding neighbors, ect, then why bother them.
As an out of state SC visitor, my SC visits the last 6 months or so have almost strictly been outside of Detroit City Limits - i.e. Flight Club.
I almost felt bad for the council members trying to explain to a bunch of slackjaws that this ordinance wasn't going to shut down all the strip clubs in Detroit.
Basically the city wants the option to be able to ask a judge to shut down a club temporarily if there is a protracted legal battle over permanently shutting down the club.
