lame Barnett, really lame

Popup Pete Holmes scores a run, but the game ain't over yet.

Maybe they should have stopped trying to game the system and opened up next to the Sunny Jim factory location?

So a bar full of degenerates (acros the street) is okay, but a strip club will destroy the community moral fiber.

Sure.

PS...I meant the "degenerate" thing in the best possible way.

Lame. I'll have you know that Jiggles is bringing extra money into my favorite bar, Dante's. The ladies often stop by before their late afternoon shift and grab lunch. Way to help out the local economy, prudes.

How about this for a next step: If you don't like the law, work to get it changed, rather than just trying to pretend it doesn't exist.

@5 you just say that cause it's not a Stranger hangout.

@7 for the obvious win.

The sight of children offends me. Not only should they be kept behind closed doors, but they should be prohibited from congregating anywhere within 800 feet of an adult establishment. Because god forbid, a stripper might be exposed to one of them and end up psychologically damaged as a result.

@7 Often the best way to change laws is by challenging their validity in court, which is exactly what this guy has been doing. Perhaps Mr. Davis was expecting this and intends to continue litigation as this post suggests.

On the other hand, it seems like a "simple" relocation would faster and possibly cheaper.

I doubt Jiggles has "40 employees." The dancers are contractors who likely pay for stage time and shifts. Likely they will be able to do the same thing at the other multitude of strip joints around. I think this whole situation is pretty stupid, but hey, Jiggles put up a good fight and lost. Not a huge loss to the community or property rights as far as I'm concerned.

@11 What?
mul·ti·tude (mlt-td, -tyd)
n.
1. The condition or quality of being numerous.
2. A very great number.
3. The masses; the populace: the concerns of the multitude.

I'm sure the frats are despondent over this.

Will in Seattle on March 11, 2011 at 12:40 PM

Whatever, just move Jiggles to a spot that doesn't violate city code.

seandr on March 11, 2011 at 12:59 PM

If the city doesn't like Jiggles where it is, then it can pay for them to move.

Rillion on March 11, 2011 at 1:00 PM

@15: Yes, I'm sure that's just how citizens want their tax dollars spent.

bigyaz on March 11, 2011 at 1:01 PM

Mr.X@17 (and in passing bigyaz@7): the article asserts that Jiggles opened before the restrictions were put in place. Do you have evidence to the contrary?

Doctor Memory on March 11, 2011 at 1:18 PM

This dumbass opened a strip club directly across the street from an elementary school knowing full well what the city law prohibits such a businessto operate in such close proximity. I have no sympathy for someone that stupid.

Mina on March 11, 2011 at 2:20 PM

So, nothing of value was lost. Cool!

suddenlyorcas on March 11, 2011 at 2:29 PM

Mr. X--

Comedy club or strip club, I really don't see why it matters. No kids are allowed in either one, presumably.

Rillion on March 11, 2011 at 4:15 PM

@12 It is my belief that there is a great number of "gentleman's clubs" in the Seattle area. Displaced contract workers will likely be able to enter into a similar agreement with one of these establishments. Hope that clears up any confusion.

benjammin509 on March 11, 2011 at 5:30 PM

Man, I don't get it. You guys are siding with the city? I guess I'm just used to Portland, where we don't have these silly rules.
