Appearently a Gentlemen's Strip Club is attempting to locate at U.S. 421 south of I-94 just down the road from Coolspring Elementary school. The Michigan City Area Schools have adoped a resolution to the La Porte County Zoning Board of Appeals to stop it from going in.

OK, I guess I will get some bashing for this one, but why is this such a big deal? I get that it is "in route" to a school, but trust me when I say school kids walk around, by and through much worse then a sign on a pole (no pun intended) promoting a legal club on the way to school each day. Business is Business is Business. If someone is willing to invest in our town, why are we complaining?
Just my thoughts, Bellah |

It is just outside of the City limits. Most importantly, think of the towns in the area that have these type of establishments. When I think of them, my first reaction is I want no more in common with those towns than we already have. It is not the type of image we want to project, and the type of image that City needs to portray. We can do better. |

(sorry about that) : - ) |

A truck stop is loads better than a strip club. “Adult” stores and truck stops kinda go together. Case in point. . . . The Lion’s Den Adult Superstore (built in 2001), across the street from the large truck stop at the Sawyer, MI exit of I-94. If an “adult” store does go through near Michigan City, one is not obligated to patronize it. (Just like patronizing the truck stop is optional). Unfortunately, I can’t see any way that these establishments would do anything but make a bad traffic situation in that area worse than it alreasy is. . . . . |
