Another Boulderism

Boulder has one strip club. It's right off the tourist-trap Pearl Street Mall
(but you have to enter from the back alley). They were just awarded a liquor
license.
Because the liquor board actually has very narrow criteria for opposing a
license, the club easily got theirs. Liquor board member, Lisa Spaulding stated:
"This community has a very serious problem, I think. We need the
community to come forward and do something about this. But they’re not
here."
The irony of that statement is that the club surveyed the community before had
and had overwhelming support. The community didn't feel the need to come
forward.

News.

Brennen: I wondered about the "Boulder's only downtown strip club" bit. I guess
I misread the "downtown" bit and wondered if The Bus Stop is far enough north to
be considered outside of the City of Boulder.
It's also the northern terminus of several RTD lines (hence 'The Bus Stop') and
right next door to the homeless shelter (so that's where my panhandled dollars
go!).

Actually, Boulder has two strip clubs, unless the Bus Stop (up at the north end of town near the U-Haul place and a couple of my favorite restaurants) has closed recently. This is kind of remarkable; I remember making bets about how long Nitro would last when it opened a while ago.
I wouldn't really recommend either spot, even if I were all that into strip joints generally.

So what's the very serious problem?

- Alcohol

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
