“The location of a former meat market has re-opened as a strip club and neighbors don’t like it one bit. They’re up in arms over the club which is located on South Robertson, near the 10 Freeway. Jeff Michael was at the club’s opening night.”

A solid report from Fox News, although the reporter was mistaken about one key point: the Club has opened without materially addressing any of the community’s concerns.
December 11th, 2007 — Take Action Now!
If you’ve driven by the club lately, you’ve probably noticed that they recently put up flimsy temporary signs.
On the basis of flimsy temporary permits, today Skin opened its doors to the public.
Again this demonstrates the club’s complete disregard for its neighbors. The club owners have opened without meeting with the community to discuss their concerns and have chosen instead to speak through Roger Jon Diamond, a lawyer who has made a cottage industry of representing strip clubs.
The club’s opening underscores the importance of the Police Permit Review Panel meeting on January 28th. It is your chance to be heard before the final operating permit is approved.
December 11th, 2007 — Public Meeting, Take Action Now!, Your Rights
The Police Permit Review Panel has set January 28 to take public comment before making a decision on the strip club’s final operating permit. The club is now operating on a temporary permit.
It is critical that the community turn out in force for this meeting. The panel examiner needs to see and hear firsthand how many people in the community are outraged that the club is opening. The hearing is our best chance to argue for operating restrictions, infraction penalties–or denial of the permit altogether. Talk to your neighbors, community groups, faith organizations and schools to spread the word.

The No Robertson Strip Club Steering Committee is holding a Public Town Hall meeting next week to discuss our community’s effort against the Strip Club. We’ll be covering the core issues, the work we’ve done to date, and what we need to do moving forward.
Representatives from the Mayor’s office and the offices of Councilmen Wesson and Weiss will be there.
If you are concerned about the idea of having an all-nude (18+) club in your neighborhood–one located near Hamilton High School, in a place guaranteed to make a bad traffic situation worse, run by people we believe to have a history of prostitution arrests at their other clubs–then you need to come to this meeting. We understand the club is scheduled to open before the holidays.
The LAPD has now scheduled the special hearing for January 28th 2008 to let us voice our concerns before they issue a final permit to the club operators. It is unlikely that we can stop the club on zoning arguments. The strongest tool we have is our unified, collective voice. This issue is not going to be resolved in any other way, nor can it be done by proxy. If you have concerns about the Strip Club, then you need to participate. We are relying on your help to get the word out about this as widely as possible. Come to collect facts and materials that will help us spread the word.
If you can’t attend the meeting, please make a donation online. If you can attend the meeting, please bring your checkbook. The opposition is well organized, well represented and well funded. We need to be able to take them on. The Steering Committee has been working hard to gather official support, and lay infrastructure for our fight. Now it’s time for you to get involved and take part in your community.
Come learn more about what is happening on your doorstep.
December 2nd, 2007 — Public Meeting, Take Action Now!, Your Rights, Your Safety
The Public Safety committee of the South Robertson Neighborhood Council (SORONC) is meeting Monday, December 3 at 6:00pm in the Hamilton High cafeteria. In case you’re not familiar with the group, SORONC is our local neighborhood council, officially chartered by the city of LA.
Although the strip club isn’t officially on the agenda, representatives of Los Angeles Department of Transportation, the Office of the Mayor, Council District # 5 and Council District # 10 will be there to discuss the traffic changes on Pico and Olympic. Since the first thing they do at these meetings is open the floor to general comments from the public, this is a great chance to bring up our issues, too.
We urge you to come out and speak. If you do plan to speak, note that you’ll be limited to 2-3 minutes and that they take comments right after roll call. If you’re late, you may not be able to speak.
