“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.

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.

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.
