Public Hearing Notice on proposed strip club in Long Island City

Yuck. I agree with CB2, no more strip clubs in LIC. Totally degrades the character of the neighborhood. There are plenty of strip clubs in the city, go there if you need that.

“Strip clubs are everywhere”? Are you kidding me? No, sorry No. 2, there’s no way you can make these sleazy, degrading places respectable. You can call them “gentlemen’s” clubs, dress them up with velvet ropes and red carpets, and they are still scummy places that bring down the neighborhood.

“Especially considering last year when they sought to landmark a building to keep a strip club from landing on another spot on 21st St.”
This is actually the same address as the proposal last year. wonder if its the same people?

Here, Here #4 & 6. Fight for LIC. Keep that trash outta here!

That site on 21st never would have succeeded. Bad fung shui.

Is this place properly zoned for an adult establishment, if so, why is the CB trying to play dictators, last I checked this is the USA! Not everyone likes strip clubs and thats cool, so don’t go! If you don’t like asian food, should we not let them open up in the “hood”?

I think a strip club is just plain gross. Sorry, it’s not about property values… it’s about the sex trafficking of young women for what is basically prostitution. These are young girls who are forced into sex work for whatever reason – if you think most want to be doing it, think again – so it’s not an innocent business. I know people disagree on this, but that is why I wouldn’t want it in the neighborhood or at all. Support getting rid of it – it is also very close to a high school… it’s just not a healthy element for the neighborhood. Help CB2 fight it.

#14 Do you live in the neighborhood? I do, 4 blocks from this proposed business and believe me I am totally against it. I went to the hearing and all the surrounding business’ are against it too. As a resident of LIC and Queens, I am offended that the first thing people will see as they exit the Queensboro bridge and enter Queens is this establishment, and I am sure that Gypsy Rose is turning in her grave at the thought that a strip club has taken her name. This is the 21st century, why do we still have these obnoxious clubs that demean women and are just a legal form of prostitution. I don’t know of any little girl who says ” I want to be a stripper when I grow up” .
