I think it will be a great addition to teh area. Silk is a classy-well run business
ReplyDeleteDowntown needs a nice Gentlemen's club it will help out the conventions and overalll business downtown
ReplyDeleteAnything is better than the empty warehouse that's sitting there now!
ReplyDeleteWould any of the proponents of this strip club, including the above posters, want to live next to this place? There are several hundred residential units with a 2 block radius of the proposed location.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it matters whether or not it's a strip club. The most important thing is whether or not it's well run, and whether or not the owners care about being good neighbors. We've had lousy bars of all kinds down here. These guys have a clean track record with their current place - that is likely to impact the rest of the nieghborhood more than anything.
ReplyDeleteI personally get nervous when we tell people they can't open a business somewhere because we have a moral objection. If these guys run a decent place and aren't a nuisance in the neighborhood they have as much right to open up as anybody else does.
ReplyDeleteBring on the "Boobs!"

I'm in the Third Ward just across the bridge and there's no way that this kind of dive would get in there; however, this place is a little too close for comfort and hardly in keeping with the regentrifcation of the neighborhood. Those who just purchased property nearby might see those property values TUMBLE if this place opens up.
ReplyDeleteI understand some of the moral objections raised about this kind of club - not sure I agree but I understand it. Having said that, I don't think my personal morality or anyone else's for that matter should interfere with my ability or someone else's ability to open up a legal business. It's good that we make sure these people are responsible, but holding them hostage to our personal morality, whatever that may be, goes to far.
ReplyDeleteWell, I for one, am happy to see yet another empty building in Milwaukee just sit there. I mean, who wants new jobs, new tax base and the possibility for economic growth right now?
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, as a business owner I don't expect everyone to come into my office. I don't even expect everyone to like the type of business I run (I'm an attorney). But what I don't want is to live in a community where somebody else, no matter how well-intentioned they believe themselves to be, tells me that I can't run my legal business at a location where I stand to be profitable.
What is even more concerning to me is that people are not willing to have an open mind. If you read the studies and you talk to folks who have been neighbors of bars, nightclubs, or places like Silk that are well-run, you find that these places are good neighbors who don't tolerate crime or drug use or prostitution at their locations and they go above and beyond in keeping their properties clean.
I think the poster who is worried about living close by to Satin, must be a ugly woman and doesn't want any additional hot bodies coming into the neighborhood, it is an insecurity issue!
