Detroit Strip Clubs: Sexy ads should be censored
March 10, 2010 at 10:13 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsThen, last week, driving along Dougall Avenue near the train tracks, between Tecumseh and Eugenie streets, is a billboard for a rock station with a naked woman strategically covered with a guitar. Around the city is a similar ad with two naked men with strategic coconuts covering their body parts.
I understand businesses want their ads noticed but they have to understand there are children seeing these ads. This is not lighthearted humour. It is shock factor advertising to get the city talking, at the expense of our children’s innocence.
I am deeply offended that the advertising standards allow this and have filed a complaint there, too. I am disappointed the city can’t censor this type of advertising, like the strip club on Huron Church Road and their suggestive sign. What a wonderful impression Windsor must give the commuters who have to pass through our city regularly or for the first time.

Now for the record scratch.
“She pulled a gun on me. They took my money. They took my Social Security number. They took my (driver’s) license, and they took my phone,” said the man.
He called 911 from a phone in the room. The suspects initially followed the victim to the motel in their blue Dodge Stratus, and it’s the same vehicle in which they left. They got about $200.

911 transcripts ordered in stripper case
Paul Egan / The Detroit News
Detroit — A federal judge on Monday ordered the city of Detroit to hire a contractor to recover and transcribe 911 tapes from around the time of a rumored stripper party at the mayor’s Manoogian Mansion in the fall of 2002.
U.S. Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen gave the city 14 days to produce the transcripts, sought in connection with a lawsuit brought by the family of slain exotic dancer Tamara “Strawberry” Greene.
“It needs to get done,” Whalen said of producing the long-sought transcripts.
Greene was shot to death in Detroit on April 30, 2003. According to court records, Greene may have been assaulted at the rumored 2002 party by Carlita Kilpatrick, the wife of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Start cleaning up our billboard ads
March 9, 2010 at 1:49 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsOne would think that Windsor has enough problems with extremely high unemployment, numerous strip bars, escort services, murder, street muggings and the list goes on.
Recently, while driving east on Wyandotte Street near the Walker Road intersection, I couldn’t help but notice a large billboard advertising a local radio station. The images on the board were two nude radio personalities with coconuts strategically placed over their private parts.
I have never seen a billboard advertisement so disgusting on a city street anywhere. I’m wondering what kind of message is being conveyed to our children, tourists, future business leaders looking to perhaps invest when they drive by and see trash like this? If we, in Windsor, are serious about regaining long-term prosperity again, let’s start by, at least, cleaning up our billboard advertisements.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Conyers’ sentencing date nears
March 9, 2010 at 1:48 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsU.S. District Judge Avern Cohn is to sentence Conyers on Wednesday after she pleaded guilty in June to bribery conspiracy, a five-year felony.
Conyers admitted to taking at least $6,000 in cash in connection with the $1.2 billion sludge contract the Detroit City Council awarded to Synagro Technologies Inc. in 2007, with Conyers casting the deciding vote.
But in a sentencing memorandum unsealed Monday, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael Bullotta and Mark Chutkow said evidence at the trial of political consultant Sam Riddle, Conyers’ ex-chief of staff, showed her corruption went far beyond the Synagro deal.
Prosecutors estimated Conyers and Riddle extracted about $69,500 from Synagro, a technology company, a strip club consultant, a real estate developer and a Greektown businessman with matters before the City Council or a city pension fund where Conyers sat as a trustee.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Detroit’s desolate middle makes downsizing tough

“The city has gone nuts,” said Bertha Sieg, 69, who has lived on 15th Street for 42 years. “The city needs to start fixing up the neighborhoods and help homeowners who live here and get something done.”
Sieg said she doesn’t care how much the city would offer. She plans on dying in her home.
Lahser-Berg thrives
Closer to the border of Southfield, brick ranches are valued around $70,000. They began springing up in the 1950s in Lahser-Berg.
Two pillars of the neighborhood stand on Burt Road: McKenny, which opened in 1950, and Bethany-Pembroke Chapel. Neighbors organize to fight the sale of drugs at Henry Tuttle Park and problems that spill over from the Penthouse Club topless bar on Eight Mile.

Mike Cox says he’s unable to turn over phone records in Tamara Greene case
March 08, 2010, 6:05PM
Attorney General Mike Cox says he doesn’t know what home phone-service company he used in 2003, and therefore can’t find home phone records related to his investigation of slain stripper Tamara “Strawberry” Greene’s shooting death.
The Detroit News reports that attorney Norman Yatooma wants to review Cox’s phone records from 2003 to see whether they can shed light on Greene’s April 2003 murder. Yatooma represents Greene’s family, who have filed a civil suit alleging that officials blocked an investigation into her death.
Cox investigated whether former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick held a raucous party at the Manoogian Mansion in 2002, at which Greene was rumored to have danced. But Cox and Michigan State Police ruled that the party never happened.

Cox tells court he can’t find his home phone records for stripper lawsuit
Paul Egan / The Detroit News
Detroit — Attorney General Mike Cox can’t turn over his home phone records in connection with a lawsuit brought by the family of a slain exotic dancer because he doesn’t remember and can’t find out what phone company he used in 2003, a federal judge was told today.
Norman Yatooma, the attorney for the family of dancer Tamara “Strawberry” Greene, has requested records of phone calls between Cox and four others from around the time in 2003 when Cox investigated a rumored stripper party at the mayor’s Manoogian Mansion that allegedly occurred in the fall of 2002.
Frank Monticello, an attorney for Cox, told U.S. Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen that Cox has provided records from his office phone and his personal cell phone.
