Detroit Escorts: Brighton Beach won’t be mourned
June 25, 2009 at 9:13 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsFrightened off by its spooky biker clubhouse vibe, many Windsor residents have not ventured into the Beach in years. Soon they won’t be able to, its century-old streets and alleys obliterated by the massive plaza.
Gone will be Water Street, and its former horse corral, Cole and Audrey avenues. Page and Reed streets, Dupont and Linsell avenues will be history, literally, as will be Scotten Road. Parts of Chappus will survive, as will portions of Broadway Street.
For the last decade or so, the streets of Brighton Beach have been a forlorn dumping ground for those shirking their garbage taxes: broken air conditioners, couches, construction waste and tires are dumped there by the tonne.
The morning after Valentine’s Day, 1995, sad prostitute Diane Dobson was found dead in a ditch on Water Street. Her murder remains unsolved.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Whistle-blower suit to go forward as planned
June 25, 2009 at 8:36 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsBut on Wednesday, Potts granted the city’s motion to set aside the judgment, and now the matter will proceed through the normal litigation process. The city was ordered to pay $2,500 in costs.
“As the court has set aside the default judgment, this matter will proceed during the normal course of litigation and will be decided on its merits,” Krystal Crittendon, the city’s corporation counsel, said in a statement.
Crittendon said she also has reassigned the case to a different attorney.
“Additionally, the appropriate disciplinary action will be pursued related to the entry of the default,” Crittendon said.
Chapa, 45, said in an affidavit released Oct. 23 by Yatooma — the attorney representing the family of slain stripper Tamara Greene — that the woman Chapa saw in fall 2002 in a wheelchair was loud and emotional and accompanied by the mayor’s security team.
Detroit Adult Entertainment: Land cites gains in Washington
June 25, 2009 at 2:01 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsThe law includes several provisions necessary to aggressively prosecute sex traffickers in the United States and to strengthen the State Department’s efforts to combat slavery and trafficking worldwide.
Passage of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act was another major victory that would not have been possible without Southern Baptists’ involvement, Land said. The bill, signed into law by President Obama June 22, grants authority to the Food and Drug Administration to regulate the marketing, manufacturing, labeling, distribution and sale of tobacco products.
The bill was a long time coming, Land said, noting the SBC passed its first resolution calling for federal regulation of tobacco in the 1930s. Tobacco kills 400,000 people a year, and the measure will blunt cigarette companies’ attempts to reach the youth market with their deadly products, he said.
“They can’t continue to pimp these cancer sticks to our children,” Land said of the tobacco companies.

Detroit Adult Entertainment: A ribald but serious premise to HBO’s new comedy Hung
June 24, 2009 at 6:37 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsA ribald but serious premise to HBO’s new comedy Hung Working stiff
24 JUN 2009 • by Danny Hooley
Hung
Premieres Sunday, June 28, at 10 p.m.
It’s a meaty premise, that’s for sure. A guy, down on his luck, and with nothing much going for him except his huge penis, decides to capitalize on it by going into business as a prostitute who serves unfulfilled women.
So goes the basic description of HBO’s new summer comedy, Hung, and as the first sentence of this review demonstrates, things can quickly devolve into puerile dick jokes when a story begins with that idea. But hey, this is HBO, not Comedy Central, so expectations are rightfully higher.
Not that Hung doesn’t offer up some good ol’ schlong humor (how could it not?), such as when the main character, debt-ridden high school coach Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane) has to vertically readjust his camera to snap a photo of his little big man for an online ad. Of course, there …
Detroit Adult Entertainment: hbo’s Hung premieres
June 24, 2009 at 6:37 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsIn HBO’s new series Hung, which premieres Sunday 28 at 9pm, Thomas Jane plays Ray Drecker, a guy who’s, well, really hung. What makes the pilot so engaging is that Ray’s endowment is the least interesting thing about him. When his wife leaves him for a schlubby-but-rich dermatologist and his life as a high-school teacher and basketball coach goes from suck to sucktastic, Ray looks for financial support from the one asset he’s got left: a long schlong. Rather than a faux-scandalized, self-titillating take on sex work, the pilot looks at the malaise of a man whose youthful promise has turned into middle-aged stasis.
The problem with the pilot, however, is its apparent attempt to be more than that.
Directed by Alexander Payne (Sideways) and written by Colette Burson and Dmitry Lipkin, Hung begins with shots of a moribund Motor City as Ray’s voice-over laments, basically, the decline of the U.S.A. Hung never fleshes out the connection between America’s doldrums and Ray’s. …

LINCOLN PARK — A man was attacked by a woman after asking if she was a prostitute.
A 41-year-old resident said he was assaulted at about 10 p.m. June 15 outside Pinewood Party Store, 1408 Fort St., by a woman armed with a can opener.
He said he was walking into the store to purchase beer when he asked a woman standing outside if she was working and how much she charges.
The woman swore at him and grabbed his wallet out of his front pocket. As the man tried to get his wallet back, he said, the woman pulled out a white can opener and started stabbing him in the chest.
During the altercation, the man said, he suffered a couple of small puncture marks. He was able to wrestle his wallet away from the woman, but she still managed to grab $20 out of it.

Detroit Escorts: Baptist ministers facing sex charges appear in court
June 24, 2009 at 1:13 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsBy Bob Allen
LIBERTY, MO — Southern Baptist ministers facing molestation charges in three states had recent days in court.
Robert M. Black, 40, pastor of New Home Baptist Church near St. Joseph, Mo., pleaded not guilty June 18 to felony counts of first-degree statutory rape and attempted enticement of a child.
Black was arrested April 8 after allegedly soliciting sex over the Internet with a police officer posing as a 13-year-old girl. He is scheduled to stand trial Jan. 14.
A grand jury in Waco, Texas, indicted William Frank Brown, 45, June 17 on four counts of sexual assault of a child and four counts of indecency with a child.
Brown, who resigned as pastor of First Baptist Church in Bellmead, Texas, just before the investigation became public, stands accused of molesting two children in incidents that began about four years ago in another state.

The City Council approved the sludge deal 5-4 after at least one member switched her vote. A handful of council members have been contacted by the FBI, but none has been charged.

Conyers also faces claims of taking jewelry valued at $40,000 from a jewelry store whose owner wanted the city to ease restrictions that he said would make his business more difficult. Conyers has declined to comment.
Detroit Escorts: Corktown neighbors worry as sheriff seeks bar sale OK
June 23, 2009 at 1:13 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsNext Friday, Evans is scheduled to be in court as he tries to get court approval to sell the troubled bar — once named Porter Street Station — that was shut down by deputies in 2007 on claims it operated as an unlicensed after-hours joint featuring illegal drugs, booze and prostitutes.
Neighbors are also meeting next week to make sure whatever happens next, a nuisance doesn’t return.
Since 2007, a judge has barred Evans from opening, selling or even removing equipment from the bar at 1400 Porter after the property was named in a forfeiture suit filed by Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy. Worthy also sought $3,646 that was seized when law enforcement raided the place Feb. 4, 2007.
