Detroit Strip Clubs: Council votes to let strippers do their thing in Lincoln Park
October 14, 2009 at 7:13 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsThe Lincoln Park City Council on Tuesday night voted 6-0 to transfer a liquor license to the controversial Larry Flynt Hustler Club.
City Councilman Thomas McPartlin was absent.
The vote came after a contentious hearing Tuesday morning in federal court, where U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds said she would fine the city $12,000 a day and hold council members in contempt if the license was not approved.
City Attorney Edward Zelenak said both sides resolved the matter just before noon Tuesday. The $4.2-million strip club is at John A. Papalas and Outer drives.
“I would suspect they are near opening it,” Zelenak said.
Some council members held up the transfer last week.
Club attorneys have said that the city has illegally held up the building’s opening in violation of a consent judgment approved by Edmunds last year.

Lincoln Park strip club gets liquor license
Judge ends fight between Larry Flynt Hustler Club, council
Steve Pardo / The Detroit News
Lincoln Park — The battle between Lincoln Park council members and a controversial strip club is likely finished following a federal judge’s ruling Tuesday and City Council action following that opinion.
Tuesday night, city officials approved a liquor license transfer for the Larry Flynt Hustler Club after U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmund’s ruling, essentially ending the saga, said City Attorney Edward Zelenak.
“The judge told the council to go approve it. The whole case should be over now,” Zelenak said.
Attorneys for the $4.2 million club at John A. Papalas Drive charged four members of the City Council with holding up the club’s opening. The four were ordered to appear Tuesday to explain why they didn’t transfer the liquor license to the club.

Detroit Strip Clubs: LINCOLN PARK: City Council follows judge’s order and approves strip club
October 14, 2009 at 1:25 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsBy Jason Alley
LINCOLN PARK — A contentious fight amongst city officials over a strip club coming to town came to an end tonight when the City Council voted unanimously to approve a liquor license transfer for the club.
Four council members were hauled into federal court earlier today after they voted to postpone taking action on the transfer last week in violation of an earlier court ruling that dictated the council approve the liquor license when it came before them.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds told the four council members — Valerie Brady, Mariano DiSanto, Thomas Murphy and Michael Myers — that they would have faced contempt of court charges had they not approved the matter tonight. The judge also said they could have been fined $12,000 a day for disobeying the consent agreement reached last year.
