Detroit Strip Clubs: Cop gives testimony to lawyer for Greene’s family
October 22, 2009 at 6:12 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsYatooma said that Parra gave the same testimony to his office today.
Its more of the horrifying same, Yatooma said. Its memorialized as evidence. What our witnesses are saying, they are saying under oath.
Parra gave the testimony to attorney Mike Stefani on Sept. 3 in a separate lawsuit brought by Officer Ira Todd, who was kicked out of the task force after he claims he established a link between alleged hit man Vincent Smothers and a reputed Kentucky drug dealer who boasted to cops that he had close ties to former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
The Tamara Greene case came up during Parras deposition with Stefani. Greene, nicknamed Strawberry, was a stripper who was shot and killed April 30, 2003, in a west side Detroit drive-by killing. Her murder remains unsolved.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Ministers to protest new strip club
October 22, 2009 at 6:12 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsA group of ministers are planning a peaceful protest in a church across from the soon-to-be-opened Larry Flynts Hustler Club in Lincoln Park.
Pastor Frank Julian of Faith Christian Assembly on West Outer Drive in Melvindale, across from the club, says they plan to counter the bright lights on the strip club with their own light show when it opens Oct. 30.
We cant do it every night like they do, he said. But we want to have our own opening night when they do.
The ministers will also be accepting donations for turkeys that they give out during Thanksgiving.
Were trying to let our good work shine, Julian said. Were saying Larry Flynt is not more powerful than God. It appears like he won. But were not quitting.
The $4.2-million Hustler club is at John A. Papalas Drive and Outer Drive. Its liquor license was recently approved after a federal judge forced Lincoln Park city council members to enforce a previous agreement.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Just like dad, Blackwell lives with controversy

“It’s kind of like a dream. Surreal. It was kind of warm for me to come into a place named after my dad rather than a place that was cold and I didn’t know.”
Highland Park was once known as “the city of trees.” And in the case of the Blackwells, one should remember that the apple never falls far.
Robert Blackwell was a man of large appetites. Weighing nearly 300 pounds, Big Bob served four terms as mayor between the ’60s and ’80s. He preferred sharp ties and sharkskin suits and famously hosted poker parties in the old City Hall while conducting city business in a strip bar called the Tender Trap next door.

Detroit Adult Entertainment: Nolan Finley

But the area as a whole didn’t look despairing at all. The hardship was surprisingly well masked.”
Schiavone can be forgiven for negatively prejudging Detroit. The barrage of dispatches that have appeared in the national media overwhelmingly portray Detroit as a post-apocalyptic setting whose people are desperate to get out. Here’s a sampling of what they’re saying about us:
• “On the adjacent business streets, commercial activity is so palpably absent you’d think a neutron bomb had been detonated.” — Time
• “A city and industry that together played a central role in the rise of the black middle class … is being destroyed.” — New York Times
• “For most ordinary folks with families, children and regular jobs, living with rats, fires, garbage, druggists, prostitutes and weirdos is simply too big a price to pay.” — Forbes
