Detroit Strip Clubs: Senior citizen arrested in Detroit for running million dollar marijuana …
April 30, 2011 at 1:48 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsThe stings in Wayne County add to an array of recent drug enforcement by officials in Metro Detroit.
Thursday Federal authorities say baggage handlers working for Delta Air Lines conspired to smuggle drugs to Detroit from airports in Houston and Jamaica.
Ten of the 12 people charged were former or current Delta baggage handlers, according to Brian Moskowitz, head of investigations in Michigan for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
When Northwest Airlines flight 2321 landed in Detroit, authorities seized five suitcases with 284 pounds of marijuana and 35 pounds of cocaine, the agent said. Delta is Northwest’s parent company.
And earlier this month, local law enforcement with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration raided a number of Metro Detroit homes and businesses, including two medical marijuana dispensaries, a strip club, a restaurant and the home of prominent businessman Romel Casab, who also owns the long-shuttered Packard Plant.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Good seats available
April 29, 2011 at 8:48 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsThe Indians have tried to respond. They’ve slashed seat prices in the bleachers from $20 to $10 and in the upper-deck seats behind home plate from $16 to $8. The decline has left the Indians with a gorgeous stadium and 130 luxury suites and not that many people to fill them.
“The deterioration that has taken place is shocking,” says former Indians pitcher Brian Anderson, a Cleveland-area native. “I love it there. But if you’re a kid and go to college, unless you’re in the medical field, why are you going to stick around?
“Look at what happened to The Flats. That was the place you wanted to go to have a good time. Now it’s a place you go if you want to get shot.”
One bar was open Tuesday night after the Indians’ game. The lone parking lot with activity was Christie’s Cabaret, a strip club.

Detroit business leaders scoff at Geoffrey Fieger idea for legal pot
Attorney and occasional politician Geoffrey Fieger’s idea of turning Detroit into a Midwest Amsterdam, by legalizing prostitution and marijuana, doesn’t have a lot of fans among Michigan power brokers.
“I hope no one is taking that seriously,” said Michael Finney, CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., at a recent “Pancakes and Politics” breakfast in Detroit.
The idea prompted head-shaking and quiet guffaws from others on a panel of experts debating revitalization efforts, which included Quicken Loans Chairman Dan Gilbert; Detroit Economic Growth Corp. CEO George Jackson Jr.; Detroit Regional Chamber President and CEO Sandy Baruah; and Hudson-Webber Foundation President and CEO David Egner.

Epstein allegedly directed at least 17 seniors to liquidate their legitimate holdings, which he promised to invest conservatively on their behalf. But authorities say he simply deposited their checks — totaling around $7 million — in his personal bank accounts.
Court records indicate he used some of those funds to cover gambling losses, pay “interest” to other investors and bankroll several exotic dancers.
