I live in the neighboring borough of White Oak and understand how important it is that we all watch out for our neighboring communities, what affects one affects all. I applaud the mayor's attempts to restrict (in order to decrease future possibilities) the area in which the clubs can be. I do have a suggestion for further restriction.

Quote from the article: "Since we are unable to prevent these types of establishments from coming into town, then I think it is extremely important that we regulate where and how they operate," Cherepko said yesterday. "We want to make sure that we curb the adverse negative effects that come from these types of establishments, and deter them from coming into our city."

I think that the most deterrent thing that the city can possibly do is to refuse alcohol permits to adult entertainment establishments. "Entertainment" does not require alcohol! Movie theaters for example serve soft drinks, popcorn, candies, maybe nachos.. I think if the adult entertainment clubs were restricted to similar 'refreshments' then a LOT less people would come.
