Erie PA News and Events for Monday April 3, 2006
Posted by Dennis on April 3, 2006
The owner of a strip club in Boise Idaho plead guilty to three misdemeanor charges that he violated the Boise anti-nudity law. He tried to get around the law by giving patrons sketch pads and pencils so they could draw the dancers in an attempt to make it ‘art.’ The judge cited the City of Erie anti-nudity ordinance which was upheld by the US Supreme Court in 1999.
The last strip club with erotic dancing by women in Erie was Pap’s AM which later changed it’s name to Kandyland. They tried the ‘art’ angle and also at one time served dinner trying to disguise what was going on as dinner theater.
It’s that fun time of year in Erie with the annual ONE large item collection on garbage night eg Welfare Christmas. Each household can put out ONE item such as an old couch in addition to their regular trash. Not much actually makes it to the landfill because scary people from miles around come and pick through the items.
Sara’s Restaurant at 25 Peninsula Drive opened for the season on Saturday. It’s amazing how busy the place is all the time.
