Subject: Bogus “Gentleman’s Club” press release

The “press release” in the April 30 chatlist about a “gentlemen’s club” opening in Chatham County if liquor-by-the-drink passes is bogus. First, there is no Tony’s Cabaret listed in Lodi, New Jersey, where the establishment is supposedly based. Second, the contact person listed is the name of a character in the Sopranos TV show. Third, the number on the press
release takes you to a sex chat line, not a press contact. Fourth, much of the language is drawn word for word from a press release issued in January about a “gentlemen’s club” to open in New York.

This is just a sophomoric scare tactic from liquor-by-the-drink foes.

The fact is that liquor-by-the-drink will bring more high quality establishments to Chatham County, and many of them will be locally owned because it will be financially possible for locals, who might not have the deep pockets of a national chain, to make a profit. We can weed out the trash, such as any “gentlemen’s club,” through the zoning and permiting processes.
