'Pittsburgh strip clubs'
Even after all the turmoil 2011 brought to sports, what with the NBA and NFL players and owners huddling with lawyers and accountants, more unsettling reports of brains ravaged by hard hits, and college players being given cash, tattoos, access to strip clubs and pretty much anything else you can imagine, the games still mattered.
Until November.
In less than two weeks, allegations of child sex abuse at Penn State and then at Syracuse shook both schools to the core, cost Joe Paterno his job and left us all with the searing question of whether our love for sports has helped corrupt what were once such simple games.
…
Miami is sitting out the bowl season in hopes of sparing itself similar pain from the NCAA, which is investigating allegations a booster gave cash, cars, yacht rides, access to strip clubs, even prostitutes, to 72 athletes over a nine-year span. Twelve Hurricanes have already been punished by the NCAA, with penalties ranging from making restitution to lengthy suspensions.

Pa. nixes move to rebuild burned strip club
The Associated Press The Sentinel – cumberlink.com | Posted: Thursday, November 10, 2011 9:45 am | (0) Comments
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Pittsburgh’s zoning board has rejected a request by a man who wants to reopen a former strip club that was heavily damaged in a 2005 fire.
An attorney for Daniel Smithbower, of Murrysville, tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review he will appeal Wednesday’s decision.
Smithbower has argued that he has a legal right to rebuilt and reopen the club known as Butta Bing, because it formerly operated as a strip club.
But zoning officials ruled Smithbower lost that right because the building didn’t house such a business from 1978 until it burned in 2005. One witness told the city the building was vacant from 1999 until the fire.

Timothy Rogers, 28, and Shane Dockstader, 35, both from upstate New York, were the subject of a citywide manhunt in July when two 11-year-old girls said they tried luring them into a pickup truck in Rankin’s Hawkins Village.
According to investigators, Dockstader was the passenger in the car and asked the girls if they “wanted to play.”
Rogers’ attorney said his client didn’t say anything to the girls, which is why he should have never been charged.
“He’s totally innocent. He did nothing wrong and I don’t think in the commonwealth he should be held criminally liable for the acts of a passenger of a car,” said defense attorney Frank Walker. “He didn’t hear what the passenger was saying. He didn’t know what the passenger was saying. He was just driving.”
Rogers and Dockstader told detectives that they were at a strip club that evening and went to the area to purchase cocaine and the girls simply misunderstood what was said.

Last Appeal To Block Carson Street Strip Club Denied
Pa. Supreme Court Won’t Hear Pittsburgh’s Appeal Against MarquisePOSTED: 3:58 pm EDT September 16, 2011UPDATED: 4:15 pm EDT September 16, 2011
PITTSBURGH — The Pennsylvania Supreme Court won’t hear an appeal by the city of Pittsburgh aimed at overturning a judge’s approval of a new strip club in the West End.
The city has opposed the club owned by Marquise Investments because it would be next door to the Onala Club, which aids drug and alcohol addicts in their recovery.
But attorneys for Marquise convinced Allegheny County Judge Joseph James last year that the proposed site on West Carson Street is one of few available under stringent zoning rules requiring buffer zones to keep adult businesses away from schools and churches.
…
The judge ruled on the zoning issue only after City Council twice failed to hold a public hearing requested by the strip club’s owner.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pennsylvania Supreme Court won’t hear an appeal by the city of Pittsburgh aimed at overturning a county judge’s approval of a new strip club.
The city has opposed the club owned by Marquise Investments because it would be next to another club that caters to people recovering from drug or alcohol addictions.
But attorneys for Marquise convinced Allegheny County Judge Joseph James last year that the proposed site is one of few available under stringent zoning rules requiring buffer zones to keep adult businesses away from schools and churches.
The city first appealed to the Commonwealth Court, which in December upheld the judge’s ruling.
The judge ruled on the zoning issue only after City Council twice failed to hold a public hearing requested by the strip club’s owner.
