West End residents protest proposed strip club

Around 30 people this afternoon protested a strip club slated for West Carson Street, saying a judge, Pittsburgh City Council, or Mayor Luke Ravenstahl should do whatever it takes to stop it, and someone should investigate the lack of a council hearing on its zoning status.
The club plan, pursued by Elizabeth-based Marquise Investments, was the subject of hearings before the Planning Commission, which recommended against giving it permission to open up next to the Onala Club for recovering addicts.
But council never received paperwork that would have prompted it to hold a hearing, and Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Joseph James ruled that the lack of expert testimony on the club’s health and welfare effects meant he had to grant it approval.
