Slog - Comments on Some Local News Stories We're Ignoring http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/some_local_news_stories_were_ignoring Apparently no one at Slog gives a shit about the City Council okaying new strip clubs, newly announced plans to revamp Seattle Center, and some issues some company called Boeing is having with some new product line or something....

Or is that not newsworthy? It is posted on the Seattle PI website. But yeah Dan, thank god we have strip clubs.... The Stranger really has sold out haven't they?

I think the idea of making it a big open public park sounds nice. I'd rather spend tax dollars on that than the Sonics.

Based on the PI story it looks like it happened in front of The War Room. Does anyone know what they had going on that night? I have personally been harassed walking by that place when Yo Son was at The War Room.

The Seattle City Council does not have the power to "give" us Strip Clubs. The Constitution takes care of that, thank you very much.

The City Council has been breaking the law for over 20 years now, and "barely" rectified that situation yesterday.

...that said, I believe that this new zoning law will yet prove unconstitutional.

Is the city saying, "This is to make Seattle Center more user friendly for downtowners," but in reality not wanting to say, "We're remodeling Key Arena for the Sonics?" I'm just asking.

Anyone want to help?

Check out clrb.org if you're interested in getting help on that. If that site's down, just look up Craigslist Review Board and I'm sure you'll find a link to the current version. Plenty of guys on there will be interested in someone who's willing to be the public face for that.

Mommy, what's an exotic dancer nude nude nude?
