This morning, the National Weather Service issued a dense fog warning for the Greater Washington and Baltimore Areas from 3-11AM. Well in the middle of the night, they decided that it was not necessary for the majority of the area, so they limited is to the area around the bay, east of DC. Fog is fog and from most of the camera's that I've seen, they should have left the original intents intact.

Why did PG liquor board let strip club move to Laurel?

 

I am perplexed that the Prince George's County liquor board would not only see reason to move the Stardust Inn strip club to a place experiencing a development boom, but that the board would allow it to move within the direct vicinity of a church.

The other insulting fact, never mind the political connections between the county and the owners involved, is that the club plans to expand operations to include day-time hours.

 

That the liquor board did not consider the feelings of the church and the community is also insulting. And in a sign of true insensitivity, the board, according to a Washington newspaper, stated as a special condition of the Stardust Inn moving to Laurel that it help the church move to another location.

 

Did the board consider if the church actually wanted to move from its current location? Did the board even let residents in nearby Laurel communities know about the move?

I do not want any strip club to move next door to a church; for anyone to approve such a move is disrespectful. But I especially do not want a strip club or any establishment that has a questionable past to move to Laurel.
