Atlanta Strip Clubs: Cities try to resist billboards

Posted on June 20th, 2011 in Atlanta strip clubs

The latest court ruling goes back to 2003 and involves 50 to 70 billboard applications; the two sides still can’t agree on how many are at stake. But north Fulton residents fear the recent ruling will change the character of their carefully coiffed communities. Others worry about the next generation of billboards coming, the new electronic boards, akin to monster TVs on poles that change images every few seconds.
“I think it’ll be a drastic change for these communities to keep an environmentally friendly atmosphere; we feel really done in,” said Sandy Springs resident Joan Brown, a self-described “little grandmother” and Garden Club of Georgia activist who has fought billboard companies for years. “They are very arrogant and have the money to spend.”
Adam Webb, a lawyer who earns a good living helping put billboards where they are often unwanted, smiles at such statements.
“Nothing gets people stirred up like adult stores, strip clubs and billboards; they’re one, two, three,” said Webb, sitting in his cluttered office filled with piles of documents from the dozens of lawsuits he has filed across the country.
