Atlanta Strip Clubs: Fulton strip-club ruling a blow to local titty bars

Posted on February 20th, 2010 in Atlanta strip clubs

A few years later, Fulton County decided to follow suit, but reasoned that it could make an even stronger case by conducting its own local study showing the link between nude dancing, booze and crime. Problem is, the finished study showed precisely the opposite — namely, that there was less crime immediately around strip clubs because they typically have on-site security. Oops.
Fulton did a second study, which confirmed the findings of the first; then a third study, which county officials tried to bury because they didn’t like those results, either.

The ruling will have no immediate impact because it pertains to a narrow question to come out of the ongoing case, which will go back to the trial court. But it will likely embolden other metro governments — Sandy Springs, John’s Creek, etc. — to try to shut down their existing strip clubs.
