Raleigh, N.C. — The state Supreme Court has agreed to hear a zoning case involving a proposed strip club in Raleigh.
"The Runway" has been proposed for a site on Mount Herman Church Road near Raleigh-Durham International Airport, but nearby residents have fought the club for years, saying it would harm the area.
After Raleigh officials granted the club a special permit to operate, opponents sued. The state Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the club, but the Supreme Court on Friday issued an order that it would hear from club opponents.

If they keep in the area next to the porn shops, I believe that is the location where it belongs. This is far enough from homes and restuarants.

I hope the Supreme Court honors the permits issued by Raleigh and allows this business to open - if it fails due to lack of business, so be it. But I doubt it will - most strip clubs, if they are classy, make lots of money and have a very large customer base.
I choose not to attend, but that is my choice. The government should not tell me what I can and cannot do unless it has a serious impact on someone else's rights. Don't see that here.
