Cops called to kid-friendly venues more than strip club
Cops called to kid-friendly venues more than strip club

Last Updated: Tuesday, Feb 17 2009 11:49 AM

Which venue would you think gets more reports of trouble calls: Déjà Vu Show Bar or Chuck E. Cheese's and John's Incredible Pizza? The strip club, or the family-friendly pizza shops?

Well, the kid's birthday bash spots take the cake. They've each been home to more peace disturbances in the last three years than the club, according to statistics gathered from law enforcement agencies.

And oddly enough, so have Skateland, Fox Theater, Riley's Tavern, Riverwalk and Rabobank Arena.

We asked for statistics to see how often police get called to various kid's venues around town, as well as some other popular non-kid's venues to compare. We also looked at how many annoyances were reported for each.

Among the family entertainment venues, Chuck E. Cheese received the most peace disturbances, with nearly 30 percent of the calls for service being for just that.

Moral of the story, take your kids to strip clubs for their birthday parties :)

2. Hell yes! And if it's a good old Texas titty bar, your kids
just might get to meet a former President or Senator or something.

9. Take a trip to the male versions and let some steam off.
I know a place in Niagra Falls that has something for everyone on two different floors. Top floor was for the ladies and gay dudes and bottom had straight dudes and lesbians. Everyone was getting along.

LMAO! I live in Tennessee.
Do you think we'd have such a thing here?

There is no male nudity allowed in Tennessee!

Besides... I'm not interested. It's kind of boring.

14. According to some female friends of mine sometimes the mildest women act the craziest there.
Edited on Tue Feb-17-09 05:18 PM by YOY
Just goofing off and nothing really bizarre of course. You'd be surprised.

Shame about that in Tennessee. Guess I'll keep my pants on there in public!

You don't read DU much.

16. I'm sure that stress doesn't include all women
As you say, you find nudity boring and I can't believe all women feel that way either.

Also, I do read DU and would love for you to point to any thread where there is 100% agreement on anything?

22. Doesn't include me either.

Plus, I've often looked upon my SO as a sex object so guess I'm a horrible person. :D

17. Not to this woman, but that's just me.
I could care less if my husband goes. I've gone with him. Hell, I've gone without him with other guy friends and my husband doesn't care. But...we've had a very odd marriage-he worked in the music industry as a tour manager for the first two years of our marriage and we rarely saw each other. If I couldn't trust him then, we'd never have married. Why worry about a strip club?:shrug:

15. Had a friend who volunteered as a Little League coach
Even though the park had a cop there every night, he heard language that would have made a longshoreman blush. He quit after the THIRD time his car was vandalized.
