Post in So who's right Coleman or Thune on 24 hr health clubs

Apr 20 05:09 UTC

I am guessing that people have very short memories of what we were dealing
with in "health clubs" just a few years ago.  The typical "health club"  that
had no professional staff had a name like... Racquel's Rapp, or the  Playboy
Club or Sussie's Sauna.

These clubs did have staff members that frequently would offer healthful
ways to reduce stress by giving "private workouts" or "healing  massages"
behind
closed doors.

The ordinance was written to stop these kinds of activities from occurring
in our neighborhoods.

So, for those of you who think you don't need the ordinance to protect your
community, I would encourage you to call your council member and ask that your
 neighborhood be allowed to have massage parlors and other nonprofessional
health  clubs, health spa's and sauna's.  I would be pleased to assist you in
drafting the language that would allow the streets in your neighborhood to have
 them without my neighborhood having to put up with that crap again.  One of
the benefits that you will get is other entrepreneurs who will work the
streets  and all of their customers.

But, don't assume for a second that those of us who have had to fight to
protect our neighborhoods from this kind of crap are going to just roll over
because you are to cheep to go to a gym that has staff.

Just My Opinion Not Those Of My Employers Past Present Or Future
