Earlier this summer a rumor of a new entertainment business coming to Athens caused quite a stir in the the community This new entertainment would be a strip club brought up by a company known as Three Wide Entertainment. The purposed club is located on Stimson avenue in a building now selling scooter and cars. According to Athens News the business proposal was accepted by Athens county common pleas judge J Alan Goldberry after the proposal was denied by Athens county board of zoning appeals denied it. The club will not have a liqueur licence and will not be serving alcoholic beverages however the club will allow their customers to bring their own alcoholic beverages into the club. Many of the towns people are very concerned with this new proposal.
In my opinion on this new business coming to Athens has its perks however it does present issues concerning the nearby students and business's. The club could bring some much needed revenue to the city and to its schools through taxes. Furthermore the nearby banks and liqueur stores are able to profit because the club will not have a liquor licence however will let its customers bring their own alcohol and the clubs entertainment is payed generously by its customers creating a need for fast cash. Both such business's are conveniently located across the street. Girls of Ohio University willing to partake in this entertainment industry will be able to profit from this as well by earning up to two thousand dollars a night could conceivably pay off their debts for a college diploma. This club also presents some concerns. The area this club will located is notorious for sexual assaults and robberies as of now but by bringing this club to the area it could potently attract unneeded violent people. Also by bringing this business to Athens it may open the door for more not as socially accepted business's in the future. Verrillli, Austen. "Stimson Hood Reacts to Stip Club." The Athens News.
