Allure Petitioning to Become Aria – Allure plans to change ownership and become Aria Gentlemen’s Club, continuing as an adult nightclub. This follows city guidelines that allow a similar business to use the same property within a year after changing owners.
Our friends in Lindridge Martin Manor spoke with City Council Representative Alex Wan, who noted there's no deadline for the Mayor to decide on any ownership revocation. This process could take up to 12 months. Additionally, unless Allure is officially deemed a nuisance, there aren't immediate grounds to deny a new license for the location.
Given this information, we need to start another email campaign to encourage the Mayor to address this issue promptly. You can email Mayor Dickens asking for his support of the License Review Board's (LRB) findings and carrying forth the recommended penalties. Please share your concerns and personal experiences with him on how Allure Gentlemen's Club is impacting you.
