Texas is particularly wild to me as a midwesterner. All the bibles and megachurches and all that and... They have strip clubs freaking everywhere! Really weird zoning laws as well - I recall seeing a strip club across the street from an Office Depot, next to a deli. The suburbs where I live, you have to go to a seedy part of town so you feel good and ashamed about it. lol
Some TV shows rightfully take aim at this contradiction (recently: The Hunting Wives).
- dgellow 3mo agoThat’s hilarious!
- brokenmachine 3mo agoMy uninformed guess as a non-murican would be that it's just zoned as a business. I doubt there would be a special zoning category exclusively for strip clubs.
- RajT88 3mo agoThat varies from state to state, and even city to city. Where I live "adult entertainment" businesses are forced in most cities to use industrial zoning, like in warehouse / factory districts. In Texas, I guess it is a lot more restrictive, but most of those businesses are "grandfathered" in because they were built before the suburban areas got built up and the tougher zoning laws went into place.
