The Pink Slipper Gentlemen's Club

A new business south of town has raised concerns throughout the community and ignited online debates.
While critics say the Pink Slipper Gentlemen’s Club will negatively impact the community, co-owner Ronnie Durham insists the club offers adult entertainment in a clean and safe environment.
“People perceive this to be a business that brings in bad issues, but that is not our intent; we are here to provide a service for our customers,” Durham said. “We are not looking to make a negative impact, we are good people trying to run a clean business.”
Durham purchased the building eight miles south of Artesia five years ago but only recently decided to open the business as a gentlemen’s club. He says it is nothing new for the building, which, prior to housing The Branding Iron steakhouse, was a gentlemen’s club. … For the rest of the story, subscribe in print and on the web.

The Pecos Valley, and Artesia in paticular, is such a booming center of commerce that there HAS to be a business more desireable and more profitable than a “gentleman’s” club. Use a little imagination and do the community a favor by not making Moms and Dads explain to their children what a “gentleman’s club” is.

there is nothing harmful nor illegal about this club. not everyone shares the same beliefs so theres no since in preaching at them. and if you disapprove of “gentlemans club” being on their sign, simply ask them to remove that part. whether they do or not is their choice. god bless america :-)
