Thats a little dark ages. I would be more than a little miffed to hear that town council is in the morality business
I'm with you but this wasn't just a case of morality (though it certainly played a part). It was a pretty sketchy spot in an evolving neighbourhood and the previous owner had died and his children wanted out. This seemed like a quick way to redevelop the land while in turn boosting surrounding property values. It was also a multiunit building so they didn't just buy a strip club.
Fun fact, I used to live on the same street as said club, just a couple blocks up.
When I was going to UNB in the 1980s, I lived on Ashfield street. Not that far away. The Northstar was pretty rough even then. I can't imagine it improved over the years.
Redevelopment is fine but why get all bent out of shape over a peeler bar or two? If a person is afraid of boobies, don't go. Seems pretty straight forward.
Meh, whatever. I'm very, very unlikely to ever move back. If I do head to an eastern city it would be Moncton, maybe Halifax.
