WAYNESVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — A sign for a strip club in North Carolina is causing controversy.

The bright green sign reads: “Future site of The Hoochie Hut – 24-hour adult superstore and strip club. C****** soon."

Rich Black, who lives feet away from the sign, has some concerns.

It’s not appropriate,” Black said. “I’m glad I don’t have kids here. They had some fun with the word ‘coming’ and that’s just not appropriate I mean, really? Come on!” In addition to traffic and parking issues, Black said he’s worried about the financial impacts of the potential new business, and he did some online research.

“The only thing that would be worse for lowering your property value would be if you have a bad school district,” Black said. “It would be better if this was a sewer plant instead of a strip joint!”

According to Black, he also looked up Haywood County’s planning and zoning regulations.

“You can’t have anything like that unless it’s more than 1,300 feet from the edge of the property,” Black said. “I’m one of those that say you can do whatever you want with your property, but if it’s against zoning ordinances as far as I know, or it’s seriously impacting people next to you, then maybe we need to think about this [and] have a meeting of the minds.”

[who knows what evil?]

'Spirit of discernment', and all that.

I did go to Bryson City for the eclipse, and I'm still here. :-)

I believe I do have a spirit of discernment, at some level…….
……all I have ever seen at these gatherings are good hearted mountain folks…..with their handmade, homemade wares ….

Bryson City is a favorite of ours
