Indianapolis Escorts: City Plans Legal Action Against Lingerie Shop
The city contends that the modeling studio, which also sells adult videos and novelty items, is in violation of several zoning laws, including operating an adult entertainment business within 500 feet of a residential dwelling district, along with landscaping requirements and sign violations.
Community leaders spoke out at Tuesday’s hearing against Secret Dreams and the clientele they said it brings to the area.
“What we disapproved of was the live entertainment, period. If you look at what’s happened in other situations with live entertainment, things go bad,” said Mike McCormick with the 40 West Business Association.
“One of the things we’re fighting in that area is the prostitution and the issues that we have on Washington Street,” said Patrice Duckett with the New West Coalition. “We feel that bringing in this type of business will only hinder us and the progress we’ve made.”
