'No' to strip club booze
Patrons of a West Chicago-area strip club will no longer be allowed to bring liquor inside with them. The DuPage County Board voted unanimously Tuesday to close a loophole that allowed patrons of Diamonds Gentleman's Club at North Avenue and Powis Road to bring alcohol into the facility where the sale of liquor is prohibited. The new law bans alcohol from any business that features fully nude dancers. No one from the club spoke against the law, which goes into effect in mid-March.
