Legal troubles lead to new opportunity for local strip clubs

By Chris Jamele

Buffalo, NY – Federal raids earlier this month resulted in numerous arrests and the pulling of liquor licenses at a pair of local strip joints.

The legal wrangles have, however, opened a new opportunity for both. The lack of a liquor license in New York state allows each of the establishments to offer full nudity by their dancers.

There has been no confirmation by the owners of either Rick's Tally-Ho on Genesee street or the Twenty-four Carat Gold club on Route Five about offering fully nude dancers.

Rick Snowden, the owner of Rick's Tally-Ho, does hope to restore his liquor license.
