SECTIONC "Tell the truth and don't be afraid" 8 nvestigation looks to cut A family affair topless club ByTHERESA GAVLIN Staff writer City Commissioner Greg Stewart said he is looking into different licensing procedures used by other communities to control or eliminate topless daneing.

As part of these districts, adult establishments could not be built within 1,000 feet of a church, school or playground, according to the Charleston Times-Courier. By using these districts combined with a licensing procedure, police would have access to the estab­ lishment at any time to see if restrictions of the license are being up­ held, according to the Times-Courier. Panther's Lounge, 1421 Fourth St., began offering topless dancing in August while appealing revocation of the establishment's liquor license earlier this year.
