Street may lose money THE BATTALION Page 7 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1977 United Press International |EW ORLEANS — Bourbon m let’s racy reputation helps keep m gk tourist dollars flowing into the ^ Wv and the operator of four of the efs striptease clubs hopes a new task force won’t tidy things up much. 01 Jit’s kind of a touchy situation,” ffeeM Colacurcio said of the task 'oast F es P ro P osa l s . which include ture P n ^ owners to keep doors ould P e ^ s0 stro ^ ers can t take free e j. >aks at the strippers, eot I feveral other club owners said city gets worried about the e si* 661 ever y ^ ew y ears > but th on , Jug 65 are always minor. ill Colacurcio isn’t particularly con cerned about whether the doors must remain open or closed. One of his clubs. Big Daddy’s, has a glass door anyway. Persons passing by can see the dancer through a series of mirrors. But the French Quarter already has one commission designed to re tain the historic charm of the area, and he doesn’t want the new task force for Bourbon Street to make the street too clean for its own good. “We re happy the way it is,” he said. “I don t know why they want to change it. The sales tax receipts are as good or better than I can re member them.” The task force also plans to con sider cracking down on the street barkers used by some clubs to at tract customers, and on garish out door signs. Millie Lewis, manager of the Five Hundred Club, said her club would operate either way, although she said the open door does help attract customers. “We’ve gone through that be fore,” she said. “We’ve had ordi nances where we’ve had to work with open doors and we’ve had ordi nances where we had to work with closed doors.” Whatever they think is good for Bourbon Street is good for me,” she said. Paul Waggoner, assistant man ager of the plush Royal Sonesta Hotel on Bourbon Street, said the strip joints, and their open doors, only provide tourists with what they want. “Tve never seen anyone offended — not a word,” Waggoner said. “If it weren’t for that we wouldn’t have all the tourists.” Mayor Moon Landrieu, in an nouncing the creation of the task force, said the city would work with merchants and owners on a volun tary basis.
