The demise of the strip clubs
According to very reliable sources, the Room decided to do their 'remodeling' after their court hearing over Sharkey's in order to comply to the best of their abilities with the letter of the law (his words, not mine) and not draw any more unwanted attention. They're REALLY concerned with being shut down, at this point. Personally, I'm not sure if they can survive trying to run the place this way for long.
Rumor also has it that Kevin (who owns the Harem, as well as the carry out / drive thru behind it) is planning on reopening the place and doing a Diamond's type, full nude thing with it.
The reason Cheek's is scanning IDs is so they can keep track of who they've barred, supposedly. Still sounds like a seriously stupid way to do it, but that's just my opinion.
That's all I got for you gentlemen, should be interesting to see how this works itself out.

Seems like an easy way to keep banned people out of their club.
