Doug yet again you have shown your irresponsibility in your reporting and your true intent which is to try and damage the reputation of a business you clearly have a personal vendetta against. The Jupiter did in fact completely catch up their taxes however it wasn't "just in time" for a New Years Eve show as New Years is next week. The show they re-opened for last night was in fact a CHARITY event for the USO of Missouri. That's right, after everything they held a CHARITY event to raise money to help the soldiers and USO of Missouri and on top of that donated a wealth of tickets to the USO to give to soldiers passing through Saint Louis for the Holidays. Interesting how every REAL news outlet in Saint Louis including the TV Stations covered the HUGE charity event they held yet you just made a snippy article trying to attack them YET AGAIN.

Again, if a Maplewood business opens or closes, that's what's news. I would think Mr. Callahan would be happy that Patch has reported that Jumpin Jupiter is now open again. Thanks for commenting on Patch.

I wish this place would just go away. "Bourbon Street" is a fun place to visit, but not a great place to raise a fsmily.

William I am well aware of the "long history" of the Jumpin Jupiter. My daughter has been performing at the Jupiter since before the beginning of Summer. All businesses have troubles, especially in their first few years of business however most businesses don't have a "reporter" that stalks their every move and then slants the stories every way he can in order to make it seem even worse. The funny thing about slander/libel is it doesn't have to be an outright lie, if you constantly report things that are slanted from the truth in an attempt to damage a business it's considered slander/libel.

As far as the standard M.O. of Jupiter you couldn't be more wrong. My daughter has never had a single complaint about working there. Jim and the rest of the management have treated her with the utmost respect, she loves going to work there and she has ALWAYS been paid on time. The performers that weren't "paid on time" in fact were quabbling over ONE missed payment out of the $80k plus they squeezed from Jupiter and those same performers publicly slandered/libeled the club and have since tried to threaten the current JuJu performers (my daughter included) with physical violence.

Doug as far as what is news you are correct it is news if a business opens or closes however are you saying it's NOT news that they did a huge charity event? The real newspapers and television stations in town thought it was. Are you saying you are more news then they are? I think not!

The truth is Doug you report everything with a slant in an attempt to damage the Jupiter anyway you can. You intimidate, stalk, and harass the owners at every chance you get. Not only is what you are doing slander/libel but possibly CRIMINAL. If you are going to be a "reporter" you have to report neutrally and both sides therefore you would have to show the good with the bad but you don't do that. I PERSONALLY am contacting the people who handle the Patch nationally and letting them know what you are turning their paper into.

Oh and JH as far as your Bourbon street comment, seriously are you that closed minded? Jupiter is not "Bourbon Street" they have a mixture of performances including bands and other things and yes Burlesque which is an ART FORM, they aren't strippers and it isn't an affront to the community. Perhaps if you are that close minded you should try and move to somewhere like Utah or you know just don't patronize the establishment......Burlesque is done multiple places in Saint Louis and the Jupiter does it classier and with more style than ANYONE else. Don't like it? Don't go to the show! I personally PROUDLY support my daughter every night she performs!

Doug you still can't even admit that you should have as a reporter covered the massive charity event they held for the USO? How is that not news? Or is it not news to you because you can't slant it to do damage to the club? Oh and I won't bother with your local managing editor, I will be contacting the people who run the nationwide "patch" and then lets worthless stalkers with personal agendas like you call themselves "reporters"

First of all I don't work for the Jupiter, not paid by the Jupiter it merely happens to be that my daughter performs there. Maplewood has a say in how their image is presented but this business ADDS to maplewood. This is a classy, well done, beautiful venue which therefore means it is only the close minded sort who would have a problem with it and then no they have no right. It's not a danger, it doesn't devalue the area, it adds something and brings revenue to maplewood. As far a bit of my own medicine papers have a legal obligation to present things truthfully. Whereas the Jupiter isn't hurting anyone or anything except for the delicate sensibilities of the close minded MINORITY, a "newspaper" or "reporter" intentionally trying to harm, defame, or otherwise negatively effect a business is not only wrong but ILLEGAL so therefore it's not the same.

I am curious, Burlesque Mom, is your daughter one of the "dancers" that was featured in the RFT article this summer? You know, the one with photos of the "performance"? It was a lovely photo of three young women making out in a blow-up kiddie pool. I am a resident of this neighborhood. I have young children. I have no issue with the legitimate performers of this venue. I do have problem with what amounts to the same kind of performance that you would find on the East side. I have a problem with girls that look like they are entering a wet t-shirt contest parading up and down Manchester as I walk to dinner with my family. In my neighborhood. This business is obviously being run poorly. I am a business owner and having your business license pulled several times in a matter of months does not bode well. They also have an incident of operating illegally. I hope your daughter has other job prospects lined up, because it doesn't look good for her.

As a matter of fact no she is not and although I was not offended by the show your mentioning that show was something like 6-8 months ago. Currently when it comes
to burlesque they have two shows a Friday Night and a Saturday Night show. My daughter happens to perform in both shows. They are both different but both BURLESQUE. The Friday night show is classic burlesque with a modern twist, their current theme involves basing the performances on movies including everything from Singing in the Rain to ghostbusters. It has a very fun, lighthearted style to it. The other show is what you would
Imagine of a Vegas style burlesque show very true to the roots of burlesque. Both are definitely art, comedy, theater shows not like the short running more riskee show they had in the summer. They also no longer do street advertising or anything of the sort although in my opinion nothing I saw from before was so terrible if you acknowledge we no longer live in the 50s and you aren't trying to shelter your children from the world. Regardless they two very different shows that everyone loves, they have had some snafoos but many newer businesses do they just don't often have someone trying to attack them and air their "growing pains" to the whole world as a personal attack. So if you have no problem with "legitimate" performers not doing anything like the show you mention then you should come see either of my daughters shows because you'd see how great they are!

Thanks for the info. I am glad to hear that the performances are back on track. The street advertising was definitely out of line. I am the mother of an 8 year old girl. The last thing I need her to see is a group of women on the street in fishnets and cropped tops. I am perfectly aware of the age we live in, but there is no reason for this kind of display. Sexuality is thrown at our children constantly. They are obviously going to be exposed to many things in their lifetime, but I don't see the need to throw it in their faces at a young age. I moved to this neighborhood for the family friendly community. Residents should be able to shop or have dinner with their families and not have to explain what these women are doing on the sidewalk.

Yo Jims Mom, I'm just going on what was offered up as a "rationale" for JJ. Some half-baked notion of St.Louis as a little brother to New Orleans and how great it would be to have that kind of Bourbon Street atmosphere somewhere.

William as a matter of fact during that particular set of shows Missouri Alcohol Board people came in to check up on legality and as a matter of fact there were NO violations. I know that for a fact. So not only does the venue itself not qualify under that statute not even did those performances qualify under that statute. Not to mention the fact if we are going to get into that discussion that statute is a gross violation of the first amendment and ridiculous it was even passed in this day and age. However regardless the Jumpin Jupiter is in fact NOT that type of business and you like mr "reporter" apparently just seem to have some personal problem with the venue and thankfully in this country a few close-minded idiots with personal issues cannot violate the rights of others.

FYI I am not "Jim's Mom" I am the mother of one of the PERFORMERS. I would state her name but frankly considering the idiocy of some I don't feel like making her endure attacks. Oh and go ahead and search Jumpin Jupiter on Riverfront Times, or Speakeasy Cinema (the friday show name) or just USO. Not only will you find pictures of the new show that is fantastic but you will also see information about how Friday's show went to benefit the USO of MIssouri. A fact all of you ignore. Just like "reporter" man ignored their multiple nights doing donation drives for Toys for Tots, the fact that they always give free tickets to military personnel, OH and that they have MULTIPLE other charitable events planned in the New Year.

Also New Orleans is an amazing city FULL of culture, music, history, and more. Filled with open minded awesome people. A city also declared one of the best places for a single mother to live to raise a family because of schools, safety, jobs and more. Saint Louis could have all that and more but we attack business's employing people and bringing culture to the community and we are considered one of the most dangerous cities in the COUNTRY. We share a lot of history with New Orleans but yet we don't prosper the same way....so why would it be so terrible if we had a little New Orleans in Saint Louis hmmm?

NO DOUG, you as a REPORTER should REPORT what is TRUE and HONEST and NEUTRAL. Unless you think your little blog is more important than KSDK, KMOV, the Riverfront Times, etc. because they all covered it because it was NEWS. It wasn't some little half ass event, they gave out hundreds of tickets to the USO when all the troops came in for the holidays and furthermore made the night a benefit for the USO. That's news, but again YOU didn't "REPORT" it because you couldn't use it as a way to try to hurt the Jupiter. I see right through you.

Wow, Burlesque Mom. You seem to be going off the deep end a bit here. You do realize that the city and county of St. Louis are two separate entities. When you hear the reports that St. Louis is one of the most dangerous, it is based on city statistics. Not county.
While it is great that JJ has held a wonderful charitable event, you can't argue the fact that they also have had a lot of problems. Not paying taxes, not paying performers, operating illegally without a license. I think the residents of Maplewood are entitled to this info. I hope they can pull it together and be successful. I have heard good things as well as the bad. I would hate to see a Maplewood business fail and have another empty space on a prominent corner.

It's not an adult cabaret it hosts tons of different types of performances Burlesque being their primary yes but they also have comedy, music and more. That zoning law would be appropriate it were it some trashy place like Roxy's but that is NOT what it is and anyone who thinks of them similarly clearly has ZERO culture. Additionally aside from the one routine over HALF A YEAR ago there hasn't been any wet t-shirts. Apparently they are zoned just fine because I am pretty sure if they weren't it would have been figured out in the time they have been open. Also this is the thing Maplewood Mom you are going off of the SLANT that Doug is putting on stories not the truth and THAT is why it is slander and libel, he is intentionally slanting stories to make them worse than what they are. All new businesses experience growing pains they just don't usually have someone documenting every single one to try to damage the business all hidden under the guise of "reporting". Also again my daughter has been performing their for months and has never NOT gotten paid. However without knowing both sides of all the things you mentioned and only having the grossly misrepresented information that Doug presents doesn't allow people to make a fair decision or properly judge. This is why I am aggravated. I am sorry but there are a reason slander & libel laws exist and the first amendment. It's so you cant just go around saying whatever you want to hurt a business because you dont like it.

If you Google JJ, there are several articles by other reputable news agencies such as KMOV and stltoday as well as the RFT that have reported on the various eviction notices, skanky summer performances (complete with photos), and unpaid tax issues. If you read the KMOV article, it is primarily about the unpaid taxes and revoked business license. There is one final line about the fundraiser. Do you also consider these other articles "slanted reporting"? I get that you are trying your hardest to support your daughter and that is great, but you are starting to come off as a little unhinged.

Nobody here believes you are anybodies mother. New Orleans IS open minded. Like the time I saw a a middle aged guy holding hands with a (maybe) teenage girl, in the Garden District. Is that the kinf of open mindedness you're talking about?

First of all you have no right to call anyone "SKANKY" unless you are perfect so you can cut that shit right there. Despite the fact my daughter wasn't one of the performers in that show no woman should have to suffer degrading attacks from anyone regardless of what you think of their "performance" or "job". As far as those other agencies most of them reported those stories MONTHS ago and reported it once, not 8 stories about the same thing while the reporter stalked the owners, taking photos without permission, lurking outside of the venue at all hours and more that is not reporting that is STALKING. As far as RECENT stories KSDK and KMOV both did nothing but a nice long piece about the new show/benefit as did the RFT. Yes they did a show some people didn't like 6 months ago and yes they have had some growing pains, that doesn't give Doug the right to slander them, libel them, stalk them, harass them, etc.

I don't care if anyone BELIEVES I am anyone's mother, come to the show Friday and I will gladly introduce myself and my daughter. JH maybe that was his daughter, or maybe it wasn't, if it was legal it wasn't your place to judge and if illegal the same things happen elsewhere. At least they embrace both their history and the 21st century way of thinking, they embrace culture and art and music, etc.

Seriously? Check it out:
skank·y
/ˈskaNGkē/
Adjective

Very unpleasant; revolting.
Sleazy; sordid.

No one is perfect, but yes, I consider three women in a blow-up kiddie pool on a stage making out and pouring drinks on one another skanky. What would your definition be? This kind of performance has no place in a residential neighborhood. Obviously, you are not a Maplewood resident.

Folks, I'd very much appreciate it if everyone could cool off a little bit and not resort to name-calling. Disagreement is certainly fine, but let's try to make our comments as constructive as possible. Thank you for understanding.

Maybe I am, Maybe I am not, I certainly wouldn't put it out there so Doug could stalk me as well. Additionally Maplewood Mom guess what my daughter was not in that performance, not in that show, they don't do that show anymore and it was ONE performance out of a whole show. You all want to call me unhinged? You all are clinging to crap from half a year ago and the reporter himself is stalking, harrassing and otherwise attacking people.

Ryan I don't know what your affiliation with this paper is, if you are an editor or above Doug perhaps you should get your reporter under control before you all end up being sued if not arrested. Seriously that's the funniest thing Doug is attacking the Jupiter for how they do business while he is breaking the law, stalking people, harrassing people, committing slander/libel and more.

Ryan you have this posted on your page.

Your Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.

Doug has been failing at that mission for MONTHS!

Well lets put it this Jims Mom, I knew they werent father/daughter just like I knew the leather boys in town that weekend in New Orleans werent Jehovahs Witnessess. It doesny take too savvy a person to suss things out. Since you are so keen on people being non-judgemental, please do not deign to lecture me on New Orleans.

JH and William both of you are missing the point and can now easily be lumped in with the slanted view of the reporter. The Jupiter has been in business for over a year so apparently they are zoned just fine, what one random person did in New Orleans means nothing. Here is the point the Jupiter has had some growing pains but they have made it through them. They have continued to survive and work hard, they employ people and pay taxes, they present shows and etc. that people enjoy and bring revenue into the city. They even have done multiple charitable events. The bottom line is they are open, they are legal and Doug is nothing but someone trying to do everything he can to attack them under the guise of reporting. I am done responding to this because obviously all three of you are close minded people who have personal issues with the business and won't just let them be. I personally hope Jim sues the crap out of Doug and the patch and continues to function if nothing else to spite all of you and as long as he does ill be there front row cheering on my daughter and her friends

Jims Mom, you're confusing being close minded, with an unwillingness to put up witth cheesy bullshit.

.....They arent necessarily the same.

You're right, B-mom DM is clearly trying to bring down the JJ, and the best way to start a mass bring-down of a business is the mighty local Patch. See, when a business is slimy and the owner has shown no sense of leadership in the area, people will tend to not like them. Its easy to throw out terms like you have, with no backing or facts. Doug is doing a fine job. I'm not sure who you are the mother of, but that doesn't really matter. JJ has had numerous issues, such as the dancers on the sidewalk, and those girls making out in the tub. Yeah, they may host a charity event now and then, but that is far and away outweighed by the shotty way the business is run and represented. Your arguments are cute at best, just like the business practices of the JJ.

This whole debate about J.J. reminds me of the story about an old lady who called the sheriff to complain that her next door neighbor was walking around naked, drinking whiskey straight form the bottle and making love to his very young girl friend. The sheriff immediately went to the complainant’s home to investigate.

The woman repeated her story, pointed out her dining room window at her neighbor’s house and asked; have you ever seen the likes of that? The sheriff replied, sorry ma’am I don’t see anything unusual. The complainant said; you need to get on top of the dinner table, pull back the valance and creek your neck to the left.

I have been to JJ a few times. Nothing bad going on there. If yu do not wnat to see foxy women dancing, do not go. But allow us that want to to go to a very good safe place. By the way, the owner is agreat guy and will treat you right. great burgers also!

Mr. Completely, its more like having a neighbor that the police are always visiting. But I wouldnt expect either you or Mr. Gibson to understand that, as I doubt either one of you live around the corner from the JJ. Not that the police are always at JJ, but it is that kind of I dunno, I guess disrespect maybe, thats off puting. Seriously what does it take to be a good neighbor? And why act like a victim when you get called on the carpet for not being a good neighbor?

None of those businesses attract and generate the
drama that JJ does. Sorry, you forgot your point.

....also EVERY ONE of those businesses you mentioned provides some service to the community, and I have patronized EVERY ONE of those businesses you mentioned. Its more than money in/money out that makes a good neighbor. By your estimation, if Jims Mom was running a straight up brothel at the corner of Manchester and Sutton, but was quiet as a mouse and made no waves, I should be content with that. I guess thats one way to think about the place that one lives, but in the long run I think it makes for a worse place to live.

OK lets get down to the point.

A business does not need your approval Jh, to be in business. You act as though the code in Maplewood says you and everyone else "around the corner" needs to approve of JJ if they are to be allowed to locate where they are. Wrong.

You don't have a point. You don't like JJ and you have made a hobby out of complaining about it. Its a private company operating a business within the law. Next.

Well, actually in Maplewood, if enough fuss and complaint is made a business WILL need some public spproval, or at least some acknowledgement of a problem/conflict and mitigation. Case in point, QT and its moving. So.... not sure what you are on about. I'm petfectly willing to put up with JJ, so long as they prove themselves a good neighbor. Just like I have to prove myself a good neighbor. And trust me, I do. You do too, wherever you may live.

OK Jh here's what I'm "on about".

Quick trip is trying to move from one location to another. JJ is already in business at their location. The two have nothing whatsoever to do with each other.

We're still waiting for that list of your examples of where JJ has not been a good neighbor to you. See if you are going to make a fuss with the city of Maplewood, the local newspaper, your spouse, whoever they need facts in order to address your concerns. Please state the facts behind your claims so that JJ and everyone else can address them and solve your issues or concerns.

Read all those Patch articlea for some facts.
When I had to explain to my 6 year old daughter what half dressed girls were doing on the corner, JJs "business" became my business. Thats another fact.

JH first of all that was a one time promotion that was never repeated from what I understand. Also I know what time those shows are performed and maybe you shouldn't have your 6 year old out so late. Also I saw what they were wearing and I've seen girls wear less at charity car washes, or just walking around the mall or any bar in saint Louis. They show more on prime time tv. So unfortunately in the grand scheme of things it's NOT your business because they were operating COMPLETELY within the law and therefore your delicate sensibilities don't matter. Also as I said it was ONE NIGHT over a half a year ago, MOVE ON, NOTHING they have done since makes them a "bad neighbor". Also FYI I'm getting sick of you calling me Jim's mom, I gladly stated I'm the mother of a performer.

I thought you were done here? As it is, your attitude is about what I would expect from somebody who neither lives in Maplewood or has children.

Wow. This truly fascinating stuff for the tiny town of Maplewood. If Mr. Miner is guilty of any bias, it's that he has a nose for news. I'm sure that if Schlafly or Wal-Mart exhibited similar shoddy business acumen, we would be hearing about it as well. Thank you for keeping the public informed of what is happening in our neighborhood!
And Burlesque Mom, please step away from the keyboard. I think you've written more comments than Patch has articles about the JJ, and you're not really helping your case at this point. Is Patch really the cause of the JJ's troubles? Really?? If Mr. Callahan had taken care of business in the first place (i.e., paid his taxes just like everyone else), his now legendary quotes would have never seen print, and he never would have appeared on reporters' radar. I hope that he's learned his lesson and will strive to operate his business responsibly in the new year. If not, then I look forward to seeing what the future holds for Maplewood's most visible storefront in the business district. I'd much rather see a pizza parlor at that spot. Or perhaps a proper music venue. The stage in there is really quite nice, and I'd love to see people with actual talent use it.

Hortence if the talent you speak of is VEP which is CLEARLY who you are talking about you have GOT to be kidding. They are the product of good marketing and that is all. Again I will put my daughter and her troupe against VEP any day because they may not have been doing it as long but they do it with more originality, class, style, beauty then VEP could dream of. Oh and they don't have the same holier than thou undeserved diva attitude that Lola does.

I have met Lola, my daughter and others have dealt with her and her "posse", I have seen Lola's show. She doesn't deserve half if ANY of the recognition she has gained. She is the product of good marketing and good timing that is all. She slams on anyone who isn't part of her fold. Given the time and the chance any ONE of the performers in my daughters troupe can and WILL earn the same recognition. From what I know Lola was at one time an actual east side stripper in the end the performers in my daughters troupe are better looking, more original, better dancers and have BETTER ATTITUDES than Lola on any given day and TWICE on Sunday. That's not just me that's week after week sold out crowds talking too. Oh and these girls perform EVERY Friday and continue to bring people in, they don't just repeat the same performance with different music once a month and call it new. Also they have done stuff for the USO now, Toys for Tots, Saint Louis Effort For Aids and soon Breast Cancer and other charities because they want to give BACK and do something good. Never seen ANY of VEP's shows do ANYTHING for Charity of course they are too busy charging 3 times what they are worth to do that.

I'm curious as to what "troupe" is at JJ, because a quick perusal of JJs website mentions no "troupe".

Correct, that is my job, BUT when undue and outside influences are brought into the equation, I then become much more entitled to an opinion than somebody who doesn't haven't children or live in Maplewood. Happy New Year indeed, you self professd know it all.

I am also a resident of Maplewood and mother to a 7yr old child. The nights the performers were on street corner was 9pm - that is not too late to have your child out and quite frankly it is offensive and sickens me that we had to walk past scantily clad women on the way back from dinner. I then had to try to explain that to my 7 yr old. I am all for burlesque, expressing yourself through dance etc. - but I do not think Maplewood is the place where this type of business should exist. They should move to Washington downtown or over to the east side. I love Maplewood - have lived here for over 12 years and this type of business does not fit in our town. I think the space itself is beautiful and it would be better suited for a nice restaurant, a place where bands could perform etc. I think the owner is unstable based on the interviews etc. and the pictures of the blow up kiddie pool were so cheesy and disgusting. They just need to shut down and go away - move on!

William seriously the horse you are beating is already dead and starting to stink. The Jupiter is NOT a sexually oriented business, its model has NOT changed, therefore none of the laws you are quoting apply. I am sorry you are so hell bent on thinking it's zoned wrong but it was zoned over a year ago and NOTHING has changed.

Jennifer S first of all it was one NIGHT (not nightS plural) that the performers were out there and they were COMPLETELY covered more so than you may see anywhere else in Saint Louis. Additionally unfortunately this attitude of "Maplewood is not the place" is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. The Jupiter is a wealth more upscale and positive for the "great city of Maplewood" than a pawn shop or other businesses in that area. Bands DO perform at the Jupiter and they serve amazing food so therefore it fits everything you have said. Additionally the kiddie pool thing was ONE performance in a show they ran over HALF A YEAR ago seriously all of you need to stop clinging to stuff that isn't even RELEVANT anymore. Burlesque is an ART FORM, and the Jupiter is one of the NICEST venues in Saint Louis because of how they run and what the ownership did to make it that way its not some cheesy strip club for the east side or even anything to put downtown. It's unfortunate you are such a close minded person because I am sure your daughter will grow up with the same close-mindedness you clearly show here. Thankfully based on the law and the constitution your ignorance will not affect the AMAZING Jumpin Jupiter where my daughter performs and they will continue to thrive. Your close minded ignorance can't force a business to close or move anymore than those of us who have actually ENTERED the 21st century can make you move for being a backwards thinking waste of breath.

It seems that some of the definitions in this discussion of what the JJ does are a bit subjective. Let's examine the municipal code (http://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientId=14510). Section 4.20 states:
"Adult cabaret means a nightclub, bar, restaurant, or similar commercial establishment which regularly features: (1) Persons who appear seminude; (2) Live performances which are characterized by the exposure of specified anatomical areas or by specified sexual activities; or (3) Films, motion pictures, videocassettes, slides or other photographic reproductions which are distinguished or characterized by the exhibition or display of specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas. "
In addition,
"Seminude or in a seminude condition means the showing of the female breast below a horizontal line across the top of the areola at its highest point or the showing of the male or female buttocks. This definition shall include the entire lower portion of the human female breast...provided the areola is not exposed in whole or in part."
If burlesque is performed as commonly understood (i.e., dancing and stripping down to panties and pasties), then the JJ is an adult cabaret and likely subject to the applicable zoning. Sec 4.84 states that such a business must be in an HM zone. It's moot though since the city is taking a laissez-faire attitude toward enforcement. If the JJ troupes are doing something that doesn't fit this description, well that's just boring.

Mr. Completely doesnt like that I dont like...... Oy Vey. And then tries to tell me what to do. The fact of the matter is, Jim Callahan is doing a prettty good job of proving there is a fine line between pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, and hoisting yourselff by your own petard And hey, if the the JJ gets it shit together, and acts like it has some respect for the neighbors, it matters to me not one wit, that its there.

Burlesque Mom = JJ owner. Let's get real. Too many details on the business that a staff person's mom would be privy to. It's actually pretty funny.

No I am not either of the JJ Owner's. As far as details my Daughter has performed there two nights a week and rehearsed 2 others for over 6 months. One of the two shows she performs in one of the JJ owners ALSO performs in and I have an open relationship with my daughter where we talk about everything. Not to mention I have become friends with Jim and the other owners and talk to them often. Why is that such a stretch of the imagination? Again here's what funny about this....ALL OF YOU are missing the point.

MONTHS ago Jupiter made the final payment to VEP (however undeserved), the show everyone keeps referencing ran for only a couple weeks with ONE night of street advertising and that was OVER SIX MONTHS AGO, they are also now COMPLETELY up to date on their taxes. They have squared away everything, most of which was a long time ago!

That proves clearly two things. One those of you continuing to attack and harp on the same stupid dated crap would look for any excuse to attack the JJ based purely on your own close minded backwards thinking ways. Two Doug Miner is NOT a reporter he is a stalker, a slandering libelist, a CREEPER, and someone out trying to personally do damage to a business he does not like.

I think at this point everyone has had their say. So to prevent this stream from spiraling downward into further name-calling on both sides, comments are now closed. Thanks all, for your contributions.
