Default Re: Burlesque Show in Guthrie

Brook I think you need to be a tad more precise in your comments, most of the people looking here have no idea what your talking about.

I'll help.

The Bluebell Saloon in Guthrie, (FYI the oldest bar in Oklahoma), the current owners are attempting to remodel the upstairs that was burned about a year ago. In the upstairs they would like to have "Burlesque" type shows. The owners are in a dispute, of sorts, with the city counsel on whether it is zoned for such things, basically what the definition of "is" is, type of argument.

The Bluebell is located on the south-west side of the downtown district. The gun fight shows use to happen right in front. Historically, the upstairs of the Bluebell was a brothel in the early days before and after statehood.

Some of the arguments have been; If it's done in a classy way, historically it's pretty interesting to have it there, and other's say it's trash and we shouldn't allow it in our town.

That's the argument as I see it.
