Authorities in Prince George’s County said Wednesday that they have ordered 12 strip clubs in the area to shut down by Friday after a battle over their locations and new, stricter zoning rules.
The clubs, which offer “adult entertainment activities,” were issued letters from the county’s Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement saying they have to close by 5 p.m. Friday. If they don’t, they will face citations and fines, officials said.
The clubs and the county have been involved in a year-long fight that went to court over keeping their doors open at their current locations.
Some residents who live nearby complained to officials that the clubs were unsightly and created unwelcome traffic, extra parked cars, noise and trash. That pushed the county council to pass legislation several years ago that restricts the zoning on where such businesses can locate. The county’s new rules restrict adult entertainment clubs to light industrial, warehouse areas, officials said.
The clubs that the county is pushing to close are “either in residential areas or commercial areas where they don’t coincide with what’s there,” said Susan Hubbard, a spokeswoman with the county’s permit and inspections office.
She said the new, stricter zoning rules are meant as a “push to get them out of those zones and put them in locations where they won’t affect what’s within the area.”
The clubs that have been ordered to close include the following: two in Temple Hills called X4B and Harley Riders; two in Hyattsville called Mustangs and D2/Fuego; and two in Camp Springs called Club ? and Hangar Club.
These clubs are also on the list to close: Bazz and Crue in Forestville, Ebony Inn in Fairmount Heights, Upscales in Suitland, Grandma’s South in Capitol Heights, Mile High Club in Clinton, and Maages/Sinsaysional in Seabrook.

Thats how it goes...down here it used to be big with poker clubs and video gambling game halls. They outlawed that ? citing gambling addiction as the cause. Then the next year or so, they brought out the south carolina lottery and scratch offs....lol, calling it the south carolina education lottery cause 10 percent goes to school funding.
They know what they'really doing. The government is one big legal extortion racket. -

Man I remember the first time I went to Irvin's off Brightseat rd. Pulled up in the parking lot & saw a Tahoe truck bouncing up & down. Seen a strippers legs in the air getting her back blown out in the backseat.
At the entrance, it was this Bushwick Bill, looking midget asking for I.D. Didn't know the joint was BYOB, so I went back to my car and grabbed a bottle of Remy. Went inside and it was like 50 naked ? running around!!
? looked like a ? stampede. Ass & ? everywhere. Place was dark as ? , and all the chairs were bent back like lawn chairs. I'm gonna miss that place. -
Damn racism extends down to the ? shakers too.....? this country

So he gets a lapdance and just screws his face up on some 'man she stinks, thats enough' . Like he was too good. ? are noticing, not amused lls
She got in her feelings tried to charge him for 2 songs instead of 1. You can,hear,em over the music he's rwally arguing witb the stripper lmao They got him up outta there over that $ 5 -
