Mike, this is where terms like "common sense" should be applied.. of course you wouldn't put a strip club next to a school, that's why cities have zoning ordanances. Has anyone asked the locals if they care whether or not somone builds a mosque..(because their opinion is the only one that really matters in this case). at the end of the day this is New York Citiy's business and no one else's.
