More on Strip Club

PPH:

The lawyer for a man who opened a full-nudity strip
club on Warren Avenue last week is denying city officials' allegations that his
client was deceptive about his plans for the business. Tom Hallett said Thursday
that Larry Ferrante never indicated to city officials that he planned to operate
a pool hall and arcade at Dreamers, as Westbrook officials have said. The club
opened Sept. 17 and was closed the next day, after city fire officials said they
found code violations involving fire alarms, sprinkler coverage and state
construction permits.
