The Blush expansion can proceed; appeal vowed
An Allegheny County judge's decision will allow expansion of a Downtown strip club to move forward over objections of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and Pittsburgh Public Schools as they appeal a zoning decision.
Common Pleas Judge Joseph M. James on Thursday denied a request to stay the June decision of the city's Zoning Board of Adjustment that would allow Blush, 135 Ninth St., to expand into a vacant building at the corner of Ninth Street and Penn Avenue. The Pittsburgh School for the Creative and Performing Arts is near the club.
