There are nudy bars all over Manhattan not in seedy neighborhoods. Delilah's is three blocks away from my house and it doesn't attract any seedy element at all. In fact, most people wouldn't even know it was there.
The effort to stop Scores from opening was a bit overblown as well. 13th Street is seedy for a lot of reasons. I would say it has just as much to do with Pure, Woody's, and the other alley way bars in the neighborhood than it does with the Parker Spruce.
I have friends that live on S Sartain St. They love their street and neighbors, but a few times a year, they wake in the middle of the night to notice a fellow or two getting a b*** job in front of their house. Is that because of the Parker Spruce or Signatures? I think not. It's more likely because of Uncle's and the other bars in the neighborhoods.
Too many Parker Spruces in one place is probably a bad thing. But, it certainly isn't the reason for seediness in the neighborhood.
