Jewish leaders in Baltimore are expressing concern over the possibility of a strip club opening a block away from the city’s Holocaust memorial. The leaders are worried that the club’s opening might make the memorial susceptible to the same vagrancy, drug use and sexual activities that plagued the $300,000 memorial before it was redesigned and flooded with bright lights in 1997, at a cost of $250,000.
