No Hooters

[MTigers006]

Just featured on 19 Action News. The owners of The Strip Shopping Center have said NO to Hooters replacing Joe's Crab Shack. They feel it is wrong being there is a Chuck E. Cheese in the center. Hopefully this leaves the door open for Massillon. Your Thoughts.

[DAWGH8R]

I like the one by my house !!!

I am also sure it doesn't help that a Quaker Steak and Lube is going in right on the other side of 77....

Bunch of stupid, backwoods 'necks.

Bunch of stupid, backwoods 'necks.

I have to agree with the property owners on this one Carle. If the building was at the other end of the plaza and not right next door to the Chuck E. Cheese, then I wouldn't have a problem with it.

[longtimefirsttime]

I can understand why some might object to that.

But many Chuck E Cheese locations are not exactly safe. Many of them sell alcohol, which has led to problems.

Why? Don't kids like chicken wings and burgers? I don't see the worry?

[Paul Brown]

Ive only been to the Hooters in Myrtle and the girls were less than impressive. What makes you think we can pull better ones than Myrtle Beach.

You can't. All the good ones are down here. And MAN OH MAN the ones in South Beach are freaking unbelievable. (The chicken wings, I mean)!!!

Seriously...Every Hooter's I have been in is filled with families and kids.

ChuckECheese prolly objected to the competition for the family outings.

The only time Hooter's is predominately male seems to be in the middle of the afternoon when the golfers stop by.

Even if it is always predominantly male, it's not like it is a strip club.

Exactly. I've been taking Andrew in there since he was a freaking baby. I swear some people should worry about stuff that is REALLY important instead of idiocy like this. Good GOD.

[gotigers1]

I've never been in one, so I can't really comment. I can only go by the stereotype the place has gotten over the years.

[CarlE]

Stereotype from who? Others who haven't ever been in there?

[Smitty]

Stereotypes. Yup.... all Pollaks are stupid, Scots & Jews are cheap, and Hooters girls are "ho's".

It seems folks who've NEVER been in a Hooters believe it to be of a "night-club" atmosphere and the waitresses are "strippers" or prostitutes. Yeeeesh!!

I took my whole dang family to the Boca Raton FL Hooters back in '91; the kids were 5-9 years old at that time. Even the wife commented on how good the wings were, the cleanliness of the place, & the good service. Since then, we'd have many family birthday gatherings (aunts, uncles, & grandparents) at the Cleveland Flats Hooters ... before it closed.

My nearest Hooters, now, is in Spokane WA... and it's also got a casino!! (It's not nearly as lavish as the one Dawgh8r visits in LasVegas, but it's OK.)

[Ms V]

My husband and I went to the Hooters in the Flats before it closed and there were people there with their children. I didn't think it was that bad and the service and wings were good.

I think the Quaker Steak & Lube wings are okay. Not that good to me. We went to PA to get them and I wasn't crazy about them. Hooters wings are better. Just my opinion.

[MTigers006]

The place is run with class and the dont put up with anything from rowdy customers. The girls wear nothing more or less than your daughter would wear to her high school cross country meet. Its not a big deal. I smell dirty politics here. Oh well, plenty of room in Massillon.

Funny you mention smell, because that might just be the thing that keeps them from wanting to put one in Massillon.

[MTigers006]

Spize, my friend you got a point there. But I was thinking downtown Massillon within walking distance.

[chap]

You can't. All the good ones are down here. And MAN OH MAN the ones in South Beach are freaking unbelievable. (The chicken wings, I mean)!!!Mr. Sly as a Fox!

[chap]

I was at one in Columbus and in Baltimore. My wife finally gave me permision to stop staring at my plate!LOL

[jobdone]

Get real , where is Massillon going to find 12 pretty girls?--The Federal League?

[CATS44]

The Tracks?

:oops:

[pigskinmccarthy]

The Tracks?

:oops:

no they said pretty girls, not overweight chicks with a mustache haha

[WoodyHayes]

I just cut, pasted and sent this to Andrews grandmother. You are in big trouble Mister. I know who she is.
PS: I think it is an excellent choice for dad/son bonding. Lets the little feller learn the "no touch" rule for when he graduates to the strip club.

[ChronicTiger]

Hooters....Great place to take the family.....??????????????/

Sorry guys but I have to disagree.......

All this talk about good food, good service, clean atmosphere.........I suppose you guys will start a thread about the editorials in Hustler next?

If someone is afraid to take their kids to a Hooters, they better never take them to the beach!!:doh:

Or the mall or football games in late August. :laugh:

[ChronicTiger]

LOL. If a place named after a set of breast and known for beer, wings, and hot chicks in tight shorts is where you want to hang out with you family more power to you.

Yeah....who wouldn't want their children to be served their food by a pair of these??

http://www.goosehooterstour.com/thumbnails/index/Irene_01_small1.jpg

I bet her Grandmother is just so proud of her. She could have done anything with her life, but she chose to bend over, squeeze, lean, shove and stick out the girls for the enjoyment of others.....oh yeah, and for money.

[man2man]

:iagree: I think any parent who would take young kids to Hooters (then brag about it) is lacking some serious understanding about what messages they are sending and what examples they are setting.

And yes Chronic, you and I are agreeing about something!

Son, someday I would like to meet you and teach you about the message of life. If that is humanly possible. And please TELL me what messages they are sending at Hooters. I know three of the guys that started the damn thing. PLEASE tell me what their message is so I can let them know they were all wet while playing poker thinking this up.

But hell, what do I know? I don't have coffee with Coach Stacy mornings after games. And by the way, have you been to any mall or beach? Do you HONESTLY believe that what is going on at Hooters or The Wing House is worse than that? Once again, the clueless one speaks. And the fact you have the genius Chronic agreeing with you just validates my point even further.

[man2man]

PC has nothing to do with it. Hooters and what it represents is inconsistent with the values that I am teaching my children about gender roles, objectification of women, treating others with respect, that people's real value is what's inside of them, not what they look like, etc. That's all.

For me and my family, supporting that particular business would send a confusing mixed-message to the young people in my family. I can go lots of places and get better food and not dilute the values we believe in as a family.

Adults, who have already chosen their value system, can go wherever their conscience leads them. My primary responsibility right now is in raising my children in the best way possible.

Another stalk and attack. :sleepy:

What's harder to believe - that I happen to know another guy that lives in Stark County, or that you hang out and play poker with the guys who started Hooters? Whatever. Go enjoy your BBQ's Booby wings and I'll support the team at Booster Club tonight.

Does Tom give you a backstage pass ??? PS. The "team" won't be there !!! :wink:

Teaching children that objectification of women is wrong? Teaching children that who people are on the inside matters more than how they look on the outside is a "fallacy"? Well, at least we know where each other stands.

Please refrain from directing anymore posts toward me.

So girls that wear shorts and low-cut blouses are being "objectified"? And what do you call girls that wear bathing suits at the beach? Or are you a Puritan and have never been to one. Refrain? Absolutely not. I'm going to CONTINUE to call you out and challenge the lunacy that you try to spew here on MP.COM. You are a TROUBLEMAKER, and you just are not used to anybody challenging the diatribes that you posts. Too bad, so sad. I NEVER let anyone like you get away with stuff like this. NEVER.

[ChronicTiger]

So girls that wear shorts and low-cut blouses are being "objectified"?

No......BUT when they are hanging out of those shorts and low-cut blouses to attract customers and standing under a sign that says "Hooters" I would argue that they are being objectified. They are called Hooter girls and have a calender and magazine for a reason.....the reason genius is that they are being objectified for profit! I dont have a problem with this place as an adult venue but I would never take children in that place. God forbid my daughter has any aspirations to be a Hooter girl.....

On another note I kinda think its funny that the sideshow of women actually attracts people to pay a high price for mediocre food and beverages....

Now stop with your lunacy its not like the beach or the mall. If you feel comfortable taking children to a place named after a set of woman breasts...more power to you...its just not something I would do.

[Obie Wan]

I think you need to review the difference between the active and the passive voices. Nothing is being done to these girls - it's being done by these girls. That makes them willing participants in a marketing strategy. Like the girls in a Snap-On Tools calendar - and I don't notice anyone calling for a boycott of vice grips.

I would also say that the "girls wear less at the beach" argument is a bit shallow as well. It's akin to saying that it's OK to punch your wife because some guys shoot theirs. Point being, it's a question of absolute - and not relative - propriety.

[CarlE]

You think your special because you live in florida? Although I may have introduced myself to you in PM....You dont know me fool. Like I said before go right ahead and subject your children to soft porn if it makes you feel good. Talk about hiding behing computers....let me know when your up here for a game......I would like to talk to you.

Um, you didn't introduce yourself to me. I just know stuff. As far as the veiled threat??? Yeah, I'll let you know when I'm up there. Unlike the rest of you cowards everyone knows when I'm making an appearance. I'm at a tailgate, downtown and wide open Junior. Believe me, you'll be one of the first to know. But nice try with the scare tactic. And no, living in Florida has NOTHING to do with why I'm special. But once again, thanks for playing. As far as talking to me though you'll have to get in line. There are quite a few people that want to talk to me. I'll most definitely want to get to them before I get to you. LOL.

[Paul Brown]

Everyone knows Carl moved to Florida cuz he's old and wanted to feel young again.:tounge:

[Paul Brown]

Uh huh. Except for the fact they're in a school now that you would probably save your whole life to send someone to. .


Speaking of that.. Carl can you help me with these student loans. I'm making payments larger than my mustang payment to pay these back. And I have 9 more years of them... Geez.:mad:

[ChronicTiger]

Uh huh. Except for the fact they're in a school now that you would probably save your whole life to send someone to. Now go away little boy. You're boring me. Tool.....nice one.

there you go again bragging and acting tough.....and YOU talk about people hiding behind computers???

You win, Jethro. I'm done. And be reading on here for my impending visit.

I know I won. Pretty typical stuff from you....post with no value and when you finally realize your wrong you result to insults, bragging about money, and who you know......

pathetic...


I'll be watching for your visit....

I think that you are comparing apples to oranges. Some folks on here made mention of the fact that the clothing worn by the servers at Hooters is not something that children should see. All I said was that when you take your family to the beach, waterpark or amusement park for a vacation, the females are wearing alot less. Is that OK for kids to see?

[PurpleArmy]

I have to agree with the property owners on this one Carle. If the building was at the other end of the plaza and not right next door to the Chuck E. Cheese, then I wouldn't have a problem with it.

I don't see a problem with it being next to Chuck E. Cheese's. After all, most babies LOVE breasts, of which there are plenty of at Hooters, so what's the big deal? Seems like a natural fit to me. :jestera:

God I hope they person who made that comment dont go to any High School Track or Cross Country Meets, Volleyball Matches, or god forbid have daughters who an interest in Cheerleading/Gymnastics.
Hooters Mascot is an owl. Plus I have never seen anythng hanging out. Hooters isnt really high priced. I think someone had a bad experience at Hooters and now speaks out against them. I however applaud you for trying to bring your kids up right though. Hooters isnt as bad as you think.

You really think that being relevant on massillon proud or yappi accounts for anything in the real world? I didnt think you were that much of a loser but hey keep on building up on your high school football forum posting reputation, it will take you far!

pathetic!

For the record, I love fried pickle chips at Hooters.
