Peppermint's provocative pitch

Members of the Pasadena City Council and city staff recently received a special invitation from an unlikely source.

Peppermint Gardens, the adult cabaret which opened at a former Shakey's Pizza on Foothill Boulevard and prompted a moratorium, hasty code revisions and a slew of lawsuits, apparently wants to say "no hard feelings" to City Hall by offering free entry.

As a former Planning Commissioner and newly elected Councilwoman, maybe Margaret McAustin will get me in as her date? (John will totally understand, right?)

The complete flyer -- just a little too hot for the 1950s-era values of our printing press -- is posted below the fold.
