Georgia- A northeast Georgia small town voted earlier this week to spend $1 million to buy the Cafe Risque so they could shut the strip club down.

The announcement of the decision by the mayor was met with a standing ovation. City crews had a bonfire of the clubs sign and advertisements at the club site.

The town of Lavonia could have spent the money paying off bonds for a water treatment facility upgrade, but instead wanted to eliminate the adult entertainment venue they have fought for years.
