DFE Airport

DFE Airport: American Airlines Flight Status, On Thursday morning, through a closed session, the airport board instructed its lawyers to file formal opposition with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission for the club's application for a liquor license, according to airport spokesman David Magana."More liquor is sold in the airport each day, who are they kidding?" said Eric Lang an, the president of Rick’s Cabaret. Rick’s Cabaret is planning a fresh location on Airport Freeway in Fort Worth outside the south exit of the airport.

The airport board, and Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief, said their concerns are that the gentlemen's club will be the first thing visitors to North Texas see when leaving the airport's south exit."There are issues with the presence of the commerce on the south end of the airport that don't reflect fine on the airport," said Magaña.Langan said the City of Fort Worth had already approved zoning for the property and all required building permits for the $4.5 million dollar facility which was always planned to be an adult business."It was not something that was on our radar, literally, and now that it is, it has our full and total attention," said Mayor Moncrief.The TABC staff said it has found no cause to oppose the request but there will be a hearing to determine whether or not the license is issued. TABC Captain Charlie Cloud said it could be summer before the issue is decided."On January 20th, the club is going to open," said Eric Rubenstein, universal Manager of Rick's Cabaret. "We're going to be in business and we're going to be good neighbors and we're going to provide excellent entertainment to the citizens of the Retroflex."If the club does not have a license, Lang and said customers would be allowed to bring their own liquor. There is some concern that with a BYOB concept there would be no state supervision and enforcement of the alcohol beverage code."There's not manage, there's no monitoring, when they get through drinking their 24 pack; they're liable to get into their vehicle and drive off. So which is a greater danger to public security?" said Capt. Cloud."Either one is bad. One is no worse than the other. As far as I'm concerned, this is a very poor position for this type of business," said Mayor Moncrief.
