Tulsa swinger club shut down by city before opening

That’s because of bureaucrats and the city’s zoning code.

On Feb. 9, the city closed Syn, a Tulsa event space, before it opened for business and entertainment at the southwest corner of 81st Street and Lewis Street.

Sexually explicit businesses are allowed within the city’s commercial and industrial areas, but they are not easily accessible everywhere. And protected areas, for example, are never within 300 feet of a school, public or private park, church, or residential area.

In this case, Singh, of Tulsa, turned a shuttered wedding store across from a private park owned by Oral Roberts University into an event and event space for a self-described “lifestyle club for couples and open-minded adults.”・Construction was being carried out to convert it into a space.

It didn’t last long, but a message later appeared on Tulsa’s Singh’s website announcing that the group was building a new location outside city limits. Then a post came in advertising two events at the temporary location “while we work on building a new Pagan home.”

“We all missed each other so let’s celebrate Syn’s path,” a second announcement said. “By having sex with each other”

Troy Hamilton, owner of Shin’s in Tulsa, said the south Tulsa location is a perfect fit for the club.

“There’s a struggling restaurant that could take 200 people every Saturday night if they let us go to 81st and Lewis,” Hamilton said. “That would have made a huge difference.”

Hamilton said Tulsa’s Singh has been well-received in other areas where he has operated because he has continued to maintain his properties.

“If we’re in a bad area, we clean up the bad area,” Hamilton said. “That place at 81st and Lewes treated the homeless badly, and we cleaned it up and it’s not basically an abandoned crack house.”

Mr Hamilton stressed that the club would only be open to consenting adults and no alcohol would be served.

“Our staff are not there to cause trouble,” he said. “You don’t go to a lifestyle club like that to fight. You’re there to look good and basically go on a date. Adults go on dates.”

Of course, not everyone likes the idea of ​​having a swinger club in their neighborhood. After complaints from residents, the city closed Thing on Tulsa’s south side before it even opened. Then, late last year, the city closed Tulsa’s Shin, an event space near Marshall Elementary School on South Peoria Avenue, after complaints from residents.
