Lavonia - Cafe Risque was a little more true to its name than residents of a small northeast Georgia town could take.
The town of Lavonia shelled out nearly $1 million Tuesday to buy and shut down the strip club along I-85. Then, the city quickly burned the interstate signs advertising the club, which was popular with truckers.
Cafe Risque was opened in 2001 by Alachua, Fla., businessman Jerry Sullivan. The city went to court several times to close it but was never successful.
Lavonia has since passed an ordinance outlawing adult entertainment businesses.
Sullivan died in his sleep in 2006 at age 47, but the club continued to operate under new ownership. The city was finally able to buy the club after negotiations.
