Excerpt: “There’s a big wall between us and Ryerson that’s got to be about 25-feet high, so if you’re a waitress or dancer on the roof, you don’t believe you’re being watched by a librarian who’s pointing some telescopic lens down at you,” he said. “To me, it’s almost like the guy is a Peeping Tom.”
The owner of the strip bar said he will caution his dancers to cover up. The fact that women’s faces are clearly shown gets Cooper hot under the collar — and not in a good way.
“The (women) don’t mind doing what they do for a living inside the bar, but they don’t publicize it outside,” he said. “Everyone has parents. It’s not something I think is ethical behaviour by the librarian.”
