Cops called to kid-friendly venues more than strip club

Which venue would you think gets more reports of trouble calls: Déjà Vu Show Bar or Chuck E. Cheese's and John's Incredible Pizza? The strip club, or the family-friendly pizza shops?

Well, the kid's birthday bash spots take the cake. They've each been home to more peace disturbances in the last three years than the club, according to statistics gathered from law enforcement agencies.

And oddly enough, so have Skateland, Fox Theater, Riley's Tavern, Riverwalk and Rabobank Arena.

We asked for statistics to see how often police get called to various kid's venues around town, as well as some other popular non-kid's venues to compare. We also looked at how many annoyances were reported for each.

Among the family entertainment venues, Chuck E. Cheese received the most peace disturbances, with nearly 30 percent of the calls for service being for just that.

Moral of the story, take your kids to strip clubs for their birthday parties :)
