This is where I first heard of this crazy story. Actually its "America Justice" but hey, Investigative Reports was basically the same show.
132 - Dancing, Drugs, & Murder
The sleazy story of New York club king Michael Alig, who murdered a drug dealer, dismembered his body, and threw the parts into the Hudson River. Includes interviews with Alig, his mother, and former "club kids", who were a part of Alig's seedy nightlife world. |

| Does anyone think that it could also be the doing of other clubs to stop the opening of Circa because they are afraid of the competition? |

I don't think so.
I think it's simply due to the fact that it's smack dab in the middle of a now 'condo-land', and they are now rethinking what is more 'valuable' to the city.... a superclub? Or happy residents in a bunch of over priced housing units?
My guess is the latter.... |

I would be interested to see how much money is generated for the city through permits, taxes and general commerce generated by clubland evey year. I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you move to the entertainment district, don't complain about drunk revelers and loud music...you should have seen it coming.
Also, anyone know what's happening to Fez Batik now that the outreach shelter has been squashed? |

the shelter has been squashed? Since when? Last i heard the city bought it last minute and is well under way into turning into a homeless shelter.
Here's my theory on how this scam works:
Federal government offers $5 million for homeless shelter. City takes the $5 million to buy a building worth less than half that amount. (they paid at least $2million more than it was worth). City uses building as homeless shelter for a couple of years. City sells building to condo developer. City just made a cool $2.5 million off the federal government and now gets a condo on top of it. In the process they look like they care about homeless people to win votes. Not to mention the sweetheart deals that were probably made along the way that we will never know about.
Between that and the "crackdown" on clubs its dirty politics all around. And it's not designed with ANY residents in mind. Niether clubbers nor condo owners. Its all about politicians greed. It would be interesting to see the breakdown of campaign donations to city hall in the last election. Im guessing they probably had condo developers written all over the cheques. |

Sorry, that was a poor and uncharacteristic assumption on my part as I hadn't heard anything for a while...I'll do some reading.
Our welcome in Torono is slowly dwindling, kids...
I am now accepting donations to buy a barge I can convert into an entertainment complex, floating 1km offshore... |
