Council red lights Rouge Lounge
A long-time club on Water Street that's been vacant for years will remain so for the near future at least. The space at 530 N. Water St. Has not been without its troubles in the past, featuring shootings, parking problems and other external and internal strife. Downtown Ald. Bob Bauman is concerned that would happen there again and opposed a plan by Heide Beste to reopen the joint as a club / lounge called Rouge Lounge.

Asian Moon canceled again
Last year, Asian Moon Festival -- which normally took place in June at the Henry Maier Festival Park at the lakefront -- was canceled due to a lack of volunteers. The same problem is among the reasons the event again won't take place this year.
