For one thing, you live downtown, not in a gated community! Was that comment about prostitutes and atheists real or a joke? And who decided we should call ourselves a "community of Christians"? Why are people hiding their children from a disco ball in a private residence? If these comments are real I'm really shocked by how narrow-minded some of my neighbors are.

If they are an official club no not a nightclub but a book club type club And there were monthly dues this would be completely legal. Maybe the condo association is aware of the situation and are in the process of finding a legal way of getting ride of the owner/problem.<br /><br />Lets not forget about the original playboy club in the Gold Coast.

Or the increased likelihood we'll get run over crossing the street. Or the asthma our kids are at risk for thanks to all the highways in the neighborhood? Of course not. <br /><br />Parts of the south loop (Roosevelt Rd) already look and act like a gnarly suburban strip mall.

Why is everything such doom and gloom to so many on this board...."<br /><br />You don't get it; it's not a "fun", or a "geriatrics", or a<br />'Fo-shizzle' issue. Heck, I would be bangin out some drinks and partying also. <br /><br />However, if true, it's those annoying petty things like zoning law, use of a condo for commerical business, business license, liability, etc. If the activities are in a business establishment, have at it. However, someone in your condo building was dealing in questionable activities, someone has a whole lot of 'splanin' to do. <br /><br />I lived in a nice loop condo previous, where DEA showed up and busted a weed-ring next door. The owner seemed nice, but her brother is the one that set up his criminal enterprise out of her condo, which she eventually lost. As great as some might have thought the seizure necessity of the unit was, it did some serious damage to the comps for a few units trying to sell, while also setting the association back some money to deal with.

It's a bastardization of the euphemism "getting 'leighed" which meant going to the Everleigh Club at 2131-2133 S Dearborn.<br /><br />Either way, it sounds more like someone is creating a private after-hours place if people don't know how to actually get in.
