A new teen club in Racine?

Two young entrepreneurs will soon be opening a new club for teens in downtown Racine. These young men have recognized that there is little to do in this town, especially for 18-20 year-olds. I applaud their capitalistic ideals and their vision in trying to doing something positive for their community. I wish them both luck in their new endeavor.

With that said, I hope they will take advice from a "somewhat" older audience - please be vigilant in maintaining a safe environment for your patrons. We speak from experience. Waaaaay back in the 80's, you see, we had 2 such clubs in the area. Checkers, on the north side of Kenosha, and Non-Stop, here in Racine. These dance clubs were EXTREMELY popular, however both clubs soon had problems with fights, gangs, etc. Both dance clubs ending up closing.

Please, please, please try to learn from the mistakes made by previous generations and maintain a safe environment for the young people of our community.
