Bates-Hendricks Newsletter 2011 December Upcoming Bates-Hendricks Meetings The December Bates-Hendricks neighborhood association meeting will be Monday, December 5 at 6:30pm. There will be a pitch-in meal, so bring a side dish or a dessert if you can! The January association meeting will be January 9, which is the second Monday of the month. Sassy Kats Showclub Has Shut Down For several years now, the neighborhood has attempted to rid the corner of East and Lincoln Streets of a “gentlemen’s” club. Frankly, it is just very dificult to mount a strong enough case against such an establishment to close it down. However, relentless eforts by neighborhood leaders, compelling support from IMPD oficers and detectives, and the club’s own wrongdoing finally brought an end to their operations in our neighborhood. It started with presenting a case to the county alcoholic beverage commission when Sassy Kats’ alcoholic beverage permit was up for renewal. After much information collection, several hearings, and successful neighborhood remonstration, the county board voted to “strip” the showclub’s alcoholic beverage permit. Without their alcoholic beverage permit, the establishment just doesn’t seem as inviting to its patrons. Sassy Kats representatives elected to appeal this ruling with the state Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (ATC). Once again, the neighborhood and IMPD stepped up. Eventually, it looked like the showclub was out of luck and needed to look at other options. The current ownership of the showclub had put money into the business that they wanted to recuperate. The showclub’s ownership was presented with the option to sell their liquor license to a new restaurant outside of the neighborhood. As long as the neighborhood and IMPD agreed to this license transfer, the state would not revoke their license, but rather allow them to transfer (sell) it to this new restaurant. Selling their alcoholic beverage permit to someone else would also allow the ownership to recuperate some of the money they put into renovations. After working out a legal agreement with council for the showclub owners, the transfer was approved by the ATC. The agreement stated that upon transfer of the liquor license, Sassy Kats would immediately close down and, regardless of the timing of the transfer, that it had to close down no later than January 1, 2012. Well, a license transfer hearing was held on November 21, 2011 and the showclub closed its doors for good on November 23. There are already some entities interested in purchasing the facility and turning it into something more neighborhood-friendly.
