Every single night, seven nights a week, thousands of people are out spending money at live music venues. You get eight Bears games a year drawing 60,000 people, but many, many more come to our venues over the course of a year. Every night of the week in Chicago is a music festival on par with anything in New York, L.A. or Nashville. |
Some of our kids don't have the basic necessities. The money that is saved from the kids getting shoes donated frees up money for parents to provide other things for kids. |
We support the democratic will of the people. It won't affect our business. I'd say 20 to 30 percent of our clientele smokes. But an owner should have the right to be a smoking place. Maybe they should have licenses where you get to be a smoking bar. We have three filters and huge industrial exhaust fans anyway. We wouldn't have to worry about that anymore. |
We want our kids on the basketball court and not in the courtroom. |
