These are strange days indeed. It would seem that Seattle's popular Neighbors nightclub has run afoul of the building's owners and is engaged in a fight to remain open. Apparently the owners of the building that houses Neighbors have claimed that the building can be used for virtually anything but dancing. Strange that it took them 25 years to notice all of the illicit dancing.

A true cynic would probably see a conspiracy to evict and redevelop in an increasingly changing neighborhood - coincidentally (or not) putting another nail in the coffin of Capitol Hill's gay community.

But my guess is that the actual issue might be the incessant, suspicious, and baffling construction and reconstruction of every molecule in the club. I know of no other place that has remodeled the exact same spot in a club once every year. It has in fact become somewhat of a joke between me and my friends (who love the place) that there has to be some money laundering scheme going on there.

But who knows? Lets just keep our fingers crossed on this one.
