“Chicago’s famed Wild Hare reggae club finally has the OK to host live music at its new Lincoln Park location,” <em reports.
“The club was originally denied its license at a hearing brought by petitioners from the neighborhood.
“In August, a Cook County judge ruled that the club, which had operated in Wrigleyville for 25 years, had been wrongly denied its license.
“The City of Chicago quickly appealed that ruling and the case had been stuck in court until Friday’s granting of the license.”
Which is great, but commenter Scott is right when he says the story contains “no explanation for the crux at the end. What happened? Did the courts reject the City’s appeal or did the City drop it?”</em
