SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH
If you've visited the YouTube LAKEandHALSTED page
recently, you may have noticed advertising on the individual video pages. YouTube members with a large following were asked to participate in a new Partner Program,
which allows advertising on their video pages. Revenue paid by the advertisers for clicking on their ads will be split between YouTube and the member page owner.
100% OF ALL REVENUE EARNED FROM OUR ADS WILL BE DONATED TO neighborWISE.org
a non-profit, volunteer group of Residents, Businesses & Community Organizations, working together with members of our Police Department to improve the quality
of life in Chicago's 12th District neighborhoods.
You don't need to watch the YouTube videos. By simply clicking on the LAKEandHALSTED ads
you can support these VERY important local programs.

Welcome! I’m the Editor of LAKEandHALSTED.com
HERE'S MY POINT OF VIEW
How did this site begin?
Read the 9/05 Editor's Reply in

Our Goal
has been to document and report on the local nightclub problems,
in order to hold the club owners and appropriate City Agencies accountable.
It's the PROBLEMS we're trying to make go away...NOT the nightclubs.
If a particular
nightclub is responsible for reoccurring problems that are NOT being addressed by the owner or management,
and the only way to eliminate the problems it to eliminate the nightclub, it's the nightclub owners who
are ultimately responsible for the consequences.
TO SUBMIT COMMENTS ABOUT THE LOCAL CLUBS:
WE'LL ONLY CONSIDER EMAIL FROM THOSE WHO SUBMIT THEIR NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION.
YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED UNLESS YOU REQUEST IT TO BE.
IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS, PLEASE STATE THIS AND YOUR NAME AND/OR
BUSINESS NAME WILL BE WITHHELD AND NOT PROVIDED TO ANYONE.
THREATENING OR LEWD EMAIL WILL BE TRACED, REPORTED TO THE POLICE
AND PROSECUTED UNDER THE ILLINOIS CYBERSTALKING LAW.
You shouldn't have to make a decision between your safety
and doing the right thing
WE'RE A GRASS ROOTS GROUP...TAKING BACK OUR NEIGHBORHOOD!
What happens on Lake Street, doesn't STAY on Lake Street
This site was created to DETER the violent nightclub fighting,
NOT glorify or promote it. While the CHROMIUM Niteclub has closed,
we'll continue to monitor nightly activity surrounding the area clubs.
THESE CLUB PROBLEMS ARE NOT RANDOM!!!
DIFFICULTIES CAN ONLY OCCUR WHEN CLUB OWNERS & MANAGEMENT DO NOT TAKE PRECAUTIONS,
ARE APATHETIC AS PROBLEMATIC CONDITIONS DEVELOP AND CONSEQUENTLY ALLOW THINGS TO GET OUT OF CONTROL.
IT SHOULDN'T COME DOWN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ACTING AS WATCHDOG OR THE CHICAGO POLICE HAVING TO INTERVENE AS REFEREE. WHEN FORCED
INTO THESE ROLES, CLUB OWNERS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME FOR THE CONSEQUENCES...and there WILL be consequences.
OUR VIDEOS HAVE BEEN VIEWED OVER 3-½ MILLION TIMES!!!
THE FOLLOWING 2 ANTHOLOGIES ARE COMPILATIONS OF SEVERAL VIDEOS:
March, 2007 CHICAGO NIGHTCLUB FIGHTING at Lake & Halsted
