Well it is the drugs causing the problems plain and simple. If people weren't selling drugs in the clubs, then the cops would have no reason to shut them down right?
What isn't to understand? There are people in those clubs selling drugs. Until said people stop doing this, the cops will continue to do their job and shut down the place.
I Read a few things about the Time Square one but never anything solid enough to post about. But it's definitely a sign of the times that NYC has become more about real estate prices than about fabric and integrity. Even on St. Marks.... They opened a Pinkberry.
