What I don't get is why the nightclub thinks it's being "unfairly targeted" by the city?? First of all, if they're being targeted by anyone, it's not the city. It's all of the neighboring businesses and residents. Second, it's not being *unfairly* targeted...the patrons of its club are legitimately causing ridiculous problems.

Detroit— The Detroit Police Department is stopping a controversial downtown nightclub's bid to again sell booze using temporary liquor licenses secured by nonprofits.
LAX Club Hangar on West Adams near Grand Circus Park, has used one-day permits every weekend that were secured by two local nonprofits since opening in July, according to the Michigan Liquor Control Commission. Today is the last day the permits can be used, Detroit police officials said.
"They have been denied," Commander Kenny Williams said of new applications for the special permits.
LAX previously applied for a permanent liquor license, which still is under consideration, Detroit police and state officials said.
The club has become a lightning rod for criticism along with some other downtown Detroit nightclubs because patrons have been accused of getting into fistfights, shootouts and causing severe traffic jams.
Detroit police beefed up patrols and assigned extra officers to quell issues, especially at LAX, but they have persisted, nearby residents and business owners said.
Young Executive Advancements and Southeastern MI Complex Regional Pain Syndrome /Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy are the nonprofits that each obtained 12 one-day permits for liquor sales, according to the State Liquor Control Commission. The permits were $25 each and did not limit the type or amount of alcohol that could be sold.
