    I can guess who was involved in this brawl, the statistics don't lie. They can bring back the good old days anytime as far as I'm concerned. I have NEVER heard of so much trouble in BoysTown in my life in this city. This may be Helen Shiller's ward and if it is, she doesn't give a rats ass about the crime, just look at Uptown. IF it isn't than people need to flood TOM TUNNEY with phone calls about the uptick in crime. That area is his crown jewel in that ward, lose it and the criminals win because those bars will move to Andersonville, where the Alderman cares!

    It's irritating just WALKING by that place BEFORE midnight. It's a trash magnet.

    It's apparent Chicago's streets need to close down by 2:15am.

    Is it really that bad? In the late 90s, I used to party at Circuit, off and on. The crowd was pleasant - the music was nice - and there were off-duty cops working the door.

    What happened?

    @Timothy: The desperation of Circuit to make money any way they can. Their latino/latina nights are a regular cesspool of degenerates. I've witnessed more than one fight outside the establishment, with no staff from Circuit stepping in to do anything about it. It's clear that Circuit's owners care little about the greater Boystown community and pander to the lowest common denominator in order to stay open. Take a look at their calendar and see what I'm talking about: http://plus.calendars.net/circuitclub/. These events to do not cater to the neighborhood residents at all and regularly bring in "people" who don't care if they bring a obnoxious/destructive presence to the area.
