DANCE FLOOR RIOT AT TROPICANA EVANSVILLE’S 421!

0

Move to the music at Tropicana Evansville’s 421 Lounge this weekend with Dance Floor Riot!

 

Dance Floor Riot is a band with “an original rock twist that will have dancers dancing and rockers rocking!”  A group of St. Louis friends noticed the same ol’ classic cover band rock wasn’t keeping audiences on the dance floors.  But when bands took breaks and DJs took over, the dance floors overflowed.  That’s when Dance Floor Riot took off!

 

Dance Floor Riot crafts their own “Club Music” sound by taking Top 40 club and dance songs and “infusing a shot of adrenaline.”  Their sets include music from Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Kanye West, Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor.

 

Come move to the beat of Dance Floor Riot at 421 Casino Lounge on Friday, November 2 from 7PM-12AM and Saturday, November 3 from 7PM-10:30PM.  No admission fee, just a two-drink minimum for a night of fun!

 

Then on Saturday, cut loose with the ever-popular DJ Shay who promises to keep the party going from 11PM-2PM!

 

 

Court of Appeals Upholds Darmstadt Apartment Complex

0

Today the Indiana Court of Appeals upheld a trial court’s dismissal of Darmstadt’s lawsuit against CWK Investments-Hillsdale, LLC (owned by Wayne Kinney). The court dismissed the suit on procedural grounds—Darmstadt failed to file its suit within the time required under state law. A copy of the decision is available here: http://publicaccess.courts.in.gov/Appellate/Document?id=2af339e4-5f4a-443b-aafa-dcbff1bff5b8

 

The decision upholds the trial court’s decision which found the planned apartment complex was properly zoned on the southeast side of Darmstadt. As a result of the ruling the development company may proceed with construction of four apartment buildings containing approximately 350 apartment units (175 two-bedroom units and 175 three-bedroom units) on a 28-acre development.

 

Separately, CWK Investments filed suit in 2017 against Darmstadt and its Town Council members for violating the Fair Housing Act (FHA) by discriminating against minorities and multi-family residents. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, remains ongoing and charges that Darmstadt and its Town Council violated the FHA and discriminated against minorities by imposing requirements on affordable multi-family housing often used by racial minorities that they did not impose on single-family developments more frequently used by white residents. According to 2010 census data, Darmstadt is 97% white. In 2000 census data, Darmstadt was 99% white. By denying Mr. Kinney’s permit to build affordable housing, Darmstadt perpetuates segregated housing patterns and denies minorities the opportunity to seek affordable housing.

 

The law firm of Jackson Kelly, PLLC represents CWK Investments and Mr. Kinney in all of these matters, including the most recent litigation before the Indiana Court of Appeals which found in favor of Mr. Kinney and CWK.

Rockhurst regained the lead, 2-1, on a penalty kick of its own at 37:37and held the advantage through the intermission.
 
In the second half, the Hawks continued to keep the USI offense at bay and sealed the Eagles' fate with a goal at 76:04 for the eventual 3-1 final. Rockhurst limited the USI offense attack to six shots, two on-goal.
