Lack of zoning requirements allow Rick's Place to relocate
A resident of the Old West Lawrence district tried to keep Rick's Place from relocating to her neighborhood last night at the City Commission meeting. But there are no zoning requirements that could stop Rick's Place from moving to 846 Illinois St.

The neighbor was worried that Rick's Place could disturb the neighborhood and drive residents out.
Rick Younger, owner of Rick's Place, said people were upset because they were afraid of his bar. Rick's Place will not disturb neighbors with heavy continuous traffic, he said.
"it's not going to be a 2 a.m. plaza for pissing and pulking," Younger said.
Younger lives four blocks away from the future home of Rick's Place, and wanted to move his bar out of the downtown area and closer to his house.
His lease at the current building, 623 Vermont St., expires April 30.
