I have mixed feelings about the LVL closing.
I haven't been there since 2006 or 2007, forget the exact year. It was nasty, majorly skanky!
Our certain late friend used to describe the crowd as "lap dancing sluts and drooling perverts", which I would not argue with.
Back when it first opened (late 1999) it was actually a nice place. We had a couple of gatherings there for DLV 2000 and it worked out well. They had, at the time, a very entertaining floor show. Then the "industry" moved in.
My concern in recent years was that someone in our community who just wanted a place to relax and enjoy a few drinks would be a bystander to a sting or a bust and swept up with the rest of the crowd.
