Once called Dream, “Love the Club” (Marc Barnes, Owner) is where the young people have fun. Calling this place just a club is an understatement. Four floors of excitement makes this building an arena of sorts for the young and young hearted to have the time of their lives. Not only do young people indulge in the club they also make it successful. Rumors have been surfacing about the indefinite closing of the club. Articles all over the web along with news stations have been claiming of the mega club coming to a close. This is not true!
The rumors started after the club closed for the weekend because of an altercation inside the club during the New Year’s celebration for 2010. Many patrons were upset because that weekend they were going back to college and did not get to experience the club before going back to college for Spring 2010. Being closed another three weeks after that, even more rumors started to make its way to the surface. Sources say that the club had done everything in its power to prevent the incident and did exactly what it was suppose to do after the fact. To end all rumors “Love the Club” will be opening sooner than later!

“By age 14, Damon Williams has built a portfolio worth $50,000, knows blue chips like most kids know potato chips and saves more than he spends. Is this Chicago teen an investing freak of nature? Quite likely. Even so, most of us could learn a thing or two from him. Damon was just 5 years old when he bought his first share of Nike stock, and his story is a perfect illustration of one of the lesser-known applications of the phrase “time is money.” In this case, the longer you’re able to keep your money in the market, the more likely you are to make big bucks investing in stocks.
