For his part, Club Six owner Angel Cruz points out that he's spent a lot of money on soundproofing, and that he doesn't know of any stabbings caused by his club. (Neighbors claim otherwise.) Angel signed a "Good Neighbor" agreement, but community activist Jerry Jarvis tells us that he hasn't lived up to it. The Guardian jumps into the fray by posting messages of support for the club; but Beyond Chron's Paul Hogarth points out that the Guardian might be motivated by the advertising bucks. (Speaking of conflicts of interest, we should add that Paul's a friend of ours; but we didn't consult with him on this issue.)

Whew. So where does this leave us? In room 406 of City Hall, from 4pm to 6pm, on June 5th. That's when the Entertainment Commission decides whether or not to put the club out of business by pulling its license, leaving yet another empty building in the Tenderloin. So, which is worse for the neighborhood -- deafening noise and crowds, or abandoned storefronts? Or is there a third option?

UPDATE:Club Six apparently enjoys being a good neighbor so much, they have ambitions to be neighbor! Greg from N-Judah Cronicles reports that their fliers have gone up on utility poles all over the city, sometimes several times on the same pole, so good is their neighborliness.
