The revocation is not yet official, so the club can continue to operate. Gregory Vleisides, an attorney for the club's current owners, Eric and Natasha Union, said after the hearing that he would ask the Circuit Court for a restraining order and a review the liquor board's decision.
The Unions bought the club from Del Hedgepath, who owns the building at 220 Admiral. Hedgepath operated the clubs named NV and NRG that were notorious for bad behavior. Under pressure from the city, Hedgepath sold the club to the Unions, who are in their 20s and had no previous experience owning and operating a nightclub. (Eric Union told the liquor board that he had promoted shows prior to buying the club.)
Gary Majors, the manager of the city's Regulated Industries division, and a police sergeant spoke at the hearing about the disturbances associated with the club. The sergeant, Deborah Randol, said Xpressions often demands her attention on Friday and Saturday nights. "This club is one that we go to pretty much all the time," she said.
The Unions described the steps that they had taken to attract a more dignified crowd and to foster better behavior. Under cross examination, they acknowledged that most of the measures were taken after the city notified them that they had failed their probationary period.

totally agree with the slumlord comment!!! I will warn ANY and EVERY person that asks me about this place or any properties managed by Hedgepath
Del is indeed a slumlord, and managed the club situation the same way he manages the rest of the building over there. Very, very poorly. Hes the quintessential do-nothing, collect wealth for self and forget everyone else slumlord. As for the club; it was only a matter of time before a few hard headed fools ruined the spot for themselves, and the other 99% that go there just to drink and have a good time.
if the city shuts this club down all the white sluts in their tight hooker skirts and all black dudes in their baggy jeans on down to their ankles will just go somewhere else. maybe voodoo...nah they dont play that nonsense down there...or power n light...well they dont let black folks in but they'll take the white sluts in a heartbeat..the more skin you show the better... plus all the yuppies n their button up shirts dressed for the office will buy all the sluts drinks and get them sauced up for a good rape session that will go under kept because the news doesnt report stories like that. so bottom line maybe they wont have anywhere else to go :( too bad
Take the hiphop idiot culture out of the picture, and I just might stop in for a beer.
Rap music's only draw happens to be the most violent culture on the planet.
it was time the place was asking to get shut down and lose their license as much trouble goes on down there it has nothng to do with race creed or color the city is just sick and tired of these trash clubs as they call em popping up now they're cleaning up the city by kicking these kind of clubs out its wrong but you cant fight city hall
war like tribal monkeys are the only ones who goes there. O'well there's always the Plaza to keep them from killing one another.
Even if the changing of owners was legit (some seem to doubt that it was) it doesn't change the clientele of the club. Once a particular location has a bad rep it's almost impossible to attract a different crowd.
It's common knowledge that the person that wrote the first comment about Del silently running the club knows nothing about the operations of the club, Especially when you see the amount of black people in the club
