Ann Arbor’s Firefly Club, the home to live jazz music is closed according to the notice posted outside. The jazz bar was closed by the Department of Treasury.

The club is owned by singer Susan Chastain and is located at 637 S. Main St.

In the notice that was posted, the property was said to be seized. There were no more details available but there will be updates throughout the day.

The Firefly Club has marked its ninth anniversary last May. During that time, Chastain said in an interview that their ninth anniversary is a bittersweet because of the slow economy. She said that she is doing everything she can to keep the doors open.

The Firefly Club opened in 2000 in a spot that was occupied formerly by another jazz club, the Bird of Paradise. The Firely’s first address was at 209 S. Ashley St.

Ann Arbor the hometown of the University of Michigan seems to have a challenge with alcohol. In reading the breaking news, they claim that Studio 4 has had the cops called on most, of all the bars in the downtown area. According to Lt. Logghe the police don’t have any way to make a good comparison of accidents to people. Others say that there are just too many incidents. If they don’t have any way of comparing could it be possible that Studio 4 has a larger customer count too? At least the cops are called when they are needed, but where are the cops in the first place?

This is a college town, with lots of young people, why aren’t they trying to enact a call me if you need a ride type program in this town? Perhaps they should be looking at why there is so much drinking going on in Ann Arbor, Michigan, not who is fighting who. I remember many a game in school when the “away” team would hang around and start a little trouble, just for the fun of it.

Seems to me that Ann Arbor should concentrate on the total drinking problem, and maybe decide to join the 21st century and figure out if the number of calls made to the police is larger when compared to the number of customers that go through the door.
