Seen where the city is fighten that teen club kinda maken it harder for them to open it. Is it a good thing bad thing.

Not sure what you're talking about here.

Ever been to one? I remember the old ones in Peoria ( teen nights at the local clubs), best place to pick up some weed or get laid when I was in high school, both were pretty easy. Gotta be the same deal now, nothing really changes.

A teen nightclub called Adrenaline located on the city's North Side is hoping to give young adults from the ages of 14 to 20 a safe place to party. Club owners say this dance floor should be filled with hundreds of kids, but they're blaming incomplete information from the city for keeping them closed. Right now these two girls are the only ones able to enjoy Club Adrenaline. Co-owner Tim Behm says for weeks he's worked with numerous city departments that assured him his club would get the green light, despite not being five hundred feet from the nearest home. "We actually had building inspectors here; they stood on our stage and approved it they said everything was good and they the came back and said later it wasn't." City officials say Behm was never issued a permit. And that noise levels from teen clubs in the city of Peoria in the past has led to stricter regulations. "We've been through this just a few years ago, we've been through the same exact thing when someone wanted to open a teen club and it's just a process you have to go through. That's a part of business and people need to understand that we're not trying to make thing difficult for anybody," says Mayor Jim Ardis. Behm says the process is flawed and city councilman Jim Mo

Yep thats the 1 I was refering too. I've never been to 1 but I'm sure it was like that no more then high school was when iw as there.

Hey there. The businees model for this specific club is extremely interesting to me. I really think that a place for high schoolers and such to hang out is definitely a good idea. The club's success, I believe, will be in its execution of strict rules... Parents won't let their kids be at the location if drugs are readily available (although 90% of high school students know where to get drugs at any given time anyways...) If anyone has any contact information for the owners (Tim and Catherine Behm), I would really like to get in touch with them to see how I can help...email preferrably.

PEORIA — Peoria County's newest club finally opened its doors Friday to local teenagers in want of dance music, brightly colored flashing lights and a bar stocked with lemonade, water and Red Bull.

The club, Adrenaline, faced problems when trying to open in North Peoria in March because of the city's provision banning youth dance clubs from being within 500 feet of a residential neighborhood. The club's new location is in the building formerly occupied by Ms. Edie's Oasis in Peoria County.

Patrons to the club were greeted first by off-duty Peoria County sheriff's deputies, something Dave Hoyle, a detective with the Sheriff's Department, said is not uncommon.

Hoyle, who stood outside the club Friday, said new clubs typically ask off-duty officers to stay near the door, acting as a warning to any potentially problematic visitors. He said he scans the crowd for anyone who looks like trouble.

"If they look like trouble, they're not coming in," Hoyle said.

Brandis Wood, 18, of Peoria said a teen club has been needed for some time in the Peoria area. She and her friends are often without any place to go on the weekends, Wood said.

"There's finally a place for people under 21," she said.

The Peoria City Council shut down Adrenaline at its original location by voting not to change the distance requirement for youth dance clubs. The requirement was implemented in 2000 after numerous noise complaints about Revelations on Willow Knolls Road.

Peoria County has no such ordinance, and the bass-heavy music pumping through Adrenaline Friday was inaudible at the Fast Break gas station next door.

Hoyle said he has a teen daughter, and he typically checks out a new teen hangout before giving her permission to go there. It had only been about an hour since Adrenaline had opened, but Hoyle said he didn't foresee major problems at the new club.

"My daughter already called and asked if she could come," he said. "I said 'Yeah, you can come.'"

Red Bull it sounds like a "Rager!" Teenagers need to be have a place to entertain themselves with music, dancing and a social network! As long as the teenager is trustworthy and is home by the proper time, they should be fine! If the teenager is not home by the specific time, then I would be alarmed! If there are sleepovers, always get the phone number and actually CALL the home ANY time the child is sleeping over(very important)!.....There may NOT be a parent in the home or the parent may be TOO permissive and allow partying that involves drink and drugs!

Ms. Edie's Oasis? Never knew such a place existed.

Redbull that will get them moven they will be hyper for sure.

I think their should be a club for 18,through 20. Most people don't want to hang out with high school kids. We can't get into a 21 club but the club that they just open I think is ok for high school kids. I think if they had a clubs for in the between their wouldn't be so much stuff happening at the teen club. clubs made for high school kids and for in between their would be less stuff happening.
