MID-CITY As word spread like wildfire that the iconic entertainment venue Temple Bar was closing at the end of September, con- cerns arose among late-night faithfuls over the void that would be left in the Westside live music scene. It’s a sentiment that business partners and newly-engaged couple Alex Fieglein, 32, and Sabrina Roark, 29, sympathized with as the former patrons of Temple Bar took over the entertainment venue last month, hoping to realize a long-time dream of owning a club. Their project — Dakota Live Music Lounge — carries on the spirit of its prede- cessor in offering a place to catch some of the best acts around, but expanding the musical repertoire and accessibility, opening for longer hours and cutting out the cover charge. “We want to create a place where we would want to go to,” Roark said.

■ In September, the Indiana Court of Appeals upheld the 18-year sen- tence of a 73-year-old South Bend man who had insisted that he was only trying to revive his 68-year- old wife after she became fatally incapacitated in June 2007. However, police noted that he had Strange Brew By John Deering not called 911, nor checked her vital signs, nor performed CPR, but that instead, his "reviving" con- sisted of performing an oral sex act on her (which the judges con- cluded was merely the fulfillment of a desire that his wife had long since denied him). ■ Neighbors in the previously quiet New York City neighborhood of Nolita complain about the rau- cous, late-night trance music and crowds at the recently opened Delicatessen, according to an August New York Post story, but with little success. However, 10 of the apartments next door happen to look directly down upon the club's architectural signature, a see-through ceiling, and at least one resident has taken to relieving himself out his window, splattering the roof. (Another of the resi- dents, though, said that when the man misfires, it ruins his air-condi- tioning unit.) ■ Ironies: (1) In September, alleged flasher Patrick Dodenhoff, Speed Bump By Dave Coverly 39, fled after a report of indecent exposure, and police chased him from Atascadero, Calif., south to Pismo Beach, and finally caught up with and arrested him at a well- known local nude beach. (2) As urban Detroit continues its decline, with an estimated 5,000 residents fleeing annually, it is not just living people who leave. Dead bodies depart, as well, at a rate of 500 a year, according to an August Detroit News report, as relatives unwilling to travel to the crum- bling city's cemeteries have their loved ones disinterred and relo- cated.
