Kennedy opens new Club in Wakeman replacing Lorain venture
businessman Brad Dicken reports Mike Kennedy will open Kennedy's Players Club today at 5 p.m. in Wakeman after deciding not to reopen his private club on West Fourth Street in Lorain. Co owner Stan Moon cites ongoing legal fights over gambling and zoning as the reason for leaving Lorain and moving operations to 10 E Main St. in Wakeman. The Lorain Law Director ordered the Lorain club closed last month, citing gambling and zoning concerns despite changing the occupancy permit from poker hall to private club.
