A Pilsen community group, along with Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez, filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to nullify a tavern license they claim was wrongly issued by the city.
The Giant Penny Whistle should never have gotten a tavern license because there is a moratorium on tavern licenses along Blue Island Avenue from 16th to 19th Streets that’s in the city’s municipal code, according to the suit, which was filed by the Pilsen Neighbors Community Council and Sigcho-Lopez (25th).
