Club, neighbors debate blame
How much of the trouble around the Boogie takes place because of the Boogie depends on who you ask.

As patrons left the Boogie nightclub around 2 a.m. March 17, security guards and Anaheim police officers hustled to control yet another brawl that had broken out.
Up to 30 people rumbled at the entrance, then shifted to the parking lot. A man pulled a gun. The fight started again across the street at the Chevron station.
Two other brawls erupted - one on a street of hotels for Disneyland-bound families, another at a nearby 7-Eleven.
Then gunshots rang out at the Denny's restaurant about a mile away. An 18-year-old Boogie regular was killed, police and security guards said.
Resort business owners and police officers said they knew it was only a matter of time before a post-party clash ended with a tragic death......
.......Effects on business
Some businesses in the area shut down for an hour or more to avoid the post-club crowd. At least two Denny's restaurants - one by Disneyland, one by Angel Stadium - hire private security guards. Lights are off at the AM/PM and McDonald's.
The Denny's at first just blocked their lot. After the shooting, the restaurant shut its doors and loses about $1,500 each week.
"We'd rather lose money and make our employees safe than having all these kind of problems," said manager Mauricio Najera.
A year before the shooting, the Peacock Suites across the street lost between $80,000 and $100,000 when a tour company pulled business out after an employee heard a shooting as she stayed at the hotel as a tourist."I think the city needs to realize all these incidents could affect their bread and butter, which is (bed tax)," said Jeff Pank, regional vice president of Shell Hospitality Inc., who oversees the hotel.
Travel Connection General Manager Glenn Bonner said, "We just thought it would leave us liable.".......
