Next on "190 North," Lou Canellis Visits a Viagra Triangle Hot Spot He Claims Owes Him Money

2007_01_Lou_Canellis.jpgWe'll admit to sitting through an episode or two of "Wild Chicago" for soccer moms "190 North," largely because we created this game where we try to guess Janet Davies' age by studying her neck. It's kinda hard, because she's keeps the gullet covered a lot these days; our age guesses range from late-40's to "undead."

Anyhoo, "190 North" contributor Lou Canellis, who also hosts CLTV's "Sports Page" and is an Executive Vice President at staffing firm JobPlex, and another man filed a lawsuit against the company that owns the Hunt Club. The lawsuit alleges that Canellis and Michael Pease bought $5,000 stakes in State & Maple Inc. in 1994, and that they're entitled to an unspecified share of the Hunt Club's profits through 2041. The lawsuit hinges on whether or not the money Canellis and Pease ponied up is proven to be an investment or to cover debts accrued by the Hunt Club. State & Maple alleges in a letter sent to Canellis' attorneys that the $5,000 was a loan and, since the loan is now paid in full, they have no further obligation to Canellis and Pease.

Here's hoping that the two sides can come to an amicable settlement where Canellis has an open tab of Effen black cherry martinis through 2041.
