Richard T. Zalinsky has submitted an application for an alcoholic beverage pouring license for 2 Proctor St., the former Platinum Lounge location. But, because of City Council’s extended moratorium on the Platinum Lounge and Prime Time Lounge locations, city officials are not processing the application. After the Nov. 10, 2013, shooting death of Johnnie L. Benton, 25, at the Primetime Lounge, on Northside Drive West, and with shots fired that same night at the Platinum Lounge, the city obtained court orders and closed both clubs that week.
