Your Stories Q&A: Any plans to redevelop the old Club 37 in Salina?
Viewer Question: Club 37 in Salina has been sitting empty for years. Are there any plans to tear down the old club and redevelop the property?
Club 37, off Route 11, near the Salina/Clay border, has been closed for over 20 years. Before it shuttered, it was the place to be seen on Friday nights.
Many of our viewers have great memories, spending time at the nightclub in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Now, the once hot spot has become an eyesore of a vacant lot.
The club is still standing, but it can be hard to see from Route 11 because of the overgrown bushes. Those bushes block the building and the graffiti that's been painted on the exterior.
The viewer who asked the question was hopeful there was a plan for redeveloping the run-down piece of property, seeing how just a few doors down, the vacant Ponderosa was recently renovated. That building is now the new home of the Daily Diner.
There are no plans for redevelopment on the radar. For years, the property has been listed for lease or sale by Pavia Real Estate.
Dominic Pavia told NewsChannel 9, there's been interest over the years, but no deal has made it across the finish line.
He said the property is currently available for redevelopment.
In the event a deal is made in the future, the old Club 37 will be demolished for new construction.
We'll keep tabs on this property and let you know if there are any developments on redevelopment.

Trump keeps saying the GOP mega bill will eliminate taxes on Social Security. It does not
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump keeps saying that Republicans' mega tax and spending cut legislation will eliminate taxes on federal Social Security benefits. It does not. At best, Trump's 'no tax on Social Security' claim exaggerates the benefits to seniors if either the House or Senate-passed proposals is signed into law. Here's a look at Trump's recent statements, and what the proposals would — or would not — do. What Trump has said Trump repeatedly told voters during his 2024 campaign that he would eliminate taxes on Social Security. As his massive legislative package has moved through Congress, the Republican president has claimed that's what the bill would do. Trump said on a recent appearance on Fox News' 'Sunday Morning Futures" that the bill includes 'no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime.' A temporary tax deduction But instead of eliminating the tax, the Senate and House have each passed their own versions of a temporary tax deduction for seniors aged 65 and over, which applies to all income — not just Social Security. And it turns out not all Social Security beneficiaries will be able to claim the deduction. Those who won't be able to do so include the lowest-income seniors who already don't pay taxes on Social Security, those who choose to claim their benefits before they reach age 65 and those above a defined income threshold. The Senate proposal includes a temporary $6,000 deduction for seniors over the age of 65, contrasted with the House proposal, which includes a temporary deduction of $4,000. The Senate proposal approved Tuesday would eliminate Social Security tax liability for seniors with adjusted gross incomes of $75,000 or less or $150,000 if filing as a married couple. If passed into law, the tax deduction would last four years, from 2025 to 2029. The deductions phase out as income increases. White House touts impact Touting a new Council of Economic Advisers analysis, the White House said Tuesday that '88% of all seniors who receive Social Security — will pay NO TAX on their Social Security benefits," going on to say that the Senate proposal's $6,000 senior deduction 'is estimated to benefit 33.9 million seniors, including seniors not claiming Social Security. The deduction yields an average increase in after-tax income of $670 per senior who benefits from it.' Garrett Watson, director of policy analysis at the Tax Foundation think tank, said conflating the tax deduction with a claim that there will be no tax on Social Security could end up confusing and angering a lot of seniors who will expect to not pay taxes on their Social Security benefits. 'While the deduction does provide some relief for seniors, it's far from completely repealing the tax on their benefits,' Watson said. Economic effect The cost of actually eliminating the tax on Social Security would have massive impacts on the economy. University of Pennsylvania's Penn Wharton Budget Model estimates that eliminating income taxes on Social Security benefits 'would reduce revenues by $1.5 trillion over 10 years and increase federal debt by 7 percent by 2054" and speed up the projected depletion date of the Social Security Trust Fund from 2034 to 2032. Discussions over taxes on Social Security are just part of the overall bill, which is estimated in its Senate version to increase federal deficits over the next 10 years by nearly $3.3 trillion from 2025 to 2034, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Administration officials have said the cost of the tax bill would be offset by tariff income. Recently, the CBO separately estimated that Trump's sweeping tariff plan would cut deficits by $2.8 trillion over a 10-year period while shrinking the economy, raising the inflation rate and reducing the purchasing power of households overall.

‘My whole financial world is upside down': I'm ‘medically retired' at 51 with $428K in stocks. Is this enough to live on?
I wrote to you in 2023 about wanting to retire to the Philippines with my wife. I'm now writing to you for advice a second time. I'm 51, still married, 25 years now, and still residing in Maryland. My whole financial world is upside down as my life has changed dramatically. The job I was going to go back to after a five-year hiatus lasted all but 3 months as I couldn't continue my duties due to my ongoing medical issues. My wife and I have $7,000 a month in pensions and Social Security, plus $140,000 cash. Can we afford to retire? 'Finance makes me break out in hives': I inherited $240K from my parents. Do I pay off my $258K mortgage and give up my job? I'm a stay-at-home mom. Do I take a part-time job to spend more time with my kids — or get a job for six figures? My mother, 89, keeps getting her credit card scammed. She gets a new one — and it happens again. What's going on? The stock market is hitting records — three reasons why top Morgan Stanley strategist sees more room to run I haven't worked since and am currently filing for Social Security Disability Benefits. I am still receiving my monthly disability benefits from the VA for $350 and have again filed claims for an increase in percentages. Both of these processes are dragging on in time and I'm hoping for a resolution by year's end. Now let me get to our finances. Our family's monthly take-home pay is $4,500 with $4,000 in expenses. We still do not have any debt except for the $50,000 I owe on the mortgage. Our home is worth close to $400,000. We have $70,000 in liquid savings ($50,000 in a 4% CD and $20,000 in a high-yield savings account earning 3.85%). We also have $44,000 in an emergency fund, which I am using to pay down the mortgage, $247,000 in our portfolio (80/20 stocks/bonds), $105,000 in a 403(b), $61,000 in another stock account and $15,000 in a traditional IRA. We also own about $30,000 in gold/silver coins and high-end jewelry/Rolex watches. We still own all three vehicles. Related: We're living in 'end times' when you can't retire on $1 million I am not sure if we will be retiring to the Philippines, as my mother-in-law has passed and my father-in-law is really getting up there in age. I found out that I will be limited in my VA medical coverage and healthcare costs are very expensive there. My wife has stated that she wants to return to the States after her father passes. We will leave Maryland for warmer climates. I consider myself medically retired now. My wife would like to work for five more years and then retire. If I were to get Social Security disability and increased VA benefits, it would be around $2,000 a month for Social Security and between $2,000 and $4,000 for VA benefits. When my wife draws her Social Security benefits, it should also be around $2,000 a month. We hope to find a home in the $200,000 to $250,000 range, which we will pay cash for. We want to live comfortably and maybe buy a small 25-foot boat to fish/crab. I didn't factor in taxes because we don't know where we will retire. It could be South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi or Texas. Wherever we go, it will be close to a VA hospital and the ocean. We are aiming for a 4%-5% withdrawal rate for 30 years. Will we have enough? I haven't factored in Social Security or VA disability because I am not getting them yet. What are the withdrawal limits and tax implications for a 403(b) and a traditional IRA? Any insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your time. Medically Retired Don't miss: 'Finance makes me break out in hives': I inherited $240K from my parents. Do I pay off my $258K mortgage and give up my job? First off, thank you for your time. Thank you for writing a second time and sharing your story. You didn't make any big moves without doing your research, and life changed both in terms of your own ability to work, however ready and willing you were, and in terms of your wife's family and those aforementioned medical costs in the Philippines. Here's the headline from your letter and the green flag for your retirement: You have been saving, investing and putting money into retirement accounts, and diligently paying off your mortgage. You did the maximum financial preparation when you were able to work, and those efforts will pay off in the years ahead. You are also aiming to retire debt-free. That's huge. Your challenge, and one you appear to be facing head-on, is your $4,000-a-month expenses. Because of your inability to work, your task is to exercise more control over your expenses because you have less control over your income (although hopefully your disability benefits will be resolved sooner rather than later). This in-between time gives you an opportunity to plan. The more modestly you can live, the easier your retirement. And here's a secret: You can live like a millionaire in retirement, if you have a roof over your head that's paid for, and you enjoy your pastimes, whether it's fishing or playing golf. Your quality of life is based on having the ability and freedom to do the things you enjoy. Alabama and Mississippi are among the states with the lowest cost of living, while Georgia and South Carolina would have more moderate costs of living. Texas, which does not have state income tax, is more of a crapshoot: You'll get less bang for your buck in Austin or Dallas than Amarillo or Wichita Falls. Check out this MarketWatch state-by-state cost-of-living guide. Related: The reason we have savings is to dip into them when we absolutely need to and live off them when the time comes. If you had zero in the bank, you'd be in a very different situation. Despite your inability to work, you have a lot to be grateful for. That may be why there's not an inch of self-pity in your letter. It's worth noting. Bravo to you for all of the above. Let's just look at your savings/investments: Your investment portfolio, 403(b), brokerage account and traditional IRA total $428,000. Taking $17,120 per year, or approximately $1,427 per month, would last you around 30 years. An 80/20 stocks/bonds portfolio would give you, conservatively, a 7% average annual return, not accounting for inflation. There are no withdrawal limits for a 403(b) or traditional IRA, but you may face higher taxes if you withdraw larger lump sums. You will also incur a 10% penalty, plus the requisite income tax, if you withdraw money before you reach 59 ½. Your required minimum distributions start at 73. However, you may be able to make penalty-free withdrawals related to your disability. At your age, according to T. Rowe Price, you should have saved roughly 3.5 times to 5.5 times your preretirement gross income. And by 60, you should have six to 11 times your salary saved in order to be comfortably considered on track for retirement. But I'm betting most people reading this are saying, 'That's not happening.' It's more of a goal/ideal, rather than a reality. If you end up with $4,000 to $6,000 a month in benefits, and your wife has $2,000, you will have joint annual benefits of between $48,000 to $72,000; the top end puts you close to the median household income in the U.S. A comfortable retirement is roughly two-thirds of your annual working income. Your VA health benefits and zero mortgage will also help. Hopefully, we'll all be here in five years. Let me know how you're getting on. Don't miss: I'm 51, earn $129K and have $165K in my 401(k). Can I afford to retire when my husband, 59, draws Social Security at 62? More from Quentin Fottrell: I'm a stay-at-home mom. Do I take a part-time job to spend more time with my kids — or get a job for six figures? My wife and I have $7,000 a month in pensions and Social Security, plus $140,000 cash. Can we afford to retire? My job is offering me a payout. Should I take a $61,000 lump sum or $355 a month for life? Trading in risky penny stocks is booming. Why it could be a sign of trouble ahead for the market. 'My whole financial world is upside down': I'm 'medically retired' at 51 with $428K in stocks. Is this enough to live on? My job is offering me a payout. Should I take a $61,000 lump sum — or $355 a month for life? Companies are issuing the least amount of 30-year bonds in 14 years. What that tells investors. My brother stole $100K from my mom to buy bitcoin. Do I convince her to sue him?

Lawmakers advance bill to allow digital driver's licenses in New Jersey
Supporters say digital driver's licenses are better than physical IDs, which can be lost, stolen, broken or damaged, outdated, and easily replicated for counterfeiting. (Dana DiFilippo | New Jersey Monitor) Digital driver's licenses are one step closer to being filed in New Jerseyans' virtual wallets under a bill the Legislature advanced Monday with overwhelming approval. The proposal is one Gov. Phil Murphy unveiled during his final State of the State address in January. At the time, he called it 'common sense' and said it would 'make life easier for people we serve.' But the bill — which now sits on the governor's desk awaiting his signature — wouldn't take effect for more than three years. It's also likely the state would have to apply for a waiver for mobile versions under Real ID requirements, which began in May. The state Motor Vehicle Commission would be able to charge a 'reasonable' fee for issuing mobile driver's licenses or non-driver identification cards. Thirteen states already offer mobile driver's licenses, including Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and neighboring states like New York and Delaware. Some states' mobile licenses can be used at certain airports and federal agencies, according to the Transportation Security Administration. The bill also states that if someone hands off their phone to show their ID, that doesn't constitute consent to search their phone or access information that isn't on their identification card. It also requires the commission to equip the digital IDs with certain features to ensure 'security and integrity' of the documentation to protect people's personal information. The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators called mobile driver's licenses the 'future of licensing and proof of identity.' They're a significant improvement over physical IDs, which can be lost, stolen, broken or damaged, outdated, and easily replicated for counterfeiting, the organization said. A spokesman for the Motor Vehicle Commission did not respond to a request for comment. The bill passed the Assembly with a vote of 75-3, with two abstentions. In the Senate, it passed 31-6. The no votes were all Republicans. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX
