“about the noise complaint, filed by a neighbor”

What I don’t get about this whole article is why someone is living next door to a bar that features live bands has a right to call the cops to complain about loud music.

It’s sort of like someone living next to an airport not liking the sound of planes taking off and landing or someone who builds a McMansion next to pig farm and then complains about the smell.

It’s Rock and Roll man. It’s supposed to be loud.

I don’t think I’ve ever known any musician, even a classical trombonist I know who would appreciate some cop yelling at him to stop or turn it down in the middle of a set.

I'm with you. This dispute would have been resolved more simply if they'd just tasered the neighbor for felonious mopery.

It has yet to be established that it was loud. No one has discussed registering the actual decible reading which is how such charges are SUPPOSED to be handled.

It was on a weekend at an established venue. Gentrification is running out the former residents AND the established businesses.
