Shot this picture at Freddie's on South First the other day before the police threatened to arrest people if they didn't get their music noise below 70 decibels. (First a warning, then a fine, then arrest?) If they didn't serve food, it could be 85. What? This action has created a hue and cry for the City Council to do something to reverse their ordinance. Neighbors of restaurants (and bars which I guess sound softer even when louder?) want them quiet. I think there are exceptions for downtown, but I am rarely bothered by noise and then it's usually sirens. The owner seems to be a nice guy. He canceled 83 bookings of live music after the police visited. If I stand on my balcony on weekends I can hear outdoor venues, even Auditorium Shores shows. Doesn't bother me but that's what one expects living downtown.
