“Sound Management” in Mt. P

Residents of Mount Pleasant are engaged in a death match over the future of their neighborhood strip. Should it be a quiet strip of restaurants or a more lively, perhaps boisterous, cluster of joints that offer live tunes and dancing?

The people who want more tunes have apparently worked up “individualized sound management plans to make sure neighbors won’t be adversely affected.”

The people who want quiet say that many families in the area are wary of “restaurants morphing into bars and nightclubs.”

For more on this fight, here’s a little pro and con.

    Boo hiss to Laurie Collins. She should concentrate her efforts on the neighborhood where she lives…CLEVELAND PARK…not on the neighborhood she used to live in.

  2. Just asking Says:

    What sort of neighborhood restaurant serves drinks and has live bands and dancing ’till 2 AM during the workweek? Seems like the late night noise would cause less disturbances further for where working people have to sleep.
