The General Situation

My neighborhood, Amsterdam between 80th and 82nd street, is an otherwise lovely set of blocks that's home to a number of bars: The Dead Poet, Gin Mill, Jake's Dilemma and Brother Jimmy's. Their patrons clog the sidewalk, fight, block building entrances, and make a lot of #&*$^ NOISE.

I have been a resident of the Upper West Side for nearly 14 years. Many of us have felt that the noise problems from these bars and restaurants have grown, and it's reflected in city statistics.

Turns out the noise complaints in our area has increased almost three-fold since 2002.

In 2002, the number of complaints to the DEP was 715.

In 2005, the number of complaints shot up to 2,096 !!

You'll be dead soon.
Gitt some earplugs, dear,
and deal with it.
Lord knows, a lot worse to deal with
in the world like ISIS chopping-up
your baby...
or the Don being a philanthropissed.

Nevertheless, trustNjesus, goirl,
and wiseabove to Seventh-Heaven.
God bless your indelible soul.
