Of he’s willing to hear us out, I think we should be
willing to hear him
out. I’d like to hear his perspective.

Julie, with all due respect, I don’t feel like
there is anything to
compromise on. What is being asked of us here? That we collectively decide
how often and by how much the bar is allowed to encroach on our
neighborhood with the loud music?
Also, it seems disingenuous of him to ask us to meet. It allows him to
say that we are the unreasonable ones if we don’t want to have a sit-down
with him. The bar has a long history of noise complaint issues - the owners
are fully aware that they are the problem. I don’t want this turned back
around on us.
I wouldn’t tell anyone who wants to meet the owner not to, but I’m not
interested.

I think that an in-person meeting with the
manager of the music would
be a good idea, especially since we have been invited to do so. A face to
face encounter creates a more human relationship and I believe could help
him understand our point better. Bringing in the law as a first step puts
them on the defensive and makes it easy to be perceived as antagonistic,
putting them on the defensive.
Let’s go talk. He invited us. I think it’s the best method of
understanding each other’s perspective, making a compromise more likely.

Hi folks. Here's what I suggest in getting
attention regarding
Bowstring's:
1. Calls to the police's non-emergency number are not formally logged
and will likely not be counted in any enforcement action. Calls to 911
WILL be logged and an officer is obligated to investigate each call. Do
not worry about calling 911 for anything - it's the dispatcher's job to
sort priority and this is what she or he will do. The officer will show
up if nothing else is a higher priority at the moment.
2. Reach out to our Five Points neighbors across Wake Forest Road and
team up with them. As bad as it is for us it is almost certainly worse
for them, speaker direction notwithstanding.
3. Sign up EN MASSE to speak at an upcoming City Council session. For
the topic, put "Bowstring noise" or something similar. I suggest the
topic be identical for each speaker, BUT make sure each speaker offers
a
unique speech. Mention how it's affecting your quality of life. You
might want to motion to your fellow audience members and have them
stand
if the noise is affecting them.
It is hard to ignore this type of display of dissatisfaction and it's
sure to gain Council's and staff's attention. Tip off the media a few
days in advance to that they are there to witness it.
Perhaps ask that the noise ordinance be enforced or, if not, adjusted
to
where everyone knows what to expect from it.
If you want to go nuclear, you could request the city consider
Bowstring
a public nuisance. Here's the info on that from the city:

Good luck!
Mark
