Thank you, Lauren! I'm not sure the owner's interest in sound proofing holds any water when the primary complaints involve outdoor performances during warmer weather.

Morrison, it has become clear that Bowstring’s owners’ interest lies in reducing the number of citations they receive, rather than reducing the volume or noise for us (to be fair, they are discussing soundproofing). They want a special arrangement with us, rather than just complying with the noise ordinance, so I’m not wasting my time on an in-person meeting. In lieu of that, Lt. Morrison has asked everyone to write letters explaining your experiences with the noise and how it has affected you. These will be presented to the owner/s. Here is Lt. Morrison’s email address: Peter.Morrison(a)raleighnc.gov I encourage EVERYONE to email him this week, and don’t hold back!! He really is advocating for us and agrees that the bar doesn’t get to negotiate the degree to which they comply with an ordinance. It infuriates me that we have to work to hard to get our quiet neighborhood back, but the weather will warm up again soon, and Bowstring will be back to business as usual, blasting us out.
