Freddie's Place Is Quieted

It was sad to read that. They shut the music down at 9 p.m., and play pretty quietly. I have been there to see a band in which one of my wife's co-workers played.
Looks like the gentrification of the Bouldin Creek area is reaching new lows. They ***** about every event on Town Lake, and now they want to shut down all live music in South Austin. Maybe they will be happier when a Wal-Mart gets build next to their houses.
 
Good God. This is just like Greenville Ave in Dallas.

Hello, if you don't like noise, don't freakin' move there. It's not like this place just started playing music at night all of the sudden.
 
You Serious, Clark?

Wouldn't want anyone to be irritated by the presence of, gasp, other human beings within a few blocks of the auditorium.
 
I wish there was a restaurant within earshot of my house that played live music. Sit out on the back porch, or just open the windows in the house, have a few beers. That would be great.
 
Can I get every young driver who thumpthumps my house when they drive by shut down? I would like that. It happens every day, and every night. And I guarantee it louder than 70 decibels.
We live in a big city, and it can't remain silent all the time for the benefit of some people who think they live out in the country. There are lots of other people around, and they park cars, and make noise. We all have to compromise in order to live in a city.
There are bike rides, there are marathons, there are charity runs, and pet parades, there are music venues and restaurants, there's parades, there's football games, there's traffic jams, the place isn't your 10,000 acre ranch in Montana. Some inconveniences will have to be tolerated.
 
I understand both sides' views. But if a place is zoned for bar and music, and they respect the neighborhood by shutting down at 9 p.m., and keep it relatively quiet, it seems like there could be more give and take than to shut down the livihood of the owner and the employees of the place.
 
Yeah, I can see your side of the story too. And pardons if I sounded a little trite in my last message. To me the bass is by far the biggest problem. And, as far as I know it doesn't count against the decibel level.

Most of these problems could probably be fixed by the bar owners adding some insulation, and reconfiguring the stage to face a different way. But the owner also probably doesn't want to spend that money unless they got some assurances from the neighborhood that they could play music until 8 or 9 or weeknights and maybe midnight on others.
 
I think it's wrong to ask someone to relocate, but if you ahve a place next to there, you're likely sitting on a gold mine. Sell it and move to the Arboretum. Oh, and places like Freddie's is what makes south Austin what it is, thus enhancing your property value. There are solution.s
