^very true. Didn't think about noise ordinances. Attracting an after work crowd would probably work better on a Friday but live and learn right? Overall I thought it was a good first try.

Excuse my ignorance but what is the purpose of having a noise ordinance in this section of downtown? Who are they trying to protect?

people who live downtown and also work on weekdays....that said, an 11pm cutoff would be reasonable.

Couldn't they designate areas of downtown that are excempt (the party district) ? There are enough areas where probably no-one is living.

except for the fact that the Berkman condos and the Churchwell Lofts ware located within the Elbow area.  Most cities limit outdoor noise levels on weeknights after 11 or 12, even in entertainment areas
