Now the bar is proposing to change to outdoor service and the drinking/language/behaviors that might be objectionable would now impact the neighbors. I don't think we had that many beer gardens in the good ol' days and I don't recall that the same kind of language I hear today, after people have had a few, is how people talked back in the good ol days, either.

I live a 1/2 block off my Main Stret and 1/2 block from the Police/Fire Department. When I bought the house I expected some noise. I got it. I don't complain about it because I knew it was coming. I have supported my business neighbors everytime they have wanted to expand or needed a variance. I don't just talk the talk, I walk the walk. If someone doesn't want to support their business neighbors they shouldn't move next to a business. If I moved next door to a bar I would expect noise.

I will never again stay overnight at the Inn on the Park at the state capitol square. After spending 4 sleepless nights listening to the revelers going on until the wee hours, I now book rooms outside the area, even when the conferences I'm attending are held at the Inn or Monona Terrace. I surely wouldn't want to have to live next to that on a regular basis and then have to get up and go to work. Would you want an outdoor beer garden operating next door to you?
