Update on Cosmic Charlie’s issues

MNA Board member Shelby Reynolds and Vice President Linda Worley had a productive meeting with one of the owners of Cosmic Charlie’s and two of the club’s sound men. They were very receptive to hearing about the noise issues and want to work to ameliorate the noise. Based on input we had received from neighbors, we were able to come up with a plan of action:

1. Cosmic Charlie’s will be putting up a sound curtain in front of the garage door facing National Avenue. The curtain will be lowered and the garage door closed when music is playing.

2. Cosmic Charlie’s will be monitoring the sounds on the streets and collecting data. In particular, they are interested in figuring out which acts, types of bands, etc. cause the most disturbance. 

3. They also would like neighbors to continue to collect data. Please send dates, times, and a short description of noise disturbances to Shelby Reynolds at reybart88@yahoo.com.  Shelby will be our point person collecting the data and giving it to Cosmic Charlie’s management.

4. Based on the data, Cosmic Charlie’s will plan on future noise reduction measures, for example, baffling. They also plan to use this data when they talk with musicians.

You also may send ideas to any MNA board members. Names and e-mails are in the Mentelle Neighborhood Field Guide and here.
