The JazzMobile is coming to Roosevelt Island tomorrow night, Tuesday July 22, 2008 at 7 pm with the Akiko Tsuruga Quartet. The event is free is being sponsored by Urban America. To see a clip of the quartet link HERE.
What a wonderful program, but what a HORRIBLE location. For those of us that live around this plaza area are BLOWN out of our apartments with the sound and bass that comes with the jazzmobile. Don't get me wrong, the culture is much appreciated, but it would be much better served in the plaza area on the river near the subway where the view and breeze as well as the sound won't travel into the homes of residents.
Here at Manhattan Park we have to deal with something similar once a year in the summer. The management office throws a company party and uses the pool as the venue. There was one year when we had to get Public Safety on site to get them turn down the volume. It was so bad. This year it was much better but still a nuisance. Why can't people a little bit more considerate and keep those parties indoors at night?
All comments are now moderated and due to the nature that this blog is INACTIVE comments left will only be periodically reviewed and approved if at all.
Where previous comments were essentially unmoderated I have grown tired at seeing the same old comments posted by a few individuals unhappy about the state of various affairs on this island. My suggestion is find a constructive and new outlet for your grievances. Better yet get involved and change things if you desire change. If you are looking for time to stand still ...deal with it as it's not happening.

ReplyDeleteGood reason to go out to the movies and get away from the ridiculous volume level...I don't even live on the Plaza and I can't even hear myself think!
