This 23 second audio excerpt is from a brief visit to Earl’s Beer and Cheese over the recent holiday weekend, when there were only 10 people inside, including 2 staff.

Listen to it here:

Imagine what it will sound like when they have 5-10 times that number of people out in the backyard, drinking, clinking glasses, smoking, with the music so loud Earl’s 50-100 customers will be shouting over it  just to be heard.

Of course, you will hear them clearly in the backyard of 1259 Park, outside your window, till 2 AM every night…the noise will echo gainst the brick and masonry walls of all our buildings.

Think the ambulances sirens and Metro North train whistles are distracting?…
