Hi, I graduated from Bloomington South in 1999 and lived a mile away from the school throughout the 80's and 90's. I never heard the football announcements from home during that time, so I am shocked to discover how loud they are now, now that I have moved back to the South Side and away from the noisy student rental area near campus. I can hear the football announcements clearly from Bryan Park, from my house in Sycamore Knolls, and from a friend's house in Spicewood, 1.6 miles away from the football field as the crow flies. A friend of mine who lives on Sweetbriar is completely miserable from all this noise. There is no reason the announcements and music need to be so loud, and it is clearly a violation of city noise ordinances, especially after 9pm on Friday nights. More importantly, why does Bloomington South want to destroy the hearing of all their football players and fans? Is there anything that can be done to plead with the school to be more reasonable? 14.09.030 - Noises prohibited. (c)(4) It shall be a violation of this chapter to play, use, operate or allow to be played, used, or operated any radio, television, digital media player, loudspeaker, sound amplifier, musical instrument, or any other machine or device for producing or reproducing sound in such a manner that the sound produced persists continuously or intermittently for a period of at least fifteen minutes and can be heard outside the immediate premises from the location of the emitter by a person with normal hearing. Sound that is clearly audible to a person with normal hearing from any place other than the premises from which the source of the sound is located, when the sound occurs between the hours of nine p.m. and seven a.m., is prima facie evidence of a violation of this section. It seems like it would be a simple fix if the football announcers were to turn the volume down just a little bit, it would help a lot of people, and harm no one. Thank you, Katie Edmonds

This carpet store has been destroyed for a **long** time now. I don't know what caused it, but that's irrelevant. This wreckage is an eyesore on one of the biggest inlets to the city. I also worry that youth (like myself a number of years ago) like exploring things like that and could be injured from a falling wall or something. That's probably less of a worry, but you never know given it being next to the theatre. Is it possible to hasten the cleanup, or at least removal of debris from this location?

Pretty confident there is a person living in an old van on the property in the driveway. Is that legal? People are coming and going all day long. Cars parked in the yard. Trash everywhere.

The house at 2615 Rockport looks abandoned. Construction/repairs was being done on it but a large branch fell into the house in the back and now has a large hole in the roof. I'm concerned that the house has fallen into neglect and is now abandoned. Would the city please look into it and let me know what is going on with it? -Lucas
