Please quell noise nuisance at Defoe Avenue

Published:Saturday | April 27, 2013 | 12:00 AM

THE EDITOR, Sir:

Between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m., patrons of a bar at 7 Defoe Avenue can be heard slamming dominoes with the intensity of lightning strikes, so much so that it is impossible to take a nap, even if you are consuming sleeping pills. Every slam of the domino is accompanied by profanity.

Defoe Avenue consists of town houses. On this short avenue, there are senior citizens, women and children, yet these insensitive slackers care not about the nasty sentences about what you can do to your mother, although we plead with them through the windows upstairs at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Celebration of victory is followed by thumping of the domino table at least six times in succession. It's like a sledgehammer pounding your roof in the quiet of the morning.

Even if you get a few winks, you will be awakened by the constant thumping of fists and alcohol levels by heartless men. The law enforcers at the Duhaney Park Police Station do absolutely nothing about the nuisance.

Lord, have mercy! Our eyes are swollen from lack of sleep! Perhaps these men do not have a 9-5 job, and so they can sleep during the day and bombard Defoe Avenue citizens with their noise and profanity.

DISTURBED AND DISGRUNTLED
