Citizen complaint of the day: Blinding light of Old Colony Avenue

Blinding light coming in windows from Rotary

A vexed citizen filed a 311 complaint about the blinding light that Rotary Liquors, at the rotary in South Boston, has added that would make a good topic for a song by the Weeknd or Manfred Mann and the Earth Band, depending on the citizen's age.

Light added on the side of rotary liquors is still shining brightly into homes until after 11PM. It is interfering with sleep. Extremely bright. We have asked them to turn it downward and it has not improved and is on late into the evening

The above photo is with the shades up. Here's the view with the shades pulled:

But their version is way better known, at least by non Springsteen superfans.

Me, I'm old enough that "Manfred Mann" evokes "Quinn the Eskimo" before I remember their over-the-top Springsteen cover.

O light that blinds
I cannot see
Look out for me!

Has been revved up by a douche (i.e. whoever installed that light).

Massachusetts and the city would benefit from dark sky laws, to keep lights from shining up.

If the city turns a blind eye to fireworks I don't see how they respond to this.
