311 complaint of the day: The calliope crashed to the ground, but she was blinded by the light

By adamg on Thu, 12/12/2024 - 10:01am
No lights needed in downtown residence because of how bright the lights are across the street

No need to turn on the lights in one Broad Street residence.

A bleary-eyed resident files a 311 complaint about the seeming spotlights blaring out of a building under construction at 125 Broad St. downtown:

Entire building is unoccupied with all floors under construction. Light shines extremely bright from all floors. construction lights out all of its upper floors 24/7/365 and is impacting neighborhood living conditions. The light from the empty residential floors shines like a beacon 24/7 to the residents living across the street. This light pollution causes sleep disorders for residents that live at 110 Broad at.

Springsteen original or Manfred Mann cover?

He was going to give away Born To Run to someone when Jon Landau told him to stop giving away songs.

Mann also had a pretty successful cover of "For You".

Patti Smith, "Because the Night".

Springsteen & Smith cowrote the song. Different lyrics, except for the refrain. They perform it together with a barband from Ireland:

Those lights are a nuisance but they need some black out curtains. Or will they 311 to complain when sun rises start early am?

I can sympathize.

Springsteen pollution, I can sympathize.

I wonder how this resident would have liked Broad Street in the late 70s when the long gone Cantones was blasting out live punk bands every night of the week. Lou Miami & The Kozmetix had a residency there every Monday night. There were specials too. One Monday, for example, it would be free admission (which was usually only $3 anyway) if you wore a rubber glove. When the Pope came to town in 1979, there was free admission for people dressed like the Pope. Fun days!

I'm glad Clark finally got the Christmas lights to work.
