I'm not one of them. I hope more bars (and restaurants) come to this area. I've noticed an uptick in street noise, but I'm willing to pay that price in order to have more places to go out locally. I've seen this story play out many times and the so-called "community" boards rarely succeed at stopping or halting neighborhood change.
