  Look lady if you turn up your music too loud and bother your neighbors we will send the Mesa cops over and jail your sorry ass quicker then you can say "turn down the music".

But on the other hand if the City of Mesa wants to force every citizen that lives within a mile of the Mesa Amphitheatre to listen to the concert put on by the city of Mesa that too badddddd. We don't have to obey any stinking distrubing the peace laws.

Amphitheater too loud

I sent an e-mail to Mesa's mayor, council members and city manager asking for help with a problem I encountered last week.

I live about a mile from the Mesa Amphitheatre at University Drive and Center Street. Last week the noise coming from that facility was so loud that I could hear it rather loudly in the back bedroom of my home with the door and all windows closed.

I don't believe it is unreasonable to ask that the volume be lowered when so many residents are affected by it. I received a reply this week from Rhett Evans, director, Commercial Facilities Division, who said, "The shows held this past week (although loud) were both in compliance."

I just don't find this an acceptable solution to this problem. If you are affected by this, please let your city officials know about it.
