Many people have been chipping in their two cents to me on Port Richey's noise ordinance issue, whether it's here on Patch, in private e-mails, or in person. Every single opinion is greatly apprecitated. Keep 'em coming! I'm hoping to compile these opinions--along with some additional research I've done--and prepare a new statement for an upcoming meeting.

In case you're not aware of what's going on, check out these links for more information and some history on the issue. Just a reminder, by the way, that this noise ordinance would not affect New Port Richey, only Port Richey.

Remember, all opinions on the issue are welcome, so feel free to speak up!

Here's your weekly live music list for February 17th-23rd. As always, if you have any additions or corrections, or if you are in a band that would like to be spotlighted, feel free to contact me at tcronin82@gmail.com.

Have fun out there!
