As I sit on my couch awake at 12:05am, trying to get to sleep since 11pm and then finally giving up and having to try to get my daughter to sleep and her just finally passing out about 10:50pm, I had put a call into the Gilford Police department about the noise and vibrations that have been going on since about 9:30pm. I just felt the need to update everyone on the situation.

I have to say I have received some good feedback from the town and they are adressing the concerns of myself and my neighbors. Infact last weekend we barely heard a peep form across the street (the weekend after China Bistro was contacted), we came up this afternoon after work and sure enough they were back at it after the quiet weekend that followed contact from various parts of the town such as the planning board, selectmen, and others. (I was kept in the loop about the contacting) I do not wish to put anymore further about the total details discussed incase this matter has to go further, but will keep the forum updated on the situation at hand to let you know my progress.

I will let everyone know that they received a letter from the planning board about their site plan and how while they were authorized for music inside and out, they were found not in compliance with their site plan and had to remove the fence, string lights, tables, chairs, and anything else out in front of the bldg facing Rt 3 (Lake St) to when I last checked it out a couple of hours ago, they had not. They were advised they would be fined a significant amount starting from the first day they were told to remove everything, so I just emailed asked that the fine be enforce and to have my tonights complaint documented via the email

It is now 12:20am, and still the noise continues after being advised that a police car would go and speak to them about the bass levels. It was quiet for a couple of minutes I am ballparking about midnight till about 12:08am and then right back up to a louder level, hmm wonder why it was lowered for that amount of time???
Well in about an hour their grand finally for the night will turn on for about 20-30 minutes and it will be a constant vibration and noise (it is the same everynight) and hopefully about 2:15am I will be able to get to bed tonight or this morning.
