I put out a little teaser in today’s WB about a noise ordinance that’s going to be voted on by the New Orleans City Council on November 19, 2009. It seems that Councilman James Carter introduced this ordinance in October with little fanfare. The ordinance severely limits “noise” from music throughout the city. Every club owner and music lover should be concerned about this. I am attempting to get more information about what New Orleans currently allows and what’s standard in other cities. The ordinance seems to be geared primarily to music in the French Quarter: no surprise!
