-- TORONTO STAR: Fed up with lakefront noise? Just deal with it
Pages (3): « 1 2 [3]
the letter of the day from the toronto sun sums up the difference between this generation of islanders and those that came before them.
Quite the difference. So TO island used to be quite the noisy and happening place for young people? Hmmm so i guess the "generations" excuse isnt valid then. It never really was IMO but i think this puts the nail in that coffin.
I can't wait to hear the whine during the upcoming wakestock!!

| Island used to be a lot of fun Thank you, Christina Blizzard. Finally somebody has got the Islanders' number ("Good life on the island," July 28). My grandparents lived on Hanlan's Point until the city decided to boot them off. The island back then was a lot of fun, like a little town -- Manitou and Pearson hotels on Centre island, grocery stores, hardware stores. We also had Percy the milkman and bread delivery by Harry. Now all you have on the island are a bunch of snotty jerks who think they own the place. Years ago, when you went to Ward's Island, everybody's house was open to you and you were welcomed in for a beer or two. It was always a good time. We even had good dances at the Ward's Island clubhouse in the summer and winter dances at the Algonquin Clubhouse. I can tell you one thing, if The Docks were there back then, half the Islanders would have been over there partying. Janet Kay Brighton |
My 2 sense...
On Saturday I helped reshingle a roof for about 12 hours and had to go back bright and early sunday morning,,, when I got home to my normally peaceful suburb neighbourhood Saturday evening, I was greeted by blaring music from my newest neighbours home...
When I got out of my car all I could think was, "WHAT A PARTY!" It looked like Gangsta Rap Music Video MEETS The Fast and The Furious... I looked around and their were sweet rides parked everywhere, double parked, parked on 45's, blocking driveways, and most of them had passengers in them with beats absolutely cranked... no one was listening to the same song,,, and it was all trumped by the massive reggae setup in the new neighbours garage...
Do you have a picture of the scene I'm describing??
It's about 10:15pm... I'm exhausted, I shovel some lukewarm leftovers into my body without chewing... I realize that the pictures on my wall ARE vibrating with the mish-mash of beats coming from the various sources... All I can think is "I cannot believe the other neighbours havent complained." My neighbours might put up with a good ol' fashoined hoedown, but not the Tupac MEETS Shabba that was on cue for the evening...
I cannot explain how exhausted I was... to all you roofers out there... BIG UP!!
But no matter how sleepy I was the bass was pounding right through me... I could not drift off into slumber... I thought about going over to join them, but my legs had stopped moving... The music stopped at 1:10am... I fell asleep at 1:11am!
Many of you know why I didn't complain, but for those of you reading these forums to catch up on the common sense side of the issue; here goes...
My neighbour and 50 to 100 of his friends were having a summer party, maybe even his housewarming party, and I'm gonna make a call to disrupt his event... NO FUCKING WAY!! And although my neighbourhood is normally quiet as a church on a friday night, it was not his fault that I had a long hard day of physical labour... It's called urban living, and the tolerance I have for my neighbours partying, would be much higher if I lived smack downtown, or across a small body of water that faces smack downtown... As it's been said many times if you want to live in peace and tranquility don't choose to live in or around an urban centre. If you do choose to live there, then APPRECIATE the quiet moments you do get, the gorgeous sunrises, and sunsets, and deal with the background noise when it is evident.
Jayx1 referred to the tradeoffs involved with urban living and in my opinion the people living on the island have a sweetheart deal that is almost shameful... If I lived there, I would be thankful of everything surrounding me, because it all adds to the beauty of that spot! Once the islanders realize how lucky they are, the complaints will vanish.

oh dear - and then there really would be a rally!
