More news coverage is exactly what is needed. Once the Sandestin's and Cash Moore's (Freeport) etc. get wind of what is trying to be done here I think the entire thing will go away. There is no way they will allow something as vague as this ordinance once they realize that it could possibly interfere with their businesses that are allowed to serve and entertain until 2am.

SanDestin was heavily represented last night. Unfortuneatly they left after the Bed Tax increase was passsed.

I doesn't! Even with a substantial PA system this isn't a possibility.
Actually, some of the heavy hitters from Sandestin stayed for the noise ordinance issue.....I know they are being affected as well by some of the residents at Baytowne and don't want more problems with the countywide issue coming into play......

Does anyone think it would do any good for someone like me to offer assistance to this situation. I have been a recording/technical/live sound engineer for over 30 years and am quite experienced in all forms of audio measurment. I am available to advise, measure, train or assist anyone who is willing to help both sides come to an agreement that we all can live with. I would be willing to do this all for free just to help settle the issue once and for all. Like SJ said in a earlier post, no law without a measurable, defined standard can be enforced or prosecuted.
My wife and I are musicians and would like to begin playing out in SoWal, but this situation is quite disturbing to me. Should I spend time rehearsing and hard earned money on gear to be shut down by complainers being appeased by the WCSO to simply get them to shut up and stop calling them. What is better for tourists to do at night than go out to listen to local music that employs hundreds and entertains thousands of us here in SoWal? Do we satisfy a handful of complainers and in the process eliminate millions of dollars from the local economy?
Does the saying "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" ring a bell?

It just shows exactly how out of touch with reality some people actually are. Even an old man of 56, like me, knows Rap started in The Bronx in the early-mid '80s. They obviously don't know how to use "The Google".

The people I spoke to from Sandestin told me that they wanted the Grayton ordinance passed in their area because of the Baytowne music. Everyone wants to be able to sit out on the porch and enjoy the quiet all night long.
What we need is better shows on television to give people something to do, inside.

The only shows that are going to get these people in side is Glen Miller Idol or the Shush Hour with Librarian Gertrude.
Email them this, it might distract them for a moment.
