Downtown life needs to be diverse, fun and creative. If you don't like noise don't live in a place that is a cultural center.

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

I'm a musician and music lover. Macon's rich musical heritage is being held up by great musicians downtown. Having the ability to have more liberty for the musicians means they will be able to make the much needed funds to continue to refine their art. This sort of business minded progression will only help to strengthen our artistic community and reinforce the vitality that Macon's music scene has; thus, continuing the excellent music heritage we have. Building upon this foundation can and will create a scene that will engender tourism and more opportunity for revenue and prosperity.

It is the right thing to do.

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

I love the music life in Macon. This is history and our future. Keep music alive!

(Gainesville, 2016-12-02)

#621

If Macon is to remain a vibrant city center embracing a rich music history we can not science her streets. Living downtown is a choice. (A great one I might add)).

Silly outdated law

I'm signing because I personally enjoy the music and the noise is never a problem. I would love to see people with dreams of music to follow them. I'm an artist, so let's carry on with the jams

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

#632

I support local musicians, also my son & daughter play guitar.

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

We finally see Macon coming back and darn now some people will end up messing it up.

(Gray, 2016-12-02)

Keep music in dowtown. Music is our culture

(Juliette, 2016-12-02)

#636

Some of the best live music I've ever seen has come out of Macon. This ordinance is the legislative equivalent of a dementor. Let downtown keep its soul.

(Gordon, 2016-12-02)

#637

As a Macon native, keeping downtown alive is incredibly important. A big part of that is the night life, and Macon's music scene.

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

#639

As someone who enjoys going to Macon for live music, if they make the hours earlier, people will just go to Atlanta. Lots of $$$ will be lost

(West Palm Beach, 2016-12-02)

I am a home town Maconite and love music!

(Maon, 2016-12-02)

Local businesses and local artists need to be supported in order to promote the local economy.

(Bonaire, 2016-12-02)

#646

We need to keep music downtown Macon alive! 900 is way too early for anyone!

(Gray, 2016-12-02)

#649

Music matters and the public should have the choice! We are from MACON and often desire to come to events there but coming from out of town means getting there late. It doesn't make it worth our while to come knowing things are over so early

(Monroe, 2016-12-02)

#653

Macon, Ga is Music

(Milledgeville, 2016-12-02)

#654

This is what Macon is known for if you take this away it'll be only known for the crime. If you don't like the music, don't live downtown.

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

#656

Love music.

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

#657

I love my city and want the downtown area to continue to flourish. Bringing in live music attracts people and will drive local businesses to thrive. Music IS Macon's history and we need to embrace it.

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

#661

Because I am a musician and I completely agree with changing the noise ordinance. 9 PM is way too early during the week. It should be at least 10 or even 11. The weekend should be 12 or 1

(Macon, GA, 2016-12-02)

#662

I love music it needs to be available anytime of day or night

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

#666

The music scene is one of the few things that bring people to downtown Macon and I hope for it to continue to thrive.

(Macon, Ga, 2016-12-02)

#667

Macon, GA is my hometown & I am aware how valuable music is. This is why I am signing it to help locals continue to make a living.

(Cumming, 2016-12-02)

#671

Weekend music cut off at 10 is a bit prudish!

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

I love the music in downtown Macon!!!'

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

#678

It's DOWNTOWN. Where you go to hear live music, entertainment, dance clubs, etc. Where else would you go to have these things? If you want "peace and quite" you DONT move downtown. Simple as that!!!

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

#681

Macons just a cool town with lots of music history

(Carrollton Ga, 2016-12-02)

the arts and the environment are economic drivers

I used to live in Huntsville Alabama and this was an issue with our entertainment districts and downtown. People would move into the high rise and expensive energetically district housing, knowing full well that they were living in the heart of the entertainment areas of the city and were systematically complaining about the usual things that always happened in these areas. Not fraudulent misbehavior of any kind. The lawfully sanctioned events that were completely within the legal right to exist. So much so that a city wide movement formed, based off of demanding an allowed noise decimal level within these areas at any time. Even the governor of the state (who is hated by all people who Katrina these areas and events) put his foot down on the situation and decreed that any further complaints on any of these sanctioned events that get noise tested by undercover officers for the decibel level to me within the allowed level, would be evicted from the housing they lived in. So I say to these same people: you are no different from these people and this situation is no different, so you deserve treatment that is not different. Anyone complaining about any sanctioned event for noise and that event ID found to be completely within its legal right should be evicted from their homes. If you can afford to live downtown and complain about downtown BEING ITSELF, you can afford to live somewhere else as well.

I go to Macon every year for the Georgia Allman Brothers Band Association's annual music festival, which features concerts and live local music, and I also visit for concerts held in venues like The Douglass and Cox Capital Theatres. Macon is a music mecca for music lovers from all over the USA and as far away as Japan and Amsterdam. I believe Macon would do well to embrace it's own heritage and let the music play.

(Cedar Lake, IN, 2016-12-03)

#695

Came inches close to opening a Music Café / Shop / School on the beautiful main street Downtown Macon a few years ago. This ordinance is a ridiculous eye roller for Macon; downright ignorant. What's Macon without Music ? May as well shut her down completely then. What would be the "draw" without Music hours matching Bar Hours ? Never heard of anything so foolish for the economy of Macon.

(New York City, 2016-12-03)

we have made so much progress in and around the downtown area. music and art have a life and a part of the continued growth of the arts and the business of the areas of growth. radiating and growing in ever expanding areas. keep up the good work

(macon, 2016-12-03)

#701

I am born and raised maconite whose has seen the great impact of having the music scene revived downtown....it would be stupid to end the one thing that is bring everyone together because a few people won't relocate!!!

(Macon, 2016-12-03)

#705

These business support local bands- which is what macon is well known for! When you live in the city- it's city life.

(Warner Robins, 2016-12-03)

#706

Taking away the music scene (at anytime of the night) in the downtown Macon, or anywhere in general, is just absurd. Not only is it a historical factor of what makes Macon great, but probably the biggest attraction that brings people to Macon. How can you put a curfew on art? Shame on anyone who backs this idea.

(Eatontom, 2016-12-03)

#707

I'm originally from Macon and cut my teeth as a young musician playing in and around downtown. I want to see the music scene in my hometown grow. There is a lot of talent in Macon.

#715

Music has played a huge role in revitalizing downtown Macon. We need a compromise on this issue.

(Macon, 2016-12-03)

#718

These rules are ridiculous. Music is part of Macon's cultural heritage. Support the arts! What decrepit old fossil dreamed up these rules?

(Macon, 2016-12-03)

#719

Music is a big part of my life and the life of my friends. I want to be a part of creating an environment where they can thrive

(Macon, 2016-12-02)

Macon is am iconic and pivotal music community...This needs to be preserved.

(Macon, 2016-12-03)

#724

I believe that live music should not be buried.

(Warner Robins, Georgia, 2016-12-03)

#725

Live music brings the people of all walks of life together

(North field NJ, 2016-12-03)

#726

A lot of musical artists need downtown as a platform to make a living and connect with new people. The law needs to be changed. The times should much later than 9 and 11 o'clock.

(Macon, 2016-12-01)

#728

Macon has always been a music supportive community! Didn't the Allman Brothers used to have Saturday Jams in the park years ago?! A proud tradition that needs to be carried on and on..just look at all of the kids and kids kids of just the ABB alone that have carried on that tradition! Long live live music in Macon,Ga!!

(Lancaster, Ca, 2016-12-04)

Macon is growing and moving forward!

(Forsyth, 2016-12-02)

#736

Those hours are ridiculous. What are they going to try to shutdown next... That's the problem

(Bogart, 2016-12-04)

#737

I'm signing this because I think it's rediciulous to try and make business in downtown Macon stop music at 11:00pm. Y'all, the powers that be want business to come to downtown to make it great again but want to put restrictions on them. Do you think that people who work hard for their money will come to downtown Macon and risk the party be over at 11 because y'all don't want music. I will drive to Atlanta to spend my money before I go to downtown Macon. Hadn't Macon lost enough already. The Macon Braves, The Sports Museum, Rock Hall of Fame. What made Macon Great anyway. MUSIC !!!! Little Richard, Otis Redding, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Elvis, and let's not forget one of the Greatest Bands to Ever call Macon Home. The Allman Brothers Band. So shut Music down at 11p because the so called socialites of Macon is pushing this then we go somewhere else and spend money and will remember all y'all at election time. Macon can't afford to lose Money like that. And what is it said that later it will be amended to include all of Macon Bibb co. Y'all , the powers that be want to build new town Macon , mostly black neighborhoods and build houses, sidewalks, pave streets and spend all this tax payer money and then tell us if we go downtown we gotta not have music after 11. Who is the genius that brought this bullcrap up? Haven't our city co. Gov't lost enough from downtown Macon. What happens if Mercer shuts down the cox Capitol theatre. No more money from that. Look at the Macon Colisrum, when was the last time a nice concert was held there? Y'all better get your heads out of your asses.

Macon is a MAJOR part in Georgia's music culture. In this day & age of electronic music & music education being cut from schools, it is imperative that the downtown music be preserved for the present & future.If we don't fill the shoes, there will be no music in the future!

(Lagrange, Ga., 2016-12-06)

#759

Soon relocating to Macon and would love for Macon to continue it's rich history of showcasing and giving the world talented musicians. It would be great entertainment for the citizens and visitors, opportunity for promotion for the musicians and would increase revenues for the small businesses and therefore, the city of Macon.

(Leesburg, 2016-12-06)

Downtown Macon has always been known for music & to have a good time. Most people don't even come downtown until around 10.

(Macon, 2016-12-06)

(Lyons, 2016-12-06)

#773

Live music is an essential component to a vibrant downtown and the time restrictions would negatively affect not only businesses but the overall cultural scene.

(Macon, 2016-12-06)

#774

I'm signing because musicians need to have places to perform that are safe, and we need to hear more music! Keep the arts slive! Keep local businesses afloat

I am a musician and know the struggle to survive ! Macon GA has some of the most talented musicians in this country and it would be very sad to see it go, PLEASE don't let this happen because it will impact the community greatly

Im a musician. I along with many, truly enjoy the live music.

(Macon, 2016-12-06)

#779

That ordinance is a joke! For a town with such deep roots in music, you should be fostering the music scene, not stifling it.

(Swainsboro, 2016-12-06)

We love to visit Macon with our little boys on Friday nights for music and food. Our family enjoys the downtown dining and musician scene till 11pm.

(Cochran, 2016-12-06)

#789

I'm signing because the city does not need to stifle anymore great things that happen in this city. Music put us on the map and Macon is music, without it, this town fades away.

(Macon, 2016-12-07)

#791

I want the music scene in Macon to grow, especially in the hub of downtown.

(Macon, GA, 2016-12-07)

#792

Macon's downtown has been and should continue to be an area that supports good local music. It has helped the downtown area grow and transition and putting such an early time on open music will be a step backwards.

(Cochran, 2016-12-07)

#793

I visit my home town of Macon often and LOVE the music scene! All of Downtown, all venues!!
