NEWNC opposes increased closing hours for two local businesses

A large turnout of residents attended the North End/Waterfront Neighborhood Council (NEWNC) monthly meeting held at the Mariners House, 11 North Square opposing a request by Nicholas Frattaroli to change the last call hours at Red Fox, 326 Commercial Street and Extra Dirty, 328 Commercial Street.

Residents told the Council that there is already too much noise generated from both establishments and they were ultimately opposed to the request that called for an extension to 12:30am on several days and to 1:30am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
