LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Council tries to destroy fun

To the editor:

The parking restrictions on Second Street in Langley are utterly ridiculous. Mo’s Tavern is one of the few entertainment establishments left in Langley. Is the city council set on destroying another place to have fun in Langley? It certainly seems so.

And why is it that one-or-two peevish residents can put their nit-picky concerns ahead of the hundreds of people who want to visit Mo’s for simple enjoyment? Maureen Cooke has already had to battle just to have music played. This is a business establishment that has existed in one form or another for years. These few homeowners should have considered that before buying their properties.

Hundreds of people enjoy the music. Two or three don’t. Perhaps the city council could buy them earplugs.
