It seems some kids (about the age of Penn or Univ. of the Sciences undergrads) have decided to block off 43rd St. between Osage and Pine to hold a LOUD rock concert in the middle of the street. Yes, kids are completely blocking 43rd -- instead of going over to Clark Park to party.
They have been at it for 5 hours, and they are getting louder. I did call the police (the music is unpleasantly loud even though I my place does not front on 43rd) , but apparently all they did was to remove the rope blocking 43rd St. The partying goes on -- as if the street were Locust Walk by the Penn fraternities that have similar outdoor parties with rock music blasting at maximum volume. If this happened ONLY one Saturday a year, it would be no big deal, but since we have just had move in, I worry that this could be the start of a new trend by students who have recently arrived. We just got rid of a nearby group of very wild party animals who had raucous drinking parties on the front porch till all hours. I'd hate to see this pattern spread. Any advice? Thanks, Ann
