"I wonder why residents must telephone the police at 1 or 2 in the morning to get loud parties stopped when numerous police cars leave the station at Albert and Erb at all hours of the night and drive by the parties when, "Considering that there‘s two universities here, the music scene here for people who want to see live shows really sucks," Dabin agrees, echoing an oftâ€"heard sentiâ€" ment among music followers in this city.
