Was pretty encouraged over Cocoa Beach's improvements over past several years -widened sidewalks, more pedestrian and bike friendly, some new interesting businesses. All that progress has been destroyed with Area 142's daily and nightly wall of noise. Why is the City letting one business monopolize and dominate an entire downtown? No longer can you visit or hang out in downtown Cocoa Beach outdoors, or even indoors, or for that matter live within a 1/2 mile of downtown, without hearing the garbage coming out of Area 142 on a regular basis - Thurs. - Sun. constant. Looks terrible as well - like a combination of a putt putt golf course, Chuckey cheez, and a discount cruise ship. I hate to sound like a grumpy old person and I'm all for promoting live music, but this is place is bad news. Can only assume that the City, once again, put more stock in one entity's business venture, than their residents. If the City made promises to this nuisance Area 142 cesspool, they should either start retaining aggressive lawyers, or break out their checkbook, and get rid of Area 142 ASAP. I would not visit downtown Cocoa Beach as long as Area 142 exists - the entire downtown area is now pretty much unusable, particularly Thurs. - Sun.
