On a college campus, it is typically the college students who are throwing the massive parties with loud music. However, what I do not think people realize is that sometimes it is Springfield civilians who occupy those loud houses of our neighborhood. I live on the edge of campus, an area where many non-Wittenberg affiliated people reside. Recently, my roommates and I were suddenly woken up because of music echoing from a nearby house. Being located directly behind the FIJI house on campus, we immediately assumed that it was coming from them. To our surprise however, the noise was coming from a house next door, in which a Springfield family lives. I swear, it sounded like we were at an Amy Winehouse concert as her song Rehab seemingly played over and over again. It did not makes sense to me that a house with a family living in it would be playing music so loudly at 8:30AM. But sure enough, it was them because this is not the only time it has happened. My roommate threatened that next time she was woken up by their music, she would call the Witt Security on them. Although, I am not sure what Wittenberg Security can do since the family has no ties with the university to my knowledge.
I know that in class we have discussed how Wittenberg students are living among Springfield residents in the off-campus housing areas but who would have imagined that the Witt students would be complaining about the Springfield locals about noise. Kinda seems a little backwards to me. Possibility for a news story? I think so.
I think this would make for a very interesting story! We always hear about the springfield residents who are causing violence, but we never hear about the ones living in our own backyard. I know there is another family on w. college that can be loud and have kids. It would also be interesting to see what they say about raising kids on a college campus too.
ReplyDeleteI really like this story as well and you can even talk to me -- I have neighbors that butt up right next to us who are really loud, throw parties every saturday, and screaming kids that like to play in the yard. A lot.
