Our area of town is called Uptown. The neighborhood is a mixed use area combining residential and commercial. Pelican Landing Sports Bar / Restaurant is across the street as is Old Town liquor store. The Fountain of Youth is 1 1/2 blocks across the street. The tour trolleys are just down the street to the left as well as the Old Jail. Downtown is a short walk to the right. Pelican Landing has live outdoor music. Many guests sit on the deck to enjoy their private concert. Wednesday night is bike night so there will be motorcycles there which are by nature loud. They stop the music at 10:00pm. If the sound is a problem you may close the french and bifold doors leading into the sun porch. This should block most of the sound and allow you to watch TV. There is a noise ordinance in St Augustine that restricts noise levels from exceeding 65 decibels. Please let me know if noise is a problem and I will contact the police ( or you're welcome to call them yourself at 904-825-1070) and ask them to check it out. My number is (904) 610-5985
