said that customers are relieving themselves in her yard, that
the band plays night and day. Mrs Layton said she has lived on
Tybee for over 30 years and the complaints have not come from her
or her neighbors, but how many complaints and disturbances is it
going to take before something is done. Councilmember Hughes said

and if you have any problem do not hesitate to call the Police
Department. After so many incidents we can close down an
establishment. If we have to go to court then we will.
