expand and the city is on their side. but not everyone seemed to be on board fox5's miguel martinez-valle spoke to some people who are less than excited about the expansion atomic liquors has been reopened for two years and theyve never had a noise complaint so they were suprised when, after requesting to add a restaurant next door to their business, community churches and property owners came out against them... " that motion passes..." atomic liquors on east fremont is adding a restaurant next to their bar... and while the city and the owners think this is whats best for downtown.. . " opening a bar and a restaurant is the kind of development that the city should want, if they dont want this kind of development the city is going to die, again." not everyone in the neighborhood seems to agree... " are we to be changed into an entertainment center or are we again going to be that which we are, a community, where there's churches and where theres

here." their biggest concern, noise, they asked the city to add a limit to the amount of noise the bar could make, the city approved the expansion request without one... " so if noise becomes a nuissance, it is a code violation" the group of churches and property owners who spoke out against the expansion say theyre not against the bar expanding, theyre just tired of the city putting economic development before community needs... " it makes no sense, its like just because its the downtown project, doesnt mean they should wave all things" the same group sued city officials and life is beautiful last year because they felt it violated their first amendment rights they say they try to take up their concerns with the councilmen who represent them, but theyre often ignored... "something very suspicious how the two councilmen, they drew the line here, and they play whos on first and they dont represent." as for atomic liquors, they feel their neighbors are taking out their frustrations against the city on the wrong people...

years and we havent had any noise issues, by adding a restaurant, im not sure how the noise issues are going to increase." atomic liquor is about a block or two away from the churches and properties who complained but theres just an empty parking lot standing between them... they think theres nothing that could block sound coming from the bar, so if the city added landscaping like trees or shrubs to catch the sound they wouldnt have such a concern. atomic liquors has been around since 1953 making it the oldest freestanding bar in las vegas... it was closed for a few years and re opened two years ago. taxi passengers are being overcharged 47 million dollars ... according to a harsh report from the division of internal audits. there's questions on how the nevada taxicab authority is using a fuel surcharge. auditors also
