Feathers ruffled by loud music at Chicken Man

Noise complaints surrounding late-night carousing at the Chicken Man Food Store in Snow Hill was the basis for a spirited discussion during a Town Council meeting last Tuesday.

Mark Nixon, a business owner adjacent to Chicken Man’s West Market Street location, said he has spoken previously to town officials about the hours of operation and conduct of patrons.

“Chicken Man stays open until midnight,” he said. “I think my main complaint is he should shut down at 10.”

Nixon went on to explain that a small percentage of Chicken Man’s clientele listen to music at high decibel levels when they visit the food store.

“During the day it gets a little bit out of hand when I’m sitting in my office and they’re vibrating the windows in the shop,” he said. “One guy rides around in a silver vehicle … that’s got external speakers and that’s just crazy. He turns them on when he walks in Chicken Man.”

I would bet that it isn't country music he is hearing. The problem he is having is occurring all over the place. Hood Rats have no respect for anybody. Not even themselves.

What a bunch of BS. the owner doesn't drive the cars, the owner doesn't turn up the music. but it's his fault?

these ghetto gang bangers go up to thirsty's on the E side with their music blaring and I don't blame thristy's owners, I blame the ignorant jerk doing it.

Well, watch your backs, they are most probably packing and the least provocation will set them off. Again, the entitlement mentality and lack of respect.

Town police don't go on that side of town

Call it crazy, but it's a form of rebellion. If he was playing Elvis Presley you wouldn't complain. But because that guy knows someone is hating how loud it is, he turns it up! Try this, go to sound efx or another local dealer. Spend a couple hundred bucks on an amp and speakers, and follow him back to the hood and blast some Jimmy Buffett.

I can only imagine what Mr.Nixon is going through. Purrrr trash...no respect for themselves, so surely none for others. If they would take a look at themselves, they would see why they claim to have been held back. The type of person needing chicken at that hour would be just getting off from work, which won't be many. If working during the day, they would be home in bed. Good luck sir!

If it was country, heavy metal, techno, r&b, or gospel music I would assume it would be the same response..
