For more than 100 years, the bells of St. John Cantius Church on the city's Near West Side have peeled every quarter-hour until 11 p.m., the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Advertisement People in the community woke up to the bells and went to sleep by the bells. No one ever complained until a year ago when some new town houses were built right across the street from the church. Two town home residents filed a loud noise complaint with the state environmental protection agency. As a result of the complaint, the church agreed to stop ringing the bells late at night. "It's the first time in the history of the church this has ever happened," the Rev. Al Temari said. "No one's ever complained before."
