WEST BOYNTON, Fla., Oct. 29 (UPI) -- A Florida frozen yogurt shop said it will no longer be offering live music geared toward seniors after complaints from a neighbor.
The Yogurt Emporium in West Boynton said it will no longer feature live doo wop music, in addition to Frank Sinatra and Andrea Bocelli cover tunes, after a pair of complaints from a nearby resident, one in September and one in October, led to a visit from a Palm Beach County code enforcement officer, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Friday.
Authorities said the shop could face a fine of up to $5,000 for further noise violations.
Manager Wahid Mahmood said the shop is still hoping to reach a compromise with authorities. He said up to 150 people would come to the store to dance and listen to the music. He said the patrons were mostly seniors.
"We're not bothering anybody. The people looked forward to this," he said. "It's not for business but to do a public service. … It's a tough time for all of us. If that (music) helps make someone's day, so be it," Mahmood said.
