I have a building down by O'Keefe's bar down with a 4154. And um it's uh I moved out of it this uh last fall, and um I could mainly because of the the noise uh problem that we have it's uh yeah it'll keep open until three o'clock in the morning. They have a kind of an outdoor area that they kind of corral uh uh off the street and people all they're open until three in the morning. People go out there's unsupervised and they kind of can bring their own food boxes, they can make you know they've got to bring their own food, it's just kind of um supervised. Uh there's nobody uh nobody's like box card and chicken. Uh I uh my one suggest I mean the three o'clock limit, I don't know. I hope we can go away. Uh I feel I was talking to the chief maybe like midnight they could make a thing where they at least have to go inside and not be outside, and there's like I say the it's kind of uninhibited. So um I think the city is doing such an awesome job of doing so many nice projects in the town. I'm honestly complimentary. Please do awesome job. Um, but I would just like to kind of kind of try to consider some kind of a new possibility on it because if we want urban living, uh we've got it kind of cleaned. Thank you. Thank you. And um, I forgot I had a come on up, come on up. Whoever's speaking. I forgot to read before Mr. McDermott spoke, and uh Chief, are you on the clock? Yeah, all right.
