KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) Less than a mile away from the Ball Gentlemen’s Club, the scene of a deadly shooting early Sunday morning, sits a retirement and family-centered community.
“The people are so nice and it’s very convenient, except we don’t like the noise that we hear from the place across the way,” said Elizabeth Neff who’s lived in the area for nine years.
“It’s hard to sleep,” she adds. “Actually you feel the vibrations in your condo.”
She’s not the only one who’s complained about the noise.
“After 8 hours of sleep, I hear the incisive noise from Ball, ‘a gentleman’s club’ and that’s how I wake up every day,” explained George McFly.
