Loud and late music in Atherton

Original post made by whatever, Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park, on Oct 14, 2017

Doesn't Atherton have any noise regulations? It's 11:45pm Saturday night and I can still hear with windows closed the very loud (and lousy) music from a party in the vicinity of Camino al Lago and Monte Vista. I'm about half a mile from the party.

Did you think to call the Atherton police?
