We can\u2019t have that \u2014 Fair Park is not Lower Greenville,\u201d one resident said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, Adam Bazaldua said the positioning of the stage, facing open land, combined with weather conditions likely allowed the sound to travel farther than expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIf they can keep it in Fair Park and keep the volume a bit down, then why not?\u201d one resident said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There were no concerts scheduled Sunday evening at Fair Park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But for many neighbors, the experience has sparked an ongoing conversation about noise, and how far is too far when it comes to large events in the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Later this week Dallas city leaders are expected to discuss the many complaints from East Dallas and Lakewood&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247100,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[93919,2347,102,104,103,93918,5474,5253,93917,5470,93920],"class_list":{"0":"post-247099","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-breakaway-music-festival","9":"tag-city-leaders","10":"tag-dallas","11":"tag-dallas-headlines","12":"tag-dallas-news","13":"tag-dallas-park-and-recreation-department","14":"tag-east-dallas","15":"tag-fair-park","16":"tag-lakewood-residents","17":"tag-lower-greenville","18":"tag-maxwell-stirnweis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247099"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247099\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
