Village & Vessel — Local services in Oak Park

I live in the neighborhood, and they regularly hire a busker who uses a microphone/full on amp system. Which would be fine if it wasn’t for long periods with a loud speaker system. Today I called asking if they could please just turn the music down a little/he potentially not use the sound system in a residential area as it fills up entire apartment buildings. It’s not accessible or considerate to neighbors, especially disabled ones. They said he’ll be there for 2 hours (in the evening) and they’d turn the music down - I heard them say to each other “a neighbor is complaining about the sound” to which the owner scoffed. They never turned down the music. I will not be returning to this store. Not sure why stores do this in areas where they want folks to be customers.

The review I left is valid, and yes you are breaking noise ordinances. I’m not “bringing up race and spirituality” — this shop is literally marketed as a spiritual shop, you sell overpriced crystals, and appropriated Indigenous terms like “smudging” are used in this shop. These are important things customers deserve and want to know. I’m saddened a business that’s been here a year is being so rude to multiple neighbors who have lived here much longer. I hope you get the insight and consideration you need...
