I scream, you scream...

Friends of mine in East Boston have complained about the repetitious, insanity-producing tune that is played by a local ice cream truck (and they've also noted that the truck comes around later than it should for the young clientele). Well, local officials have apparently heard their plea.

The Boston City Council is looking at a ban on music from the trucks, according to a report on the Channel 7 news web site. The story specifically mentions Eastie, so it is likely the same truck. Though I've not heard the offending vehicle, I have suffered others in the past, so I know they can be quite annoying. The city council is proposing that the trucks use bells instead. Sounds like an agreeable solution to me.
