When Inksmith & Rogers Tattooist Studio moved into its new location on Park Street they revitalized the structure and added new security lighting behind the building. That night when the new lights came on Richard Ceriello, who lives directly behind the building, realized something had drastically changed. He said the light came right into his bedroom, flooded the entire interior of his house.

He said, "At first I was thinking, should I build my fence to 15 feet, plant fast growing bamboo and black out my windows! I contemplated hiring a mediator to work with these new property owners. Finally, I just decided to walk around the block to Park Street and talk to them. I knocked on the door and was greeted by Angelo Miller, one of the partners. I introduced myself to him followed by, "I want to talk to you about your new lighting." Whereby he responded, "Oh, is it too bright?" I said, "Yes, way bright!!" He was very sincere in his apology and promised to change it out and direct the flood lights downward. Until the electrician arrived the following week, he would disconnect the lighting. I suggested he maintain lighting for safely, but to direct it downwards and reduce the intensity somewhat. He was very receptive to being a good neighbor and meeting me half way. We became fast friends and I fully believe he and the rest of the crew of Inksmith and Rogers deserves the Good Neighbor Award."

We do also.
