Should the temple's early morning bell ringing stop, or should it go on? This is a topic that emerged on social media polls yesterday following a citizen's request for a quiet night and, probably, a nice deep sleep.

The polls were held on Facebook pages following the revelation that an unnamed condominium resident, who had complained to City Hall about the noise of the bell ringing, had won the fight for a bit of peace and quiet.
