I lived only a block from the el, and the station, and I could even see it from my windows. I could hear the conductor announce the station (when they used to do that, lol), and here the trains stop and start. My street was also a bus street, so I also had the buses going past constantly.People would come to visit, and when they stayed overnight would say, "How the hell can you stand it"....and I said "stand what"? You really don't hear it anymore. When I first moved here, all you hear is crickets, and an an occasional LIRR train off in the distance with the horn blowing at the grade crossing. I couldn't sleep the first few nights with the crickets....it was so quiet. Now I am used to that..... |
