Funny that because I grew up in an affluent area but with train tracks not very far away. In the dead of night you could hear the trains go through. I grew up with that for the first 12 years of my life. Later on, I lived across the street from a train crossing and it took a while to get used to the train whistle in the middle of the night. But it was the only real noise that late even in the small college town set deep in the mountains of Virginia. Here in the city though with the noise, the gunshots - I sometimes wonder if my neighborhood isn't just as bad for that as D'Glenn's with the murder on the corner and robberies at gunpoint frequently right in front of my house - all the people and the faster pace that seems to go with city life compared to the suburbs, much less the rural setting I lived in for so many years, the train just a few blocks away is one of my few comforts, deep in the night when even this city succumbs to sleep...
I lived in Montgomery when I was going to school, but in Patrick when I was home with my parents and later when I was married. On the farm there were no lights for miles, just starlight. The only noise at night were the frogs and crickets. It was an extremely hard adjustment moving here.
