Actually, my neighborhood is a large apartment complex, on a rather busy, sometimes noisy street. But, I don't even hear the big trucks downshifting anymore, much in the same way as residents of Roxbury and Dorchester don't hear the gunfire, and residents of South Boston don't even hear the drunken fistfights. (more cynicsm. Guess I'm on a roll. )
