Wow! You must have the most sensitive hearing in the world if you can hear the train whistles over by 301 and the noise from the Turnpike!

Seriously, ignore this. Moved to Monarch Grove this summer and have never heard blasting from the quarry down off CR 470 (and my understanding is they only do this once a month anyway.) Unless you buy a house visible to the turnpike you won't be bothered by the noise either.

And I am 3.5 miles from shopping center next to Rohan Rec and 5.5 miles from all the new shopping across from Pinellas Plaza.

And this is the area if you want walking trails!
