You will never hear dynamite blasting south of 44, you will feel a 2 second rumble similar to a truck hitting a pothole every 6 weeks or so, I have lived here 3-1/2 years and have never heard a loud speaker announcement, the turnpike is only near the far eastern villages and cannot be heard in the most populous of all villages, The Village of Fenney. The closest train track is west of 301 so I have no idea where you came up with a train whistle. As far as warnings, there are over 3,600 residents in The Village of Fenney, more than any other village, ask any one of them if they are unhappy down here, there will be very few. They sell 6 or 7 new homes down here every day, 365 days a year and this is where you will find all of the new amenities, lots of nature and peace and quiet not available north of 44. I have nothing bad to say about north of 44 villages but have a lot of good to say about the south. Only people like (mitchtofla) that cannot live hear continue to criticize the southern villages.
