Lightning can really shake the ground.

They were detonating explosives at the nearby quarry....there where several posts on Facebook about it.

Sinkhole, maybe.....

Seems that the Salespeople forgot to tell the new Finney buyers about this area's unique feature. This blasting should go on for at least a few more years as indicated by today's published request ( Daily Sun, page C6) for the 144 acre rock mine to be expanded into 3 more large areas.
Hopefully this mine won't be transitioned into a regional dump when the mining operations are ceased. Dig a big hole and then fill it up with garbage. Lots of money to be made on both ends!

Knowing what it is relieves the anxiety and hearing or feeling this every couple months is not a problem. i would guess that when the mining ceases the land will be purchased by TV if they have not already done so, they always have plans for the future it seems. vacant rock quarries make nice lakes, maybe this area will be large enough for boating. I like to think positive.

This statement is like "they are going to take away your guns", neither makes any sense and won't happen.

I stated that hopefully it wouldn't eventually be converted a dump. It is not such a farfetched statement. My understanding is that Mt. Morse (also tagged as Pine Ridge Hill) on CR466A and Morse Blvd. originally was a mined out sand hill which is currently being filled up with construction, landscaping and who knows what else debris. That's where the term "landfill" comes from.
In my original home state of Wisconsin, more than 70% of the mined out quarries were/are used as dumps. Several have become Superfund clean up projects because of lack of proper lining, drainage, gas bleeding, and improper materials.

I see that there was a news article about this on Saturday - link below. 101 year old company, blasting 5 times a month and just renewed permit for 10 more years. So, as a potential future Fenney resident, I am curious - are you just feeling the shaking or also hearing the booms? Sounds like it's just a surprise earth shaking for a few seconds maybe once a week?

If living in Fenney in ANY way is not your cup of tea, move here and rent for a year and there will be a new Village being built, away from the Booms. Of course prices may go up, but someone is gonna buy in Fenney and love it.

I don't sell houses, have never been a realtor and I don't know the Morses, but I would like to. Their half brother lives in my village but he doesn't neighbor much.

I am bat-**** crazy about this amazing place and it's wise and old-er people.

We have visited and rented in TV many times over the past 5-6 years. My parents have been full time residents for at least that long. I don't know yet if Fenney is my cup of tea which is why I am trying to read and gather as much info as I can from actual residents. Obviously, this topic caught my eye, as well as another current, related topic in this forum that also mentions hearing a PA system from a prison. Reminds me of a time many years ago when I rented a home on a temporary basis here in my home town that was about 100 yards away from a Burger King drive thru. Personally, I don't think the ground shaking for a few minutes once a week is that big a deal, especially if you know the source and it doesn't do any damage to anything and it doesn't occur in the middle of the night.

We have interacted with several of TV sales agents over the years and have found most of them to be very straightforward and nice. However, I'm a former licensed broker but I have never actually worked in the business. I am aware that there are differences between licensed brokers/Realtors and the sales agents as far as the rules and regulations they are bound to. That's not necessarily good or bad but is certainly something that is helpful to be aware of. In my experience, it doesn't matter, really, when you are shopping for a new home or a new or used car. The one latin term I learned in my broker class many years ago was "caveat emptor" (let the buyer beware). Always do your own due diligence. That means do your research and learn how to look up tax maps and records, etc. Research is all I am doing here. Reading, commenting, and asking questions. I am, by no means, trying to bash TV or any particular part of it. My wife and I loved it there from the first time we visited. We are in the process of packing up our belongings and plan to make TV our new home town. We will be renting for at least 2.5 months while searching for homes.

I hope you will be as happy as we are. I never, ever, expected this kind of joy in my seventies.

Stop by and see us some time so you can look in our eyes and see we honestly mean it.

Our friends back home all must think we get ten bucks for every person we persuade to live down here. We just are happy folks. sigh.

I think it's the local quarry.
