I live next to the FDR and I never knew how noisy it was until a friend stayed over from the country. But you know what I can't sleep without it anymore.

I have always lived next to the interstate, and I love the sound. I hated when the put sound barriers up. I seriously was arguing with them about it (picture little ten year old girl arguing with big men in suits... yep that is how it went)
