This ugly and narrow street http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/379/picture002.png where a damn bus is waking me at 5 everyday.
I've got a bus that runs by my corner twice in the morining, and it's one with a pre-recorded voice telling us where it's going. That voice is so loud in the still morning air that it usually wakes me up, and my third story apartment isn't all that close to that corner.
My building is ten stories, the one across the street from my window is three stories, and beyond that I can see some of the fifteen story apartment buildings down my street. It's not in the greatest area, so sometimes we have police helicopters looking for someone, or just people screaming at each other at all hours of the night until the cops show up. Once I was able to see and hear someone shooting twenty rounds down the street from their pistol, but he didn't hit anyone or anything apparently. Not even a car.
