COMMENT
No
Lander, WY, is noisy. First responder agencies in town run sirens on almost every call. Multiple tornado sirens around town are used to notify firefighters of fire callouts instead of using response apps that would notify FFs on their cell. If you live near one of them and it goes off in the middle of the night, it just about throws you out of bed. It is that loud. And, there is a rodeo every Saturday night in the summer with music blasted until midnight. Same thing with fourth of July, the fireworks show goes until midnight and it sounds like a war zone. If you live near the intersection of the two highways, you get to listen to the semi trucks gear down as they near the intersection (even though signage on the highway prohibits it). If you are looking for a place to live, steer clear of the Wind River Church on Dillon Drive. The church allows a band to practice inside on Wednesday nights and the drums can be heard throughout the neighborhood well past 10PM. The apartment buildings in town cater to the Catholic College and LDS church. The kids that land an apartment either through a Catholic College scholarship or LDS missionary program have very little consideration or respect for other tenants and have parties often at night, to the point where you can't open your windows when you go to sleep. Apartment managers do nothing about it because the owners want the business (monthly rent) from the Catholic College. The same goes for the LDS missionaries living in the buildings. No consideration or respect for others. As far as the misc noise around town, the town needs to do a noise study/survey, with community input, and manage this better. Lander is not a peaceful place unless you live far out in the country. Medical options in Lander are slim. If you leave a message for the medical clinic, they do not return calls. Riverton is the closest city and it leaves a lot to be desired, dirty and industrial.
