I missed making my point. It was the nearness of the houses (aircraft

On a regular basis, I have cars zipping by not two carlengths from my
bedroom, some of them faster than a landing Aircoupe. Not only that, I
live at the dangerous end of a "T" intersection. If one car ran that stop

Anyhow, been 20 years now in this same house and no trouble.



I used to live near the end of Greenfield Rd. at 14 Mile Rd. in Birmingham
MI. In the Google maps "street view":
