I live along 24 Mile Road in Michigan, which is about 15 miles North of Detroit. The one of the closest places I live to is the Van Dyke Avenue/24 Mile Road intersection. In 1885, the intersection, then called Disco, had formally existed for about 36 years (platted in 1849). I assume dirt roads existed and trees stood freely at the sides of the roads and corners of the intersection. A school house, called Andrew's school house, in another area existed at this time, as well. In 1955, likely less trees, the residential street I lived on was likely a sand-lot and/or farmland, it's namesake derives from the farmer who owned the land. The elementary school I would attend wouldn't be built for a few more years. By 1985, Andrew's school house had been moved close to Disco, and the street I would live on has ~10 year old houses along its sides. In 2008/2009, at the gas station that would become some metro cafe had a DeLorean in its parking lot. I would not have seen it had not my brother's friend's car not stall due to an oil problem. That same friend, like me, also likes DeLorean, but isn't a fan of BTTF, which is surprising (to me, at least). Later, when I would visit my family friends miles North of Disco, I visited their huge house and barns. In one, I got to uncover a cloth over a DeLorean. As I sat inside it, I got to hold and pet my friends' kittens. The car itself was dank and the whole experience was ballin'. Once more I would see another DeLorean, alongside a house in the newly developed area of my subdivision. It was fun, I guess. By 2015, lots of trees have been cut on three corners of Disco, leaving most between residential streets and buildings. At apartment development project that began around 2007/08 after the removal of an assload of trees, and has seen slow, gradual progress due to the home market crash of 2008. 24 Mile has been torn up and repaved at the rate of a snail's pace. 2045, I have no god-darn clue hwhat will happen, I tell you what.
