Grew up the same place except on Bedford. The problem with Three Mile Drive is the housing stock was more wood frame vs brick. Courville wasn't that way and Bedford west till you got to Wayburn / Barham was more brick. Three Mile was always the "ugly duckling" of the streets and it shows now - with the most empty lots of all streets around there.
