    There's no way I can say for sure what her address was - I just have her memories, which can always be faulty. According to Google Maps [[which still starts 1 Gerald at Woodward), 180 is at the corner of Brush, which is why I thought she must've lived where the Mark E. Storen Memorial Park is now located. That said, the exact placement of the homes and streets may have been altered slightly during the redevelopment, and she very well could've been at the corner of Brush, or very close to it [[or even had a completely different address). In fact, she used to take Brush down to Gerald to get home, although the route is now blocked by a brick wall just south of Victor to protect a parking lot for the small apartment complexes on Gerald.

    She did say that Angel was basically in her backyard. Perhaps her address was 188? Or 178?

    Thanks for the help, of course. This is probably the closest as I'll get to reconstructing what the neighborhood was like.
