9644 Carls Drive, unincorporated Aurora-Naperville, Illinois. View looks west.

This was my grandma house. I spent several summer here. She has since passed, and this is no longer in use. Back in the day, my grandfather and grandmother ran a produce stand out of the garage. There was a blackberry patch in the rear along with fresh ready to pick collard greens. The Buick parked in the drive was bought new and at the age of 16, I learned how to drive that big beast. Locals from Aurora would come out to her garden of 10 acres and pick your choice of beans and sweet corn. There also was several apple trees and grape vines in the back. That was turned into jelly.
