Last year when visiting TV, I went to an open house on Hickey Way. I remember that name of the street because Hickey was the last name of the former CEO of the company I used to work for. The lanai was in the rear. Low price for a cottage style home (under $220K). The back yard was not large. At the end of the back yard was a slope, at the top of the slope, easily climbable, was the turnpike. The noise on the lanai was really bad. How anyone could relax on that lanai...wow. from the back yard I could easily read the logos of the semis driving by. I sure that house eventually sold. It wouldn't have been purchased by me.
