“Many moons ago I lived in Bellbrook when it had only 1 traffic light. My home was a custom ranch adjacent to Sugarcreek Reserve - very quiet & peaceful.
It’s a massive traffic jam now, relatively speaking.”

That is bizarre. Many years ago, I also lived next to the Reserve in Bellbrook in a ranch home. I only went to Bellbrook my Junior and Senior year of high school. However, I loved to run through the reserve and check out the two 500 year old trees that were growing in the reserve. Unfortunately, the town has grown like crazy since then.

My house was at the end of Tennyson - just south of Linda. The swim club was one block over from me.

I loved that house - double front doors, large slate foyer, sunken living room. We had a HUGE calico cat that would go hunting at night in the reserve - I named him Zonker. I hate cats but the Z-man was cool. Anyway, if my wife and I were sitting on our back patio, Zonker would inevitably bring back the birds he killed and deposited them at our feet...like his trophies.

Sadly, my wife lost a battle with breast cancer at 28 and, because we chose experimental drugs due to the initial dire prognosis, I was forced to sell the house to pay the uninsured medical costs.

Still, some good memories from that house and time...
