It took me a minute to get that. I kept stopping at "Fly don't" without vocalizing the "Drive."
Pretty cool.
More precisely, that is the address of the Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City, MI.
I suggest checking out some of the wineries in the area if you're visiting. There are some very good (and admittedly some very not so good) wineries in the region.
Are there many Boeing 727s still in regular service in the US?
Wikipedia says "The last commercial passenger flight of the type was in January 2019."
I learn something new every time I read this blog! Without such reading, I'd have nothing cool to say at parties.

737 Drive Don't Fly
For the life of me; I have been racking my brain and cannot think of another street sign in America that had an apostrophe in it. I can think of dozens of (for example) Washington Ave. But no "Washington's Ave."
Anyone out there with another specific example of a United States street sign with an apostrophe in the street name showing possession or contraction?
I grew up in Traverse City, but haven't been there for over ten years, so I had to look this up in Google Maps. They've relocated the entrance drive and built a new the terminal _again_. It must have originally been off of S. Airport Road, with the terminal building to the south of the runways. Around 50 years ago, it was moved to north of the runways, with the entrance drive off of Bay Shore drive. (The Coast Guard station is still there.) Now it's back to the south side again.
