You will see the label below, a Google map shwing a red dot to the right where I picked up the set and the Google Maps flag where 16931 Schoolcraft Road is. And finally the empty building where once stood Judd Electronic.

I believe (and don't quote me on this as roads in Michigan and Indiana use very different naming conventions) that the name "Schoolcraft Road" refers to the fact that if you follow the road long enough it will eventually take you to a Village called Schoolcraft, Michigan (which is between Three Rivers and Kalamazoo, Michigan on US 131 N.)
But like I said I don't know if that's why that road was named that or not, because like I said, in Indiana a road that was named after a nearby town was named that because that road would eventually take you to that town if you followed it long enough, which like I said I don't know if Michigan followed that rule or not when naming their roads.
Just my two wheat pennies worth.
