I lived on 186th st south. There was a corn field across the street from my house and in the SE section of the corn field was a Nike installation. I remember when they lit off the radars my portable radio in my room would go zweep, zweep, zweep as the air search radar turned.
Later, the cornfield was turned into housing - but I moved from there in 1958 and never saw the field completely filled.
The Army had bought a lot of the land and wanted to build Capehart...
