Road miles

A person who-by the look of their face and sound of their voice- has lived some hard years and looks much older than they really are. Tired. Worn out. Used.

Make up most of the major east-west roads of Detroit's northern suburbs. The miles are measured going north from the intersection of Woodward & Michigan in Detroit. They include the infamous 8 Mile Road, the dividing line between Detroit's generally wealthy suburbs and more impoverished inner city. The mile roads are numbered up to 37.
