Is this by chance right near Burton Road in the Park Sideway?

The caller has no idea, I'm going to say yes, because it looks like it's halfway between 353 and 354, and Burton is at about 354.

I did not take this call.

It sounds like they're asking if you'll go check it out anyway just to verify it's the same one and not a different one.
