OSM Item 356845407 is a node supposedly marking the location of a church
named "Mill Creek Church", at coordinates 36.0972810, -86.7027754
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/36.0972810/-86.7027754>. The node
history shows two changesets making edits to the node, but no changeset
for the creation of the node. It has these tags:

I became curious about this, as aerial photos in Google Earth do not
show a church there. I drove to these coordinates, and determined that
they are for a loading dock on the back of an industrial warehouse.
There are no signs indicating that any congregation meets there; the
warehouse appears to be in active commercial use. Should I remove this
node? -- John F. Eldredge -- john at jfeldredge.com "Darkness cannot drive
