About Prairie Village

Prairie Village was developed as a planned community after World War II and incorporated as a city in 1951 (Wikipedia: Prairie Village, Kansas).

Garages here

Smaller and older garages: one-car or narrow two-car garages, sometimes with low headroom that limits opener choices.
Extension springs: older doors may still use them; each should have a safety cable.
Remodels and teardowns: rebuilt homes often get wider, insulated doors and modern openers.
