Oh, and you can always do some work in Pennsylvania. Here, let's pick
a place at random, Thompson,
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/41.8666/-75.5154

Look at Willow Street against Bing aerial imagery. It's badly aligned.
Look at Main Street. Also badly aligned.
Look at the cemetery west of Main. It's not on the map.
Jefferson, East Jackson, Water, all badly aligned.
Four bodies of water north of the village, all missing.
A little creek coming in from the west and going into a mill pond.

There's LOTS to do, and you don't need to have ever gone to the
place. You can just see it from the air. You can even see where an
intersection has traffic lights -- the aerials are that good.
