For some reason this jogged loose a bit of memory from childhood days here in Maryland.
There was a sleepy old real estate office near a crossroads in Howard County, and the building it occupied was a converted dairy barn. This was one of the last holdouts of the county's agricultural history. Silo was still standing, as well as a very large barn that stood in disuse. I'd pick berries out back, because the real estate office wasn't open that much, and no one seemed to care if you traipsed back there in the overgrown fields with a few fruit trees still standing and lots of thorny berry vines.
Today the area is one big expanse of black asphalt ringed by a Target store, Safeway supermarket, banks, restaurants, that Michael's craft store and just the typical array of businesses you see in a suburban shopping center. Been many years since I picked berries where all that now stands. I'd be hard pressed to say exactly where that old real estate office was located exactly. I think it was right around where a gas station or Kentucky Fried Chicken now stands. Progress.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
