My father in law was the foreman when they replaced the turf in that stadium. My wife is a Cowboys fan. Have a star from one of the endzones that is the original turf. It is about 8 feet across

it's called RoundBarn. old winery or something. a wildfire came and wiped it from existence. sucked. now it will be an area of fancy homes I cant afford.

There was a similar barn in Media, PA outside of Philadelphia at a place called Linvilla Orchards. I went there as a kid in the fall. Picked apples, went on hay rides got our pumpkins. Then one night in August 2002 it caught fire.

There’s still a few of these hangers in SoCal. They are crazy to drive around.

Ferry service from Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick to Borden, Prince Edward Island. Lining up for the ferry was part of the vacation experience. Now there is a bridge. It takes about 15 minutes to drive across.

Coal mines in northern Nova Scotia. Places like Joggins, River Hebert, Springhill, Stellarton, Sydney Mines and Point Aconi.

Rail lines in western Nova Scotia. An old rail bed marks part of our north property line.

There is the remains of one of those blimp hangers right next to grandsport speedway in hitchcock texas. You can see the huge towers in the background when you drive the track.
