Thanks Eric

I WONDER WHERE THOSE ROOF BOARDS WENT.............. 8)There are structures like this one, out across the Midwest prairies in Minnesota. I am old enuf to recall when the trucks were lined up and the hustle and bustle was ongoing......Sad to see them stilled and empty.........all the Farmers are long gone and some small to extra sized corporation is totally disinterested and has no personality. The wind blows between their ears, just like it does across the flats of the empty elevators...............

From a far differant time frame and mind set for sure. Those days and the people are gone forever, and this old building stands as a constant reminder, to those who care, of a bygone era of adversity and hard work. Dr.C

The Grange gave way to the Board of Trade and the elevator died. :(
Since my uncle isn't around to put in his cassette tape, I'll put in the video.

I think that is an elm tree. We don't get enough rain to keep cottonwood trees alive!
