Escape speculations

[Jim Page]

Funny about those old barns in the South; some that I thought as a kid were on the brink of falling down are still in much the same condition. Oddly enough, old houses in the same areas seem to deteriorate and fall in on themselves rather quickly when uninhabited.

I swear this is true, but I don't understand it.

I'll bet the Garrett tobacco barn was one of the few Southern barns without "Mail Pouch" or "Visit Rock City" painted on the sides or roof! That's really why they burned it.
