Most cities have small remaining patches of land where an earlier rural look still shows up. McLean, Virginia, one of the richest cities in the country, still has spots like that and 20 years ago there were more of them. The cabin in this picture was a "country in the city" type of place. It was not a residence but a craft shop where you could buy "wooly" (should be "woolly" but it's still soft and warm) handmade knitted things. I may have visited it once or twice but never bought anything there. It was inevitable that "Wooly Knits" would succumb to urban development and a few years later, it did. The old trees and cabin were razed and they built a super-expensive apartment block there.
