The Looney Bin (Barn)

May
24

From the files of Suzanne’s Fetish With Old Barns… Isn’t this a pretty barn, all smothered in foliage?

I found this barn located along a narrow country backroad in Looneyville, West Virgina, about ten minutes from where our farm is. Yes, there is a town called Looneyville. Looney is an old family name around here. Wouldn’t you love to be a kid with the last name of Looney? There is a Looney cemetery near here, which is oddly NOT in Looneyville. Looneyville has a post office–a tiny unmanned building on a corner where a main road crosses the country road where I found this barn.

There used to be an asylum here, but oddly it too was not in Looneyville…. :lol:
