Robert writes, "Between Mt. Sterling and Morehead, Kentucky, there's an exit off Interstate 64 for 'Farmers Sharkey'. It is here, in this small community, that the home for a collection of antiques resides. It's been a number of years since this photo was taken, and I'm not sure if this place is still around. When I was there I absolutely had a blast trying to compose photos. I want to revisit...someday!"
