Answer 1

Wonderful picture, thanks for sharing Mary.

We have a tire shop like you described in our town... blah :(  It even smells of rubber blocks away.

Where I live was once a family horse-farm at least a hundred years ago.  I still have 2 metal shoes that I believe are from some of my gggrandfather's horses :)
