One word; development.  That'll get rid of most of the above in no time
flat.  There were probably many wild fruits in Mary's neck of the woods and
a fair amount remain but not in the cities and suburbs.  There, you go to
the store for fruit.

Or, as the Pretenders put it:
"I went back to Ohio but my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle by a government that had no pride.
The farms of Ohio had been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air from Seneka (sp?) to Cahoga Falls (sp?).
Hey, ho, way to go, Ohio."

I wonder if Rush Limbaugh knows those are the words to his theme song...
