When we left our office building the last time, we all thought it would be for just two weeks, although I wondered if it might be as long as two months. However, I thought about the Lonaconing Silk Mill in MD that was quickly abandoned in 1957, has been kept as it was on the day it closed, and is a well known site for photographers, and I wondered if that's what would happen to our building. Fifty years from now, will tourists want to see our calendars and personal effects from the day we left in March 2020?
