That's what I thought too! Sounds like it is a few furlongs or whatever from Downton Abbey . . . well, don't it?
(in fact it's in Missouri . . . yes: I couldn't resist doing some research. =)

(back whar' i done come from, there was a hill--possibly more of a knoll--overlooking a power plant lake with a flagpole and a couple of old, rusting cannons. it was a "parking"/"make-out" location for local teens before and after a visit to the Motorena Drive-In Theater. i think the official name of the place was "American Legion Park" but it was known, locally, as Pecker's Knob. honest to gawd, until i was about 19 years old i had no idea that there was a "double-ontawndray" involved in any of it. i thought the name had something to do with birds or something. and since this was back in '65 or so, just after "the British Invasion" i guess it did.)
