If you drive through Texas, there are random little brick buildings along highways with big fans on the back and a chain link fence around them (still not sure what they are for, though).
When I was little, I asked my mom what one of those buildings were. She said, "That's where they take animals and put them to sleep."
It wasn't until I was **19** and driving past that same building that I noticed what the building said. Animal Shelter.
It just so happened to look exactly like every other little brown brick building on the side of the road with the fans that I had really initially asked about. I didn't realize they weren't the same until almost 3 years ago. Those buildings always scared me.
