I am looking for actual names already in use, not names you think would be great, please. I’ll start off with one that is just a mile away-_The Dime Store_. ---

We stopped at one of several “Maggie’s Farm” dispensaries in Colorado a few years ago. Our “budtender” didn’t know where the name came from. 😉 ---

I (mid-60’s) and my wife (also mid-60’s and not a Dylan fan) knew that. Our budtender (mid-20’s) didn’t. We had an enjoyable time explaining it. ---

Here in southern New Mexico there is Baked Chicken. Next door is a cafe/coffee house called Roasted Rooster. Same owner, but separate businesses. Inspiration for the names is the fact that they converted an old egg farm into an indoor growing operation. ---

Not particularly original, but claimed to be the largest dispensary in the US. Planet 13 in Vegas. I visited when I was in Vegas for work. Impressive. ---

> [@Exapno\_Mapcase](#): > > The Shady Grove (a Quicksilver Messenger Service album). _Shady Grove_ is a traditional Appalachian folk song. It was (& still is) popular with “old timey” and bluegrass musicians before being electrified by Quicksilver and others. ---

Oh, sure. But Quicksilver was a Summer of Love era San Francisco band and was known for drug imagery in their songs. Their first album contained “Gold and Silver”, originally titled Acapulco Gold and Silver, after the pot strains, until the record company said no way. I’d guess most boomers or lovers of that era’s music would make the connection right away. ---
