Our House, in the middle of our street
Every so often I see old dilapidated houses that were lifted off their original location and are in transit across the inner streets of Houston to their new resting spot. Last night I spotted this heap rolling over the Shepherd overpass on Allen Parkway and bouncing over the railroad tracks just North of Washington Ave.
All the while as the wide load rolled down Shepherd a few bits siding and a some bricks were falling off the house and the cleanup crew following the house were stopping and picking up the debris.
Why not recycle all the building materials off the house and then restore it in its original location, rather than move it around sacrificing its structural integrity as its transported to some other location?

Ever wonder what those guys went through to get into the the States, the ones standing outside of the Home Depot- in the parking lots. Check out Steven Gagnon’s projection vehicle which highlights the trials of illegal immigrants journeys on its rear windows.
Look for his car at FotoFest Headquarters and the Art Car Museum this weekend.
