I love this place so much. It feels good to see what would normally be thrown in the trash be repurposed into art. The polka dot house is so beautiful and colorful. I hate that one of the houses burned down but the installations that are available for viewing are thoughtful and fun. There are people who live on the street but very few. There are plenty of things to see and easy parking. So, get out of the car and walk around if you plan to go. I plan to visit in the summer or spring because I am sure I missed things due to the snow.
