[Suzanne storey, 02/16/2015]The universal appeal of sucking.
It's a ring of antique Southwind, Dearborn, and various other gas space heaters; vintages vary. An added attraction are all the "irons" in the fire! At the same location as the "Homage To Things That Suck."
[Suzanne Storey, 06/19/2014]In any other yard this might be mistaken for trash waiting to be hauled away!
This is a little open-air museum to, literally, "Things that suck." Mainly vacuum cleaners, but there are other things like a mini-fridge with empty beer bottles. It seems like things are added daily.
[Suzanne Storey, 03/08/2014]There are serious survival issues for any unofficial exhibit that uses plastic appliances in outdoor weather, so interested visitors should see it soon. It's near the Horton Classic Car Museum.
