The junk art has expanded beyond just MLK Blvd. The adjacent Craig Street now has its own junk art wall forming. A definite collection of otherwise jettisoned materials turned into some sort of art.

The building is visible from both directions of MLK, a divided highway. It looks like mostly old car parts. Interesting if you are driving by, but not worth going out of your way.

Owner Lonnie Flanagan has been chaining, roping, and wiring car parts, lawn ornaments, lights, signs, and random junk to the outside of his barn for decades. He claims it's a museum where everything is visible from the outside. He also recently expanded his art to junk sculptures, which are exhibited in an adjacent field.
