Museum of Homo-Say

Museum of Homo-Say Peeons

This place recently added a sign indicating that the official name of the attraction is the "Museum of Homo-Say 'Peeons.'" Things are always being added/changed here, and the attraction is still on display year-round.

The sign might name only one part of this sprawling display of outdoor weirdness. Other signs include "San Diego Air & Space Museum" and "Island of Misfit Toys."

Pirate yard.

Folk Art House

This house used to have seasonal folk art decorations out front, but since the pandemic started, they appear to have gone all-in with year-round decorations that mash up different seasonal themes with other themes, such as Disneyland, aliens, politics, etc. Things are always changing here, so there's always something new to see. Best to view from the street and not disturb the residents.
