The Orange Show

From 1956-1980, a postal worker took advantage of Houston's lack of zoning laws by picking up discarded items and using them to create a monument to his favorite fruit – the orange. When Astroworld opened he expected his attraction would draw many tourists, he was…. Disappointed. Today, the Orange Show Foundation for Visionary Art owns the Orange Show monument, the similarly outlandish Smither Park, and Houston's beer can house.
