A dog bakery? Now I've seen it all. Would you like the seven seeded loaf or the brioche batard, Mr Fido? The Cathedral of Junk entrance. IT has its own site, but there's a better story here: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/TXAUSjunk.html Austin Cycling Association Editor Fred Meredith, Nancy Meredith, and Ransom, Fred's buddy, escorted me to the Cathedral of Junk. Though city engineers have found the structure to be sound (much to the chagrin of the yuppies next door apparently) it is wise to keep your helmet on, lest you be brained by a falling bakelite cherub.... A candleabra of bottles.

Fred Meredith framed by junk. Stairway to dumpster dive heaven. New life flourishes on the old and dead .. If this had a name on it like Rauschenberg we'd be admiring it over a glass of chardonnay and canapes ... The Russian influence on the east wing is clear. The fan on top actually spins.

Ransom called this study "Broken Records". A tower fit for a hi-tech Czar... That's an entire bicycle wedged under that portcullis, said Fred. A Raleigh, apparently. A tire used as a mold for a step... Imagine the backslapping when archaeologists uunearth these fossils in 5000 AD ...
