Unusual location of the Month: The Cathedral of Junk
The Cathedral of Junk is exactly what it sounds like: a bunch of garbage built in the shape of a cathedral. It was started in 1988 by Vince Hannemann and has grown over the years through donations from people around the city and the world. Today it contains more than 60 tons of garbage. A number of years, the city of Austin, Texas, trying to close it, saying it was too much junk and safety concerns. (The neighbors thought it was an eyesore.) So Vince and an army of volunteers compared with the structure down and put it in code, the page could remain open.
Last month, when in Austin, I decided to visit me because, well, Austin is weird, and better, what to do in a strange city, regarded as strange a thing?
It does not take long to discover the cathedral, and I found I most of the time spent in conversation with Vince, to ask questions, I'm sure he is sick of hearing and just watching people with the Junk play. This site definitely is for those who have some fun with an active imagination
Here are some pictures of the .:

During my visit I found out that a lot of people come here with their children; many were running all over the place and believe play a joyful time with makeup. I found out that this place is very popular with locals, because you occupied your kids for an hour or stay two.If You are in Austin with your family, come here. Your kids will love it.
And if you are traveling without children, come here definitely. You will still love it. I have.
, you can visit the Cathedral of Junk in 4422 Lareina Drive, Austin, TX. Admission is free (donations are accepted), there are no set hours, and it is not open every day. With a set schedule, Austin thought he was a "business" and then he would have to follow all possible rules, so you just hope for the best when you go.
