The creek is famous for the deep and sorrowful moaning sounds it makes as it flows.
Hey let's you and me sneak over there into those people's yard and bother that pickup.

All of the upstairs windows got shrunken or removed by ridiculous brick infills. And the first floor got a '60s-'70s-style brick arrangement with phony shutters.
I like it because it is funny-looking. Personally I never felt like I needed for it to keep on looking the same way it did when it was new.
Do you think we should try to make off with that Lexus RX?

People mock the house by making deadpan observations about its unsightly brickwork: "The parallel irregular jagged diagonal lines of dark and light bricks create an undesirable 'op art' effect."
And: "A 'random'-looking arrangement is difficult to achieve with a 1-to-1 ratio of dark and light bricks. Adjusting that ratio, or adding a third color of brick such as another shade of brown, would have been a more forgiving option."
And: "Gosh it looks like they ran out of darker bricks as they got closer to the top."
Nobody obeys 5 mph speed limits.
If I lived here I'd insist upon having a row of bollards installed in front of the left wall, to prevent cars from crashing into it.
The house was built in 1920 but the bricks idea looks like it's from the 1970s or 1980s probably?
