Randyland

IMG_3873

  Randyland is an explosion of color, intricate designs, and found objects all contained in a small courtyard between the narrow 19th century houses that line the neighborhood streets. Randy Gibson, self described as learning disabled and attention deficient, bought the property in 1995 and keeps it meticulously maintained. If he’s not working at his evening job as a waiter he’ll probably be in his courtyard garden greeting visitors, pointing out the best places to stand for photographs, and talking non-stop. Randy is as colorful as his beautiful creations. :-)

   The neighborhood sidewalks are in very bad condition. There’s a good curb cut on the corner of Arch and Jacksonia at Randyland. The main courtyard is accessible but the upper deck is not.

  Parking is on the street but you may have to park a few blocks away.  Randyland  40.45788, -80.00983
