I don't think it was an eyesore, to me it was a national landmark. I remember as a kid going to grandma and grandpa's house, we knew we were on the right track when we turned at the purple house.

That's exactly why I'm pissed it's gone. Dude took a stand. It's about time someone made "their property" THEIRS.

What's the point in "owning" something if it's never really yours to do with as you please?

I remember that house from back when I was little. Kinda sad to see it gone. Didn't bother me any, I kinda liked looking at it. And also showing people that never saw it before if we were in that area. Originally Posted by TheRX7Project

While I 100% support his standing up to The Man, I would have hated to have been a neighbor.

I never understood why people let stuff like that bother them...
Maybe I'm just a little more care free than others. So what, he painted his house purple, who the fuck cares. He served for our country, let the fucking man do what he wants. Unless I was misinformed he is a vet for some branch of the military.Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ndegroot2

I can think of about 3 places/house that have over grown grass and look like a scrap yard... What because there houses aren't purple no one has a problem with them?

Maybe me being younger generation, I just accept that some people are different.
Paint your house and treat your yard how ever you want... Maybe when I own a home and my neighbors let there yards go to shit I will care more.Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ndegroot2

I used to think why people cared about stuff like that. Then I bought a house.

He worked for the city, in the forestry department. Further proof the city has more weirdos on the payroll than sane people.

Happy for his neighbors, that guy was/is a phuckin' loon! When you're paying a mortgage, you'll understand why his neighbors hated it.
