The Orange Show in Houston: https://www.orangeshow.org/orange-show-monument
The Orange Show Monument is a folk-art environment - a monumental work of handmade architecture - located in Houston's East End. It was built single handedly from 1956 until its completion in 1979, by the late Jefferson Davis McKissack, a Houston postal worker.The outdoor 3,000 square foot environment is maze-like in design and includes an oasis, a wishing well, a pond, a stage, a museum, a gift shop, and several upper decks. It is constructed of concrete, brick, steel and found objects including gears, tiles, wagon wheels, mannequins, tractor seats and statuettes. Each piece of the Orange Show Monument was hand-placed and hand-painted by McKissack. The Orange Show is one of the most important folk art environments in the United States.

King’s Biergarten in Pearland: https://www.kingsbiergarten.com/
King’s Biergarten was established on April 15th, 2011. Hans Sitter, the founder of King’s, started by renovating an old computer shop into a quaint 45 seat restaurant. The purpose was to get a great bier and a bratwurst while you were getting your car washed on the same property. We started with 8 employees, no air-conditioning, limited seats, and a whole lot of adversity in the beginning, but we always held on to our vision.
