Flophouze is a recycled shipping containers hotel that I visited June 27-29th.

El Cosmico is a short term rental/event location that caught my attention as they were building the site in 2009. They have trailer rehabs [airstream/silver streak types], yurts, teepees, tents, campsites, and a variety of other interesting shelters.

A car free community being built in Tempe, AZ I toured on Saturday the 24th.

Hitting the road at 4am. Going to Tempe Arizona to visit dear friends and tour CULDESAC!

It all begins with an idea.
