Hillbilly Hideaway.


So my dad sends me this JPEG of Garth Brook's new house in Owasso, Oklahoma. I am going to guess this monstrousity is over 20,000 square feet. When I lived there Owasso was mostly open fields and a tiny little town. The most eventful thing that happened there was when S.E. Hinton and crew rolled into town to film The Outsiders. Pretty cool. My middle school is in it.

Back to the point, who designed this mess? It looks like about 15 catalog tract homes stacked on top of each other. And they are definitely keeping with the Oklahoma landscape aesthetic of burnt grass. Nice.
