Dallas Boat House

Found a cool looking place on google earth, a couple of old buildings and thousands of boats scattered about the land scape. So, I went there for a visit, GE is old as you know. unfortunately most of the property had been torn down and cleaned up, only one structure remained. I would have climbed into the house but it was all up on rickity looking stilts.

Its called Roosevelt Heights it was a poor black neighborhood that kept getting flooded.

The thousands of boats (more like 50 or 60) belonged to an old guy that ran a boat salvage yard, until the big flood washed all his inventory down White Rock Creek.

heres what it looked like before the clean up

Hey thanx for the history, I was planning on going back there for another look. I did go back to Google Earth to see the boats and while I was exaggerating with thousands, I did stop counting boats after I got to 200!
