I guess it's the boom times we are living through—people moving around and/or upgrading their settees—but in the last year or so Houston's street couch population has exploded. Here is a whole relaxation of discarded sofas I have found while riding my bike around in the last 12 months.
I found this cushionless matched pair in the alleyway near the Family Thrift on Durham. I've been told that roofers buy old couches, take the cushions as padding for their knees, and then dump the rest. Given their proximity to Family Thrift, I think that's what happened to these two. Also their Cosby-sweater pattern makes them kind of unfit for human consumption nowadays.
Skyline view! Swimming pool! Starting in the low 300s!
A keeper, found in Shady Acres. This was one day I wished I had a truck.
A Garden Oaks Shangri-La. Ponder the big blue Texas sky.
Wicked wicker.
Warm. (Squeee) Leatherette. (Squaaw)
These chairs are gone now. So are the houses.
Since we've strayed a bit from street couches, we'll just throw this in here as well...
Back on point, the abandoned TimbergrovePark apartments is Street Couch El Dorado...
And another from the same place...
You know you want more...
And more...
And even more...
These babies really will save you money!
