hooked 0 #1 January 22, 2004 On my recent trip to Minnesota, my cousin showed me this new community called "Jackson Meadow". It is suppose to be a sustainable rural community. I must say that when you drive up to it, it is the strangest looking community....all these odd, perfect, white houses, just doesn't look real. All the houses must be white and with metal roofs. After going to the website, I guess the concept might make sense to some. Notice the house with all the doors across the front......that is all one room, spanning across, not separate rooms. Notice the long building with the continuous roof peaks.....that is a garage for one house! Anyway, here are some pictures of the houses...........

hooked 0 #5 January 22, 2004 That is exactly what it looks like, it was so weird. These houses aren't cheap either, around the $400-500,000 level! It appears to be a very controlled community as to what is allowed. Their are several websites about the community.

Rebecca 0 #7 January 22, 2004 Effin creepy. And don't even get me started on the Feng Shui of that place. It has disaster written all over it. It won't last. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meltdown 0 #8 January 22, 2004 Oh boy, more "sustainable" stuff. I think I'll puke if I hear that word again. I'll try to avoid puking on the white paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #9 January 22, 2004 Rod Serling syas: "Submitted for your approval, "Jackson Meadow" - a community designed for sustainability. White houses, metal roofs, in the midst of an upper Midwest winter. You may think the people there would say they're from Minnesota. In fact, they have becomes voting citizens of the Twilight Zone.'

bobsled92 0 #15 January 23, 2004 We have a lot of homes like those here, in Lancaster PA. This is a Farm based County eventhough the city is plauged with serious urban imported problems. HGTV shows quite a few house in this area (which shocked me). The Timber frame barn house is great for having kids and parties. Main area is a HUGE "great room", hence the name. >Thanks for sharing those pics!_______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
