It's worth clicking through to source to look at the slideshow. The Bottle House is beautiful.

Agreed 100%

Thought the photos linked here were fantastic, source wins that round.

I couldn't agree more, the paintjob on the house/center is amazing.

I actually think this is really really cool.

I'm a total hippie-commune-lover at heart, but I'm not interested in other people to pursue it. I like that the attitude is something so positive in such a hellish-sounding community. I sort of want to high-five the stinky hippies for at least trying something, even if it's an ideal that may fall though.

And I LOL'd at "Hey Dr. Bob!" just because I can't picture a physician wandering into a crack-shack very well.

This warms my hippie Gulf Islander-raised heart. I ought to show this around the community I grew up in. :)

Forreal though, that is some legitimate 'turn the other cheek' realness.

Huh. My first instinct was to be skeptical, but as long as they're not gentrifying the area or taking anything away from the people who already live there, this seems okay.
