I know a few of you in the past have knocked on front doors to ask if you could buy a chair on their front porch? Right?

Texas / Louisiana state line on I-10. Five minutes from that state line is a home with a red orange Herman Miller fiberglass chair in the front yard. Someone please go knock on their door and ask to buy it. It's being abused. I kick myself for not stopping yesterday and saving her. Yes, I personify chairs.

It's on the orange side. I was coming from the south and right as I was about to hit I-10, it was on the left side. It may have even been the last house on the left....maybe the second to last.
When I got onto the interstate, i recall the Texas Welcome Center on the other side (westbound) not too far at all.....less than a mile.

more precise location...
I was on 90 heading North. I think 90 is also called Simmons Drive. Around where Simmons Drive and Riverside Drive intersect...right before the on-ramp onto Interstate I-10W.
Save her...please:)

I sympathise. For 2 years I have daily walked past a house watching a McCobb wood-seat side chair slowly rot away on the upstairs porch.
I've never knocked on the door, because I am pretty sure that path leads to me becoming the chair equivalent of a cat-lady.

You are not sick.
You do not need help. You need a red orange Herman Miller fiberglass chair.

Story Time
I once dated a girl and will paraphrase a few of her statements.
"I think my parents have some type of Herman Miller chair in their attic since I was a little kid. It's one of those chairs with the foot thingy. The name of it is a number or something."
I showed her the background of my iphone which was a 670 and 671. She said, "Yeah that's it." Some people.....

Interesting that
her parents referred to the chair by its number (how else would she recall that detail) -- don't you think ?
Wonder what else they had ?

There's a pair of really nice arm shells on a porch a neighborhood over. However, the neighborhood over is a tad rough. In the past I have done silly things like knock on doors. Dunno. Kinda want to, but I don't need any more chairs. I would just sell them, and I think that would make me feel bad. I could just tell them what they are, but I doubt they'd be racing to put them on eBay.
Good lookin' pair they are.

your call
whitespike: seriously bud, this world is full of people with different types of knowledge....knowledge to design a building properly, knowledge of art, knowledge of mcm stuff, etc. People benefit from what they know. Since you have a vast knowledge of mcm stuff, you should benefit from that, right? I'm sure Joe-Smoe in the nearby rough town, has no interest in selling his two chairs. He doesn't give a cr@p about anything besides wifebeaters and pitbulls on chains. (just an assumption maybe he's a smart, nice guy:) So you should benefit from the chairs and make someone else happy to own them. Give ole Joe-Smoe 40 bucks and say you need outdoor furniture to match your existing. Then jump on Ebay and sell them for primo dinero...reap your benefits!!
The world is a business. I hate needing money but I love having it.
