[@OddityOdysseys]

They were so much fun to find! Happy Saturday, Jesse! 😊

[@FillingPassports]

I am astonished you don't have more subscribers to your fascinating video oddities. Thanks for your upbeat insight into these curiosities.

[@madjohnshaft]

These are in my neighborhood - and I go look for them once in a while on walks

[@robtman9199]

so many fun things that are hidden under a lot of noses. You just never know what's out there until someone finds it and exposes it for all of us to enjoy, Thanks as always, you two rock!, Stay well.

[@marietarallo3403]

This is nice. I was born in Evanston.

Good place to see a variety of cemetery statues is at Mount Carmel cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, where all the mobsters are buried

[@fumanpoo4725]

Cool murals.

[@MrJojo2go]

Wow still traveling Nice. 👍🏿😷👍🏻🇨🇦🇵🇭🇺🇸

[@huw3851]

Nice colourful idea. I wonder how valuable it makes the doors?

[@Ladybug0915]

I need to talk my neighbors into doing this!!

[@SantosChronicles]

Evanston is such a nice area. Oh wow, never knew about these Murals. We love filming on our GoPro also. Next week we visit your area at San Diego. What was that restaurant you recommended before?

[@OddityOdysseys]

Regents Pizzeria! It's the best. (Highly recommend the Chicago Deep Dish) Have a great, safe trip!

[@JulianHarris-rg2cp]

That is a great use of garage doors. Enjoyed the video. Keep them coming.

[@peggycarlyle6409]

Wow!! Beautiful artwork! Thank you for sharing!

[@seemajamuna1929]

Loving it

[@gbryant261]

I wish you had given us at least a street name to start with. We go back to Chicago every summer to visit friends and family and would love to see it. BTW, Tucson has a number of murals on business walls that are just beautiful. Maybe you could do a video on that. I think you would love it, I sure did.

[@Vitobandito434]

I saw an address was 2306. So it wouldn’t be that hard to find.

[@trapdriver7006]

Excellent video which I enjoyed watching looking forward to seeing your next one 😁😁😁😁👍🚜

[@noahcount7132]

Definitely not your run-of-the-mill garage doors, thanks to Teresa. 👍❤ And thanks to you, Bethany and Drew, for the tour. 👍❤

[@MateoQuixote]

This is a great anti-HOA video!!!

[@arrjay2410]

Kewl!
In Toronto a lot of the back-alley garages have painted doors, sometimes it's graphite, sometimes its people doing it to before the Graphite Artists get to them.
There is an alley just to the south of Queen Street West running from Spadina Avenue all the way to Trinity Bellwoods Park area that has some amazing artwork. It's mostly Graphite Artists, but some of it is commissioned, all of it is amazing.

[@brillblonde6705]

So fun! I love this idea.

[@donutdealer74]

Still loving your videos. ❤

[@rodriguezcomedy]

Love this! TY 4 posting. What GoPro did you use and with what gimbal?

[@johanna7254]

What a fun idea!

[@dtna]

Have you eaten an Italian beef sandwich or a Chicago Hot Dog yet? Yum!!!

[@Hardwareman1343]

That is a MUST while in Chicago. No ketchup on the hot dog!!!

[@njaneardude]

Waking up the some fresh Oddity Odysseys and also realizing I've been spelling Oddity Odysseys wrong all this time 😅

[@yawndave]

It's great when neighbors all get behind an artistic theme like this. For a similar experience, when you get back to California, consider a trip to Florence Avenue in Sebastopol. Until next time, happy trails!

[@Steven-kz3zx]

Love you guys and your videos. Bethany has the best laugh. Drew should grow his hair out again.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

I've seen people theme their backyards. For example Tiki. I've never seen a community do anything like this where I live. It's great. I'm sure most HOAs would put a lean against your house if you painted unique and beautiful art on your garage door and fence.

[@levigato125]

Should’ve picked non trash day. 😎

[@russellmohr9758]

If you come through the Omaha/Council Bluffs area I can show you some pretty cool historical places!!..Lol

[@ksquallfangirl]

Clearly not part of an HOA 😂

[@ptolalibertad]

👍🏿

[@danlancaster8412]

I’m curious, what did the gentleman with the trash say to you?

[@OddityOdysseys]

He directed us to a few more houses to check out. 😊

[@danlancaster8412]

@@OddityOdysseys Thanks 🙏
