Less than two miles away, in an industrial area, sits one of Houston's most curious attractions: artist David Adickes's studio, SculpturWorx. Take in his concrete busts of all the U.S. presidents, which rise 18 to 20 feet. (Andrew Jackson is the tallest, because of his shock of hair.) Behind the commanders in chief, in the same weed-plagued lot, stand his 36-foot-tall statues of the Beatles. (The sculptures await transfer to a permanent location.)
