If you’d like to believe in magical spooky houses again, take a trip to the House of Balls. This eccentric gallery trips the imagination in many wonderfully weird ways. The ‘balls’ referred to are bowling balls, carved into sculptures and decorating this abode, along with more of Allen Christian’s sculptures made from other found materials. While it claims to be open every night at midnight and other random times and upon request if you call ahead, I have yet to find the door unlocked when just dropping by, but know of folks who have gained entrance. It’s always fun to stop and check, too, because Christian has rigged the outside with some low-tech interactives and the warped view in through the windows emphasizes the magical promise inside. It’s an odd spot, for certain, and right around the corner is Moose and Sadies, a bright, clean cafe with great coffee and cookies.
