And finally, Appraise That!


In 2003, Stan Pike's plan to add a rounded front stoop to a home he was renovating was rejected by the Avondale Estates Historic Preservation Commission. This wasn't the first time Pike had disagreed with the commission and this time he fought back with paint. Within 2 days the home, in a quiet Atlanta suburb, was lime green with big purple polka dots.
