White Trash Wonder # 1
"Lost Lake" Just South of Houston, TX
I don't know what pervert's ill-conceived dream resulted in the abomination know as Lost Lake near Houston, TX, but this place is perfect for starting off the Suckiest Places on Earth series. I will use few words, as the pathetic images speak for themselves. The lost lake is clearly one of the eight wonders of the white trash world.

Only three bucks to get in! What a bargain! Honey, I know where to take the kids next time they're complaining that there's nothing to do this summer. They could have fun all day.... it sure beats Astroworld and you don't have to drive near as far, neither.

Once my brother and I had a dream of building an amusement park on the worthless land that our family owns in Green County, Alabama. I am sure it would have turned out just about like this place had we ever done it. The thing was, we were only 12 years old. An ADULT had to build this place. What was this person thinking as they built? "Man, the kids are gonna love this place...the bank, the hotel...give em a taste of the Ole West..."

I was afraid to get too close to the actual inhabitants of the Lost Lake to get a really good picture, but you get the idea. There are actually people living in this mother. What do you think their mailing address is? What kind of pickup lines would these guys use in a bar? "Uh, yeah...I live over at the Lost Lake...I like the freedom..." You can't see from this shot, but there are a couple of freaks prowling around by a dilapidated weight set next to the old Camaro. In a way I felt like that lady that observed the monkeys, Fossy or Goodall or whatever here name was... How many meth labs do you think are amongst those trailers?

"See honey, I'll juss put a bank sign on here an it'll look like a Wil West Bank...juss need a tumbleweed..."

I tried to get a shot of the goons that live here, but I think they turned invisible.

"You juss wait'll I get that fish finished. Them kids is gone love that." This fish looks like a rapist just waiting for some unsuspecting child to round that corner. The scary thing is, people actually LIVE in that fish house. No lie.

"Juss imagine the sunrise coming up over that Lake, honey. Iss gone be like paradise." When I was a kid and made the honor roll my parents would reward me by taking me to some "Japanese" restaurant or at least trying to do something good for me. If my kids make crappy grades I swear I'll take em to this place and make them spend the whole day.

Ahh, what a view. There's an empty six pack on the table. Notice that locked gate. Who do they wanna keep out? Or is this to keep people in? Either way, there's no fence. A locked gate? This place is the creation of a truly twisted individual.

"The lake is flanked by a cesspool and a port-o-john. We call it the eighth wonder of the Whitetrash world." Look at this crap. A normal person couldn't make a place this devoid of hope and goodness if they tried. Seriously, how could anyone make something so crappy? Think about that a second.
A nice addition by John Taylor: every time i go to houston, i look at that dump and think the same stuff. i mean, what is so lost about that lake? evidently it is a few hundred meters from the road and has been invaded by the dregs of society. is it lost because its surrounding inhabitants are? is it a "lost lake" cause they are hiding everything from elvis presley and jimmy hoffa to the monster from the black lagoon? i mean come on . . . let's get real
