shush - my wife might be lurking. I don't want to end up a real "Street Husband" |

| Rebecca commented on 05.21.03 | | Honestly, Dan, I thought maybe we could get together for coffee or something. Sheesh, some people.... |

| Rebecca commented on 05.21.03 | | Hey Dan, I'm going to be heading to Long Beach from San Diego Thursday afternoon (tomorrow). I'll be in your neighborhood. |

| Rebecca commented on 05.21.03 | | I do find it noteworthy that every garage in Newport Beach seems to house mattresses. Frank, it is not true that every garage in the U.S. is full of mattresses, just those in Orange County. |

| Rebecca commented on 05.21.03 | | I think I do carports but not garages. Porches sometimes if I'm feeling desperate. I try to avoid mattress stores altogether because the ethical dilemma tears me up. |

| DVD Dan commented on 05.21.03 | Frank - I also kind of agree. Until a week ago I was rejecting any matts that were completely inside a dwelling. Then I drove by "Padded Room" and thought that was pretty interesting, so I reviewed other submissions and many others are including matts inside structures, including yourself. Also in Southern California a garage is basically our version of an Alabama porch. So I ammended my personal definition of Street Matts to:
1. A matt on the street.
2. A matt visible from the street, but not being used as a mattress.(ie. no bedroom windows)
3.Matts inside mattress stores don't count (way too easy)
4. Matts outside mattress stores count if in transit to or fro.
5. Exceptions of course for unusual situations.

| Salinger commented on 05.21.03 | | Frank - i guess they are but you're right. they are boring. |

| Frank commented on 05.21.03 | | I find "garagemattressess" a bit boring, are it real streetmattresses? It looks as if every garage in the States has one, so that makes some millions. |
