Invader Zim?

So I’m driving down US70 coming home from work and I see a new business: selling shipping containers of the type that you can use to make houses. It’s all green and yellow and, surprised to see in the Western North Carolina Mountains, but it’s painted with Hebrew. A little internet research and I [...]
