ABC13 Hidden Houston: A Little Red Button (video begins after ad)
Over Buffalo Bayou and under the Preston St. bridge, a civic art installation can give those who dare to push it quite the surprise. Its red button isn't advertised, but it asks visitors to follow their impulses and find out for themselves. The button was installed in 1998 by artist Dean Ruck as part of his "Big Bubble" project for Sesquicentennial Park.
