Jim Pirtle, empresario behind downtown's NotsuoH (you may know it as "The Home of Easy Credit" on Main Street), recently discovered a treasure trove of clown art in the River Oaks home of a recently deceased former Astroarena developer and co-owner of the Ringling Bros. circus.

Don't ask, just go. Especially if you've never been to NotsuoH. Be prepared for any combination of barflys, chess players, teen-age speed punk bands and other human curiosities.

"ClownsuoH," on view through Groundhog Day (Feb. 2) at NotsuoH, 314 Main Street.
