Parse Json method?

I'm curious what I'm doing wrong. Can someone find an problem with the code?

json.rb 
require 'json'

json_string = <<-STR
  { "name": "Treehouse", "location": "Portland, OR" }
STR

treehouse = JSON_parse(json_string)

To call the parse method, you need to use JSON.parse instead of JSON_parse.
