May I share just a few photographs of some of my favorite sights around zany Portland?
The historic Kenton Firehouse in my neighborhood. I pass by it on dog walks & on my way to the MAX train. Built in 1912 & once housing horse-drawn fire wagons, it was boarded up in 1959. Neighbors persuaded the city to let them restore the firehouse. They raised $500,000 & reinforced the brickwork, painted & added a new roof & kitchen. They reopened the firehouse for events in 1977. The top floor is the home of the a City of Portland Neighborhood services office. I really like the firehouse a bunch.
From the Max Train in Old Town/Chinatown
Portland has a wealth of vintage neon. I love a good dive bar. This one is in Southeast Portland, close to my company's HQ.
Downtown, close to what used to be the gay area- Vaseline Alley.
2 blocks from my work, They also offer malt liquor & porn.
A block away from work at the Start of the South Park Blocks
A block from Post Apocalyptic Bohemia. This spot recently went out of business, appearently from the lack of crowds on Wens.
