Thanks, again, for coming along for the ride this past Summer on my #PortlandQuest. It was a good time getting out there, and seeing some sights. Along the way there were weeks where you guessed the correct answer and others where you were stumped, but it was all intended to be fun and educational.
A few days ago, I posted some pictures of a historic place within the boundaries of Portland. Quite the place!
I've had a great summer playing #PortlandQuest, happening on a few unknown spots, and a few that are too well known--Gold Street, for example!
Gates are great in Portland. We have so much iron protecting our yards from dogs during our neighborhood walks. We also have numerous dudes and dudettes per year jumping these gates to impress their dates.
I have a great job: excellent parking, superb coffee and the freedom to get out into Portland and get my hands dirty--looking for the nitty gritty of the city. So far, quite the ride. Thanks for hitching along.
The Fourth of July is this Friday and we wanted to use this important holiday to highlight a special location in our city. Do you know where it is?
On Tuesday I showed you this small piece of Portland History--a single unpainted shingle on an otherwise red-painted structure...and the guesses were all good.
The past few weeks, you have readily identified some unusual, but, iconic spots around Portland. This week, see if you can identify the location of this single shingle.
When I started this summer series "How Well Do You Know Portland?" a couple weeks ago, the one thing it taught me is you guys really know the nitty gritty on the city. We received 40 to 50 correct responses about last week's picture. Shall we continue our quest?
Alright! So a lot of people know where this is. Three days ago, I put a picture up on CYY of some alfresco arte (aka graffiti) , that adorns a wall in a certain Portland locale. Found out the "locale" has a few more aliases than just the street name.
