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.
Welcome to our new summer feature, "How Well Do You Know Portland?" on WCYY. This is your chance to show how well you know our great city and all of its intricacies. There's a lot to Portland. Thought it would be fun, and pretty darn cool, to get the nitty gritty on the city.
