This is actually on the exterior wall of a building on Alberta St. in NE Portland. It invites you to touch-very tactile friendly.

Spotted, a cross-dressing Rubics Cube, strolling down Alberta St. one morning. I will restrain myself from editorializing.

Image of a shelf or two inside the coffee shop on Alberta St. that I frequent, along with my grandchildren. It is an old Rexall Drugs Store converted into a small cafe that seems on the verge of collapse. The second floor has a few apartments, I believe. Thursday evenings there is live music to entertain or intrigue.

I couldn’t resist taking a photo of this trailer on Alberta St. Kind of reminds me of the lime-flavored Jarritos soft drink. Alberta St. seems to be the confluence of gentrification and quirkiness.

When out on a stroll with your monitor, please note that, if you decide to go into a drinking establishment, it is advisable to secure your monitor to a solidly cemented post. Not doing so might encourage your monitor to stray or run into foul play.

Acme Glass, on Alberta St., closed last year after decades at this site. Major remodeling is going on now to accommodate a pizza place, called Chicago Pizza.

On a lot that originally had one house a developer constructed two of these ‘skinny houses’. The location is just one block north of Alberta St., NE Portland.
