Not really an iconic view of this most famous tourist spot. It has been nearly four years since I took this photo and I always cringe a little every time I look at and think about the woman staring back at me; I feel like I got busted or something. Of all of the people moving about this space, she was the only one ( and the closest to me ) who spotted me and what I was doing. I should have asked her if she minded being in the photo, but….In profile, she looks much like someone I worked with many years ago. So, on a couple of levels this image has some weird mojo attached to it. I would really like to think she is a spy posing as a tourist, but that could be just my imagination working overtime.

This building used to be the SW Police precinct building and has served other purposes over the years. I am glad it is being taken care of.

Mike’s House: Update

On September 16, 2011 By Fred KingIn buildings, Houses, PortlandLeave a comment

I think this is the fourth update on Mike’s house and probably the last exterior views I will take. The exterior is now finished and Mike is working mostly in the interior. My next update, with luck, will show the interior.

The Shoremont Apartments on Beach Drive fell into a state of disrepair/neglect. They are now in the process of gutting the inside and hopefully leaving the nice, brick exterior.

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.
