Head apparel seems to be the theme today. Straw Hat, butterfly hat and the ever present balloon hat. This once a month street fair on Alberta St. runs from May till Oct. every year and stretches about a 18 blocks along the street.

This open space, adjacent to Alberta Street, which is highly commercial, seemed kind of odd to me. I mostly like the clouds, I think. The Vespa obsession continues :-).

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.
