Community Cycling Center

BANNERMuralOn Alberta Street in Portland, the Community Cycling Center refurbishes bicycles and sells them and offers customers the use of tolls and shop to also do repairs on their bikes. An interesting business model with an equally interesting mural on the West side of the building.

Passing through Monterey

CarSignWe left Marina early in the morning so we could stop and spend some time in Monterey as we made our way down the coast. It was around 9:00am and the center of town was abuzz with this auto auction. I think the ‘RM’ is the same person/company that has an auto auction show in TV.  We stopped in a coffee shop and it was filled with high rollers ( as I would define them ) who probably own or collect the various rare cars in the auction.

Just behind this woman there was a parks department info sign, most of the information was faded beyond readability. However, someone decided a new message needed to be written. Somehow I think the woman alone on a bench and the message on the faded sign went together.Woman on benchWriting

Phone located at the rest area. The landscape views were pretty amazing. I could see both Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams. What interested me was the phone booth, probably put out of service due to cell phones?
