Portland has lost hundreds of these buildings to other "development" over the years -

Okay, let's head back on over to the East Side -

Duck, Duck Goose -

The hideous building where your city's basketball team comes to lose ;) -

The Blazers, scaring opponents with architecture and modernism since 1970.

This decommissioned walkway reminds me of the Asbury Park, NJ (Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!) boardwalk, and the old Howard Johnson's there -

Bike City, USA -

Mount St. Helens keeping an eye on us -

A Walk Along the Willamette - Portland Photo Diary | 8 comments

Good morning! (14.75 / 4)

I'm going to try to see if I can eat anything / keep it down today. It's been two days now, so hopefully I'll be cool soon.

I was feeling good when I woke up so I was thinking breakfast from a taco truck, but now I'm thinking a bagel is probably a safer bet...

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones...

Hey Jay (15.00 / 4)

You been sick?

Thanks for the walk through Portland. When were these taken, it looks like April or May with the cherry trees in bloom? That gray in the morning breaking up to blue in the afternoon looks like we have been having here lately. In the park those tall round sculptures with the faces on them are interesting. I love Portland.

Yeah, they're from a couple months ago... (4.50 / 4)

As for me, I think I'm sick of being sick.

;)

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones...

I can eat again! (14.33 / 3)

Breakfast has stayed down. I even went hardcore and did a chorizo breakfast burrito from a truck.

;)

Of course, now I probably won't want to eat again for 3 days. That's a big-ass breakfast burrito. Shoulda saved some but I didn't know I'd be finished with what I had to do there and be back home so soon...

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones...

Fabulous pics, Jay....and a wonderful diary! (14.25 / 4)

Keep up the great work! Hope you're feeling better soon.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
