This shady old eyesore has been a blight on the corner of 18th and Northrup as long as I’ve lived in Portland, and possibly well before.
Sad to see it go if only because it had become so familiar.
I hope something interesting goes in its place and it isn’t left as a vacant lot scar in the city fabric.
Despite the best collective efforts of the Pearl District, and the Portland Business Alliance (of sit/lie law fame, among other deplorable activities), there’s still some cool stuff in close in NW Portland.
Don’t recognize the style or the name Bunny M but this thing is pretty rad. On the side of the building that houses Slabtown.
Offerings to the Postal Garden gnome.
Another Damn Skull from rx and a bunch of marker pieces. I wonder if USPS calculates how many of those stickers become slap tags?
Odd growth. There was a trench dug out all around this tree, sadly it looked like they might be removing it. There’s another fire hydrant about ten feet down from it that was probably installed after this one became overgrown.
Ever since I saw my first, the Subaru XT it has had a place on my automotive bucket list. 80s starfighter styling, all wheel drive, pop up headlights, and crammed full of failure prone but endearing gadgets that are a product of their time in every way. What’s not to love? A little under 100000 were produced over its six year run, so it might just be attainable.
This one lives in NW Portland, displaying a surprisingly nice paint job for its age in that one shade of blue that somehow works only on Subarus of a certain vintage.
The bumper stickers give away the owner as a local.
