Portland/Sellwood noir. Then (1963) and now. From the postcard: New on the ol’ blog: a look at William L. Finley, his life along the Willamette, and why his fight for the river still feels very current (heh). Folk art whimsy alert in Milwaukie. Milwaukie neon. The former Perry’s Pharmacy Building in downtown Milwaukie is getting a new life and being retrofitted into new retail spaces. I wrote about the project - hop into my bio to read! The light hit just right last night at the Willamette Falls. I found a clipping (swipe) about the Beachcombers Club in Lake Oswego mentioning the Jim Benton Trio from the Oregon Mirror, June 1962. (Says Wiki: The Oregon Mirror was an African-American newspaper founded by Jimmy "Bang Bang" Walker and Don Alford in 1961.) Golden hour at Gino’s. Found a seat at the bar. It will always be my favorite spot in Portland to sip on an Old Fashioned.
