We got a mystery on our hands folks! I wrote a local theater roundup a million years (OK, 15) ago but it still works. From the listing: This iconic mid-century home is tucked amongst the trees near the University of Oregon, Hendricks Park and the Ridgeline Trail. The house was designed in 1965 by renowned Eugene architect Otto Poticha, and has been carefully renovated & reimagined to 21st century standards by exacting and creative owners. All the original integrity is intact, including solid cedar ceilings, and floor to ceiling picture windows w/ filtered views of downtown and coast range sunsets. US Bank, 1972, Astoria, Ore. “Restaurant Overlooking the Columbia River 04/1973” Portland noir versus Portland bore. As the kids say, TIL that 99W designates the westside of the *state* (not Portland - that’s just a coincidence). It has begun. Downtown Portland, 1973.
