The Milwaukie “Torso Murder” of 1946

It’s not all kooky 50s architecture, wacky mid-century motels and obvious nods to Don Draper around here. Let’s get heavy. Though it hasn’t been updated in more than a year the local crime blog Slabtown Chronicle is still a favorite of mine. A mixture of current crime, history and mayhem, it’s a fantastic read of… Read More The Milwaukie “Torso Murder” of 1946

The Edris Morrison Studios (1222-1224 SW Broadway) was a portrait photography studio run by photographer and theater actor Edris Morrison Cox (1903-1997). Mummy’s in downtown Portland closed in 2022. There are some great articles about it floating on the web (check out Thebeerchaser’s review). No, I haven’t lost my mind, just got lost in downtown Los Angeles last month (yes, I know my page is called Lost Oregon). Wasn’t sure where to post, so, why not do a photo dump here? I really loved downtown LA’s energy, contrasts, and, of course, its architecture. Top 9 pics of 2025. The Acrop building is for sale!?" I’ve walked by the Golden Nugget in downtown Milwaukie untold times over the years but had never stepped foot inside until last night, and man, I’ve been missing out. Time capsule. Friendly bartender, late 60s interior vibe, booths. 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.
