More from the 1972 McGovern rally

Thomas Rutter from Photomic [his photo blog – check it out] graciously let me post a couple of photos of the same pro-McGovern rally I scanned from The Scribe a couple posts back.

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. From the back of the postcard: Love to see older buildings (this one was built in 1926) being reused. And speaking of reuse (how’s THAT for a segue?), the business in there now sells gently used nice kitchen equipment at super reasonable prices. Ad for the Ports o’ Call on Swan Island, 1974. The fantastic KGW Broadcast Center on SW Jefferson. 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).
