So, if you ventured downtown any time in the past 30 years, you would be familiar with the 70’s era bus shelters that dotted SW 5th and 6th avenues. That was before the most recent green line MAX construction. When they first began construction and moved the buses off to [...]

This morning’s commute to the office provided an interesting diversion. As I waited for the second bus of my commute on NE Multnomah, I couldn’t help but notice a Knife River load sitting in the middle of the street. “Well, that’s an odd place to leave a bunch of dirt,” I thought.
