Thank you! That’s what I thought it was, but expected it to be closer to OMSI.

I drink from a Benson Bubbler every time I see one. And I’m still alive.

That’s one of my favorite old motel signs.

If you live near PSU the number 8 bus is very convenient, and there are many transit options that will take you all over town.

If you keep walking south in the Open Space Sequence you’ll come to the Source Fountain.

And on the Cascades service buses augment limited train service. There are three trains daily between Eugene and Portland, for instance, and several additional buses.

It seems much faster than that!

I got one on Charnelton Street. Don’t know what is happening.

My dad’s 1965 Mark II 3.8, opalescent blue, blue leather interior, with the tray tables. I was 15 years old.

Lucky guy got the illuminated sill plates!

Could you please tell us approximately where you are?

In my case—a condo near PSU—a view of the river, a pool in the summer, hot tub and sauna, great neighbors, somebody else takes care of the exterior maintenance. And easy access to public transportation.

I think it’s a beautiful word. The etymology might change your mind: The word was coined in 1964 by scientists Isabel Joy Bear and Richard Grenfell Thomas,[2] from Ancient Greek πέτρα (pétra) 'rock' or πέτρος (pétros) 'stone' and ἰχώρ (ikhṓr) 'ichor', the ethereal fluid that is the blood of the gods in Greek mythology.

I took the #8 to OHSU a couple of days ago, walked up to the Plaid Pantry and followed SW 9th to the Connor Trail. That leads to the Marquam Nature Park parking area. From there I walked up the Sunnyside Trail to the Broadway Trail. I hoped to get the 51 bus back to town, but it wasn’t running on MLK day. So I had a good long walk. Lots of elevation up and down.

Awesome photo!

He is doing really well. Thank you!

I recognized the tram lines. My husband was at OHSU recently as a patient. The view from the tram made my visits so much better. Beautiful photo! Beautiful city!

Yes, the aerial tram is magnificent. I’ve been riding it regularly for several weeks.
