Home in SE PDX (built in 1910.) It appears to have (what it is now referred to as an accessory commercial unit) a storefront connected to it that I'm guessing at one time served the neighborhood. (Store? Barber?) Paging @nbrhoodwrkshop.

Thanks to @rilaos75 for snapping these rediscovered signs on Milwaukie Avenue in SE Portland. It appears American Health Studios was a chain of fitness gyms during the mid-century. #ghostsigns #vintagesigns

I post this not because of the news (which is cool) but because I've always loved this 1916 building and the way it was retrofitted. https://t.co/Pa1SHhhdRp

THIS IS IN PORTLAND!
You guys. My wife's uncle is a major model train buff. He built a 2000sqft train layout over decades and now he wants to retire from the hobby and just give the whole thing away for FREE. He asked me if I knew anyone...I want to help!
