From The Annals Of Hollywood Horror

This has to be one of the top three creepiest buildings in Portland. It sits inside an industrial port area on the Willamette River, while right next to a busy highway. Most local motorist know the structure is there, because traffic will slow considerably for all those inquisitive as to its current state of decay (and to see what might fly out of it). Amazingly, it's been in this compromised condition for over twenty years. I haven't a clue as to why it's still standing, I asked around and no one else seems to know either. Portland doesn't have many 'boogeyman' type structures such as this just standing about, however, some landowner or authority must feel this is a landmark worth preserving (or decomposing as it were) if for nothing else, then the sake of nostalgia.

 

So if you ever make it to Portland, be sure to add this... well, lets just call it a 'curio' to your itinerary: it only gets better with time!

 

Cheers

 

Wait! Suddenly, after writing this, I feel the need to solve this great mystery. Stay tune, I'll be back...
