Fox Theater's Whaling Wall & Hamburger Mary's - May 10, 1993

Newly painted "Whaling Wall" on the back of the Fox Theater around 1993. The mural wouldn't last to see the end of the decade; the block was leveled to make way for the Fox Tower. In the foreground is Hamburger Mary's and its adjoining bar. Mary's was one of Portland's best little diners throughout the 80's and 90's. Next door is a record shop that later became the home of Crocodile Records. Taken from SW 9th and Taylor looking NE. I found this photo at www.wylandfoundation.org/whalingWalls/whalingWalls_index.cfm - a website dedicated to Wyland's Orca murals around the world. This was his 35th mural.
