Jan Hersey gave us that great rainbow image this week of the Custom Plywood cleanup site. Compare it to how the site looked in 2011 and ... wow!

Today’s Pearl district graffiti cleanup was a huge success with three community volunteers pitching in. Tom Tullai, John Banton and George Ranum of Vancouver, WA heard about Rogue’s graffiti removal efforts in the Oregonian’s Arts and Entertainment section and decided to get in on the action. Tom, John and George were thanked with Rogue gift bags and were ushered into the pub after the cleanup for a few pints. Outside Deschutes Brewery, the Rogue team caught the attention of diners and wait staff alike who gawked at the scene through restaurant windows. General Manager Mike Rowan even came outside to check out the action! His attempt at coercing us into cleaning the Deschutes bathroom was unsuccessful, but he did thank us for our community efforts.

The owners of the lot on the corner of Richmond Rd. & Woodroffe Ave. have gotten site plan approval. So they've started cleaning up the site, including the old wood fence covered with signs for the previous 'Azure' proposal. That fence had become an utter eyesore.
Site plan approval isn't a building permit, so they can't start building yet, but that's probably not far off. Once construction commences, an already terrible intersection will become an utter zoo, and will be left even worse than it was before when the new apartment building is inhabited.
