Portland Al is a local legend; has met and known many many important musicians
coming up to Canada in the 60's, esp. blues players.
This is a combination grocery/record store. He's been threatening retirement for
at least the last 5 years but may still be going.

The Portland is a typical representative of the old
tan-faced sheep that was found throughout the
south west before the Roman invasion. The sheep
were originally bred on the Isle of Portland and
whilst the rest of the U.K. was experimenting
with breed development the sheep of Portland remained
isolated. By the early 20th century the Portland
was under pressure from other breeds and in
1920 the last Portland sheep left the island. The
breed became very rare although there were always
Portlands at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire,
where a flock had been established in 1770.
The sheep’s small size and distinctive look have earned
the breed many devoted admirers. Recently Portlands
have been re-introduced on to the Isle of
Portland.

I enjoyed a short walk on the Isle of Portland this morning. The views here are breathtaking. Apologies for my rather amateur video and narration. This clip is from the Verne Common Nature Reserve, and looks across to the Portland Heights Hotel, then pans over the rooftops of Fortuneswell and follows the Chesil Beach at the beginning of its' 18 mile journey West. Next is a view of the Causeway which carries the A354 road over the bridge to Weymouth. Then the Osprey Business Park comes into view. This was previously the Royal Navy Base HMS Osprey. It now includes a Marina and the National Sailing Academy. This was the setting for the Sailing and other Watersports events during the 2012 Olympic Games.
This is Leigh! We did her boudoir shoot at the Morrill Manson Bed & Breakfast in Portland, which was GORGEOUS. I highly recommend it for any other ladies looking to do a boudoir shoot in the area! ♥

Megan, mid 30s, has been living in Portland for the past decade and loves life here. Prior to Portland she lived in California.
Megan's passion is definitely music. She plays a few instruments and has plans to take it a step forward.
"People should follow their dreams and do what they long to do," Megan says. "It's important to love and respect each other but as important it is to love yourself, too."

So I cheated and tilted the picture to have the water tube (whatever that's actually called) vertical, as far as I remember the street was pretty level. It sort of implies that the building was crooked.

The Blue Circle Southern Cement Company operated a short private railway to connect their cement plant at Portland the NSWGR line to Mudgee. Although only two kilometers or so in length, the line featured a sharp gradient up to the cement plant. Blue Circle Southern Cement at Portland operated an interesting stud of industrial steam locomotives, often augmented by hired NSWGR locomotives (particularly members of the Z(26) class of 2-6-2ST engines) and was one of the last commercial steam locomotive operations in Australia, with second-hand diesel locomotives taking over as late as 1983. Complete closure of the cement plant followed a few years later.
One of the early locomotives supplied to Blue Circle Southern Cement for their Portland railway was "Stevo", a handsome 0-6-0ST built by Robert Stephenson & Co of Darlington, England (builder's number 2994 of 1899) which arrived new at Portland in 1907. (Apparently Stevo had been awaiting a buyer at Darlington for several years after construction in 1899.) It received road number "2" at Portland.
No.2 "Stevo" entered preservation in 1974 when acquired by the Parramatta Park Steam Tram Preservation Society. Although nominally operable, No.2 "Stevo" was apparently too heavy for the light track then in use at Parramatta Park and saw only infrequent use.
Fortunes changed for No.2 "Stevo" in 1993 when it was sent to the NSW Rail Transport Museum, Thirlmere in 1993 for contract restoration. By sheer good luck it had not yet returned to the Parramatta Park Steam Tramway site at the time of the arson attack in May 1993 which destroyed the Parramatta Park loco shed and contained wooden rollingstock. Steam Tram 103A and steam locomotive 1022 were severely damaged, with Stevo at Thirlmere suddenly the only remaining operable asset.
The Parramatta Park Steam Tram Preservation Society later relocated to Valley Heights and have progressively rebuilt their collection and operations there. Accordingly No. 2 "Stevo" was relocated from Thirlmere to Valley Heights in 1999. Here it is displayed on one of the roundhouse roads and is occasionally steamed for the Valley Heights Steam Tramway service.

Shops on Julia Street (? - Correct me if I'm wrong somebody please!) Portland, Victoria, Australia, August 1979.
In downtown Portland near Chinatown, Ground Kontrol has become an attraction of sorts. It is a video game arcade consisting exclusively of old games, run by dedicated hobbyists. After all, considering that the early 1980s is considered the "Golden Age of Video Game Arcades" - where arcade machines had enough power and memory to allow intuitive game interfaces, but still primitive enough that gameplay and strategy mattered more than pretty graphics - video games from that era are still very desirable even today (and that is my own preference).
The video games featured run the gamut from the late 1970s examples (Space Invaders, Galaxian) to the early 1990s examples (Street Fighter II Champion Edition, NBA Jam), though of course the most enjoyable ones are early to mid-1980s ones such as Galaga and Xevious; I spent about an hour or so inside.
