The White Stag sign, also known as the "Made in Oregon" sign and the “Portland Oregon” sign, is a lighted neon and incandescent bulb sign located atop the White Stag Building, at 70 NW Couch Street in downtown Portland, facing the Burnside Bridge. The sign faces westbound traffic as it enters downtown Portland coming across the Willamette River. The sign was acquired by the City of Portland in September 2010, and the lettering was changed to read "Portland Oregon" in November 2010.
Due in no small part to a Christmas tradition in which the nose of the stag on the sign glows red in imitation of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the sign is an identifying landmark of Portland and was designated a City of Portland Historic Landmark in 1977.
Since its installation in 1940 the sign has carried various messages and animations, generally advertising Portland companies, the longest-lasting version being for White Stag Sportswear, from 1959 until 1997.
On the opposite side of the pavilion from the hira niwa (flat garden) is this temporary Isamu Noguchi exhibit, We are the Landscape of All We Know (May 3-July 21). You can also see Mt. Hood from here, although it was much too bright to get a shot of it.

I asked permission to take photos in almost all cases, and in all photos where I was aware of a child in the photo, I asked permission to take the photo and post here.
I did not ask permission for many group photos, where poses were being done for photos, assuming that taking those photos was implied okay. If you have any questions please message me through my Flickr page. Thank you!
Some times I include photos of both front and back because often times cosplayers have created something elaborate on the back side - and they never get to see what it looks like!

We happened to visit this Portland Head Lighthouse today and walked into a two-fold Memorial service. One for the sinking of a US Naval Sub-chaser off the coast during WWII, and two, the loss of US service personnel recently overseas. The Marines and Navy had a color guard on top of the lighthouse, while the Blue Angels did a fly-over. portlandheadlight.com/
Portland. This is Maine’s largest city with a metro population of 500,000. The historic port area is of most interest. When Maine became a state in 1820 Portland was the capital until it was moved to Augusta in 1832. Maine never abolished slavery because it never allowed it. Massachusetts, which had included Maine until 1820, abolished slavery in 1781. Because Portland was a major port and involved in the slave trade, taking salted cod to the South and the Caribbean, returning with molasses and transporting slaves across the Atlantic from Africa, it was also a centre for slave stowaways who escaped on ships. Runaway slaves then alighted at Portland and made an overland journey up to Canada and freedom. The city was a major ‘station’ for the Underground Railroad and black businessmen in the city assisted runaways. The city has developed its own ‘freedom trail’ of sites linked to the Underground Railroad. Anti-slavery lectures were popular in Portland and the Quakers and other religious groups supported abolition of slavery. The city has the third oldest African church in America - the Abyssinian Meeting House (1828). The waterfront affords views across Casco Bay and the city centre is known for its charming 19th century buildings. Before arriving in Salem we cross New Hampshire bypassing the city of Portsmouth.

Redundant church, begun in 1754, consecrated in 1766, to the design of Thomas Gilbert (1706-1776), a local "Gent, Architect and Master Builder". Made in Portland stone, quarried nearby, it was listed Grade 1 in 1951.
Its layout is typical of a 'preacher's church', with box pews facing away from the altar, which is vestigial, and towards the pulpits. There are two of these -- one for reading the lesson and the other for sermonizing. The testament overrides the sacrament.
The church fell out of use in the early 20th century. In 1971 it came into the care of the Redundant Churches Trust, now known as the Churches Conservation Trust. The Trust carried out extensive restoration work in 2012, with more under way.

Note a couple key things about this attractive transit stop.
It displays the time until the next streetcar arrives (and current time). It has a map.
Oh, and it provides shelter.
No transit stop should be without this kind of information in the 21st Century.
Also note the sponsorship from the Hoyt Realty Group. How many bus stops do you think we could sell in Milwaukee? A lot, and think of the improvements we could make with that.
