Visited the Re-use store in North Portland - like a smaller SCRAP. They had a nice wall of posters, and some cool art supplies.

El barrio de la Sagrera celebra esta semana las fiestas del barrio que coinciden con las de su parroquia de Cristo Rey. Esta se construyó junto con la creación de la institución de Cristo Rey formada por Pío XXI en 1924. El 23 de noviembre se celebra la fiesta patronal, que marca el fin del año litúrgico.
Fuera la parroquia ya está el rastro de las fiestas del barrio que ya han comenzado y coinciden con las de la parroquia. La Iglesia, que destaca entre los edificios del barrio por su gran campanario, ha sido un lugar de encuentro para muchas actividades de la diócesis y concretamente mantiene una actividad muy arraigada en el día a día de sus vecinos.
Actividades parroquiales
Las actividades de la parroquia velan por las necesidades de los feligreses, como el Grupo Trabajo de Vida que da consejo a aquellas personas recién jubiladas. La pastoral de la Salud también tiene presencia y actúa por los enfermos y, por otra parte, Cáritas toma un papel fundamental.

Building inscription within an ansate panel (tabula ansata) from Hadrian's Wall now in the church at Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland (and presumably from either Wall Miles 11 or 12). This is RIB 1387 which reads c(enturia) Fl(avi) As/[... or 'The century of Flavius As[... (built this)'.
Really cool wall scuplture that was just brought in within the past week. I will try to get a better photo later.

The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during the rule of successive dynasties.
The Great Wall is the world's longest human-made structure, stretching over approximately 6,400 km from Shanhai Pass in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. It is also the largest human-made structure ever built in terms of surface area and mass. (Wikipedia docet)
