The addition of light rail service is helping to further transform Portland's South Waterfront District into a multi-modal transit neighborhood. The south terminus of the Harbor Structure (with the light rail trackway installed) is seen on the top-right side of the photo.
TriMet buses and Portland Streetcars will be able to enter and exit the South Waterfront/SW Moody Ave Station (where the construction trucks are parked on the right) before or after crossing the Willamette River via Tilikum Crossing. Buses will also be able to use the Harbor structure to travel between South Waterfront and downtown Portland.

Saw this young lady roll by when out for a walk. I anticipated a crash but fortunately she was fine.
This is my last drawing for a moly_x_international sketchbook exchange that I've participated in for over two years with three other artists. My entry completes Katie's sketchbook whose theme was Winter Remembering Spring. My drawing follows Masha Kirikova's entry that includes the double window, checkered floor and inscription.
To read the words that are part of the drawing, please look at our blog

619 Congress St, Portland, Maine USA • … 2½ -story brick building with polychrome, multi-textured stone façade; two medallions that feature Homer and Socrates; round archways; gable roof; small fenced garden at front. Alterations: original doors removed, replaced with smaller doors and glass transom; statues representing history, literature and art were removed from roof peak and cornice eaves in 1929. Philanthropist James Baxter financed the building as a gift to the city. – The Baxter Building is one of Portland's 72 Designated Landmarks.
James P. Baxter (1831–1921), was Mayor of Portland, Maine: 1893-1896, 1904-1905.
… The building went unused from 1978 to 1983, when it was purchased by the Maine College of Art (MECA), which utilized the space for studios, dark rooms, as a computer lab and library. In 2010, MECA sold the building to Northland Enterprises LLC, which then leased it to the VIA Group (a small PR agency).
The building was designed by local architect Francis Henry Fassett (1823-1908). It was built in the Romanesque Revival style which was prominent during the mid-19th century. It was updated in 1928 by Portland architect [and Fassett protege] John Calvin Stevens. – From Wikipedia.
☞ On April 3, 1970, the National Park Service added this structure to the National Register of Historic Places (#70000043), as a part of the Spring Street Historic District (roughly bounded by Forest, Oak, Danforth, Brackett and Pine Sts.).
∞ Here's a photograph from a c.1905 postcard (showing the three statues later removed, in 1927).

Crazy multi-glyphs/ligatures on the outer walls of Gandzasar Monastery, Artsakh. With my limited Armenian deciphering skills, I'd say the one on the right is at least three letters in one (an "Ayb", a "Men", and a "Vew" possibly?). With the left one, I just give up. :-)
Or, as some call this, an MTmini.
Materials (including camera) were provided by my lovely friends at CanTouch. It was built with some help from my sister, who's an extremely gifted crafter/maker and has a kick-ass workshop.
On my Mac, I can read this thing's output and process it using BBTouch. From there I make use of the Reactable team's TUIO library for Processing to prototype stuff.
Visual output is on my Mac's screen, so it's not a true multi-touch interface, but it's enough to experiment with things. Once I have something running I'd be able to simply load it on a proper table and really play with it.
Now, what shall I build…?
Multi-print minidress over white bra, red knickers, black suspender belt and tan stockings.

Multi-coloured squeezy ball 'Penny Falls' prizes at Scarborough Amusement arcade...
You know the ones. You see what is obviously a gravity defying cluster of twopenny coins overhanging the motor driven cill on the arcade machine.
You have a few 2p coins in your pocket, so try to get them to drop.
The first coin dislodges a coin or two from the group so you feed them back in.
The cluster teeters on the brink. If you put in a couple more coins you are bound to make a cascade of phenomenal size. You change 10p for 2p coins but the pile still hangs there.
Next its a 20p or 50p coins worth of change...
Need I say more.
The more stubborn amongst us play on and will eventually win a handful of coins and a squishy toy.
Total cost, well over a pound...
They are clever, these machine manufacturers and operators. :-)
