Two quick shots of the remains of an old building with some more modern structure visible behind it.

The Armory looks cool and castle-like. Not sure what's in it now.

![[Diane!]](images/Photos/Portland2010/Downtown/IMG_1027-sm.jpg "Diane!") huge |
I met my friend Diane in the "Alphabet District" (the street names follow alphabetical order) and saw a telephone pole where lots and lots of notes, notices, and fliers had been posted. It was nothing but a mass of the remains of paper pulp with nothing that could be read. I found it visually interesting. Across the street from the telephone pole was my friend Diane, wearing a bright orange down jacket (it was August, she was feeling the cold).

![[Loyalty Building]](images/Photos/Portland2010/Downtown/IMG_1030-sm.jpg "Loyalty Building") huge |
More interesting buildings. THe Meier and Frank Co. building is in the first two shots, and sadly is in pretty run-down shape for a building that shares my name. The third shot is of the "Loyalty Bldg" which was right by the parking garage (I was on top of the garage). I found it a somewhat odd yet intriguing name.

![[Portland freeway from above]](images/Photos/Portland2010/Downtown/IMG_1034-sm.jpg "Portland freeway from above") huge |
From the top of the parking garage I took a shot of the street below, and then one looing to the west (I think) with the highway visible.

![[Portland building from on top of a parkign garage]](images/Photos/Portland2010/Downtown/IMG_1036-sm.jpg "Portland building from on top of a parkign garage") huge |
And finally, another old brick building with some cool fire escape stairs from the top of the parking garage, 10 floors up.
