    The on ramp off of Barbur (well, Nato) looks to be gone in this rendering.

    Yes, the Fremont. It's a bridge in Portland. I cross it regularly. It's dirty, ugly and in need of a industrial strength power-washing. Maybe even change it's color, so it's not that gawd awful late 60's early 70's concrete grey that dominated a lot of Portland in the 80s and early 90's.

    actually, it's the other way around. The Port Mann Bridge inspired the Fremont.

    Well, it is concrete. For my money the Marquam is a lot uglier.

    And the Port Mann bridge is bigger. And scheduled to be replaced and demolished.

    the only way to make the Marquam less ugly is to remove it. At least with the Fremont they could paint it, or add (more) flags to it.

    I'm in favor of making it less ugly.

    Well, it's a nice looking church building. I guess if I find myself with an addiction to pornography and a history of churchgoing, I might look them up.

    I'm not religious :devilwink:

    This church is as anti-Portland as it gets. They're a very fundamental group who hates 'the gays'. Just this | side of Westboro.

    Too bad he didn't get jumped by some skaters under the Burnside bridge as he shot this!

    That would have been unlikely, since I believe he was under the Hawthorne bridge...

    that guy has an addictive personality, yet it's Portlands fault.

    I guess if there's one way to get your audience interest, it's to insult them and their city.

    Oh man that sucks... I saw that church a couple months ago and I thought it would be awesome to get married there because it looks like a castle. At the time it was for sale, too bad that's the new occupants.

    In your 3 sentences, you just had four postulations that are about as wrong as it possible gets. But that's probably for another thread
