I dig this layout (no surface parking lot): . . . [video=youtube;yaNX77POAlg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaNX77POAlg&feature=player_embedded[/video] . Barbur Blvd. - Portland
Man, that is some bad-ass driving in that Safeway video. Guy runs a yellow light, almost hits pedestrians, goes the wrong way in the parking structure, drives up the escalator, and gets completely sideways on the road at the end. I am impressed. barfo
You have no idea how excited I am about that new Safeway. I've grown up next to the current Safeway located on Barbur and it's the shittiest Safeway in existence. The new one looks amazing.
It's best to watch it stoned. He drives sideways and then his car flies up into the air. There should be surrealistic music. The stoned architect who made that video was the one who designed the Twin Towers to withstand an airplane collision.
Nice^ Btw, here's a first look at the OHSU building to go up on their SoWa campus: Phase-ll of this building will add an additional 7-floors to the north tower.

Preliminary plans from Mr. Weston; much needed Convention Center Hotel could be on the horizon: LINK . .
This current architectural fad of randomly placed little windows? Ugly. These buildings are not going to age well. barfo
