...Thank you for the linkage, sir! You are a mensch!<br /><br />Elizabeth's comment is germane – what I remember the most about the intersection is the waits just to get through. As a matter of fact, when we really had to get somewhere in a hurry or baby our (usually just near a breakdown) car, we avoided it!<br /><br />But it wasn't <i>that</i> bad. And while it isn't iconic, it's appeared in enough photos of historic Portland that it at least quinessential. For instance, that's where the "spinning O" film clip fo the old Tik Tok's sign during the Columbus Day Storm was taken from. <br /><br />Irritating wait, yes, but I'll miss it none the less.Samuel John Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514541030057763303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29022686.post-56838276720683939492010-04-05T15:24:43.485-07:002010-04-05T15:24:43.485-07:00I must say I will not be sad to see that one go......I must say I will not be sad to see that one go...it seems like I waited hours at that intersection during my year in PortlandElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598512977862652118noreply@blogger.com
