Jake BrownSpeaking of sk8ing, stopped by Burnside Skatepark a few months back to snap a few empty park photos (and skate my new setup). The DIY transitions here look so good in the overcast light. I'll be submitting one of the pics to the iPhone Photography Awards, but I kinda dig 'em all, so here they be 🛹 <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/portland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/oregon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oregon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pdx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdx</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pnw?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pnw</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ippawards?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ippawards</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/burnside?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#burnside</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/skatepark?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skatepark</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sk8?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sk8</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/skate?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skate</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/skating?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skating</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/skateboard?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skateboard</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/skateboarding?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skateboarding</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/iphone?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iphone</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/iphoneography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iphoneography</a>

Steve Dinn 🇨🇦I will say, though, that despite perhaps but meeting the quality bar of other restaurants, Cora's in <a href="https://social.dinn.ca/tags/Burnside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Burnside</a> had friendly staff and very fast service.

Steve's PlaceAn update from PBOT slapped my inbox silly."A smoother street, with improved lighting, pedestrian crossings and curb ramps, requires overnight closure of E Burnside Street from 94th to 99th avenues over I-205, Jan. 13-25"They're also replacing some ancient railroad ties at the site in parallel work.Sure, it may take 150 years, but eventually perennially cash-strapped Oregon gets it repaired! If... if the weather cooperates. Which, as they point out at the end of the email, applies here.A more realistic announcement: "Sometime, in nice weather, maybe beginning on the 13th, we'll close the overpass to begin weather-dependent work there. Sometime, in nice weather, hopefully before summer arrives, we'll finish up!"<a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/PBOT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PBOT</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/Portland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/Burnside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Burnside</a>
