Making a map for future visitors. I know there are dozens of books and zines and whatnot on the best things to do in Portland, but I love making maps and telling people about all my favorite things too much to not make this.

Stood next to this bell for a literal 11 hours today but it didn’t ring once. I was disappointed to say the least.

But really, the sign suggests it could ring any moment. I was so ready for it.

The gift shop in the Portland Greyhound station is a bizarre place. It looks like it was fully stocked once in 1985, and for the past 27 years people have slowly picked away at it, leaving only the most undesirable gifts behind. 

“How can I not reach where you are

And pull you back. How can I be
And you not.”

-Mary Jo Bang, from “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus”

"In the midst of all your memories there is one
Faded away beyond recovering;
Neither the yellow moon nor the white sun
Will ever see you drinking from that spring."

Jorge Luis Borges, from “Limits,” trans. R. G. Barnes and Robert Mezey (via proustitute)

i need art supplies

Dick Blick is giving away $100 of art supplies to the first 100 people that show up to their new downtown Portland location at 9AM on 1/25.

I never remove things from my scanner, I just push everything down. Always. The epitome of laziness, some would say.
