Big-A** Sandwiches

I tracked down VooDoo Donuts at 3rd Ave near Burnside, but the humongous donuts didn’t seem like quite the right thing to get for lunch. So instead, I got myself an even more humongous big-a** roast-beef sandwich, which came with french fries (in the sandwich bun) and bechemel cheese. I could only eat half of it …

I’m spending the two months of April and May, 2012 in Portland, OR … and I brought my camera(s) with me to record my observations and impressions of the city. I’ve been here on random occasions since the mid-1970s, mostly for short business visits to high-tech computer companies, as well as a couple of recent family visits. But I don’t really know much about the city, other than what I’ve recently read in this Wikipedia article; if you skim through it, you’ll know basically as much as I do about the place.

I’m staying in a condo in the "Pearl District" section of northwest Portland, which seems to have a lot of renovated lofts and warehouses, as well as a bunch of shops and restaurants. It doesn’t seem to be the richest or the poorest part of town, nor is it the center of the most liberal hippies or the most conservative folks. But I’m starting to wander into other parts of the city, and hopefully I’ll gradually accumulate a bunch of different photos of the people, the buildings, the landmarks, and all of the other details that make Portland different than … well, at least different from New York City.

Susie, you promised that you would come pick me up with your truck. You expect me to walk 5 miles to your house with this thing?

This is one of the four members of the musical group Alma Desnuda, which played some music during the farmer’s market.
