3200.
Last Sunday afternoon we were back on NW 11th, and instead of going straight into Powell's, we walked up a block.
This building, on the NW corner of NW 11th and Davis, now largely contains something called the "Pearl Auto Park". It's the sort of building you used to find throughout this section of town … this was part of the brewery district when Blitz was still being brewed here.
I can still smell the smell of brewing happening, in my mind. We've been haunting Powell's for that long, yes.
In front of us, now, The Arrmory, and the Gerding Theatre; much play happens there. The ziggurat beyond didn't exist ten years ago. This is such a different place now.
… but the buskers are still the same.
… and we have rail.
The block of NW 11th between Burnside and Couch, which I rhapsodized about last week, from a remove, with the Streetcar. The new-old debate of the geography is joined in earnest here. Whether or not it belongs, it's all here, now.

Back in the early '90s, when anime was not yet a popular thing in the US, that building sported Bubblegum Crisis graffiti.
