This is a spot I've taken a picture of before. And it's one I've been wondering about for a very long time.
Back in 2016, I decided to pull over and get a series of snaps of this house at 1008 NE 122nd Avenue. It had lain unused for a while but some basic maintenance was happening and it had a series of signs up front denoting it as the KIDANE MIHRET ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX TEWAHEDO CHURCH. The original blog post can be seen here: https://zehnkatzen.blogspot.com/2016/02/out122ndway-1008-ne-122nd-avenue-church.html. I had guessed that it was some sort of a church-in-waiting; what appeared to be a garage was fairly neat and trim and had a Latin cross on the door, and while the property was somewhat dissheveled from people throwing things onto the property, it was seen-to in a basic way.
That time has passed us by. This is what it looks like now:
One imagines the lot's soon to be sold, and real estate in Portland being what it is it will fetch a high price and become, most probably some sort of apartment silo of the kind we are so fond of these days (and which now also exists as a six-story apartment block on the northwest corner of 122nd and East Burnside).
Tempus fugit; sic transit gloria mundi and all that.
