Met the kids for lunch today at Cheryl's in downtown Portland. Standing outside waiting on everyone to show up I looked around and decided the scene was worth some photos. Brian Micklethwait's posts might have something to do with that.

A pair of brand new buildings
|
The one on the left has an external fire escape. From where I was standing it looked there was a ladder going straight up on the outside of the fire escape balconies. I don't know why you would need that when you have stairs. But now when I look at the photo, it appears that the ladder rungs are simple dividers in the windows and there is no ladder. Weird. |

Our dining pod
|
Our pod was one of half a dozen or so in a row, right out in the street. I've noticed this trend in a couple of other trendy areas. I don't like it, I think it's stupid and dangerous.
Bill was a shade over $100 for six people, no alcohol. I got the Portuguese fried rice which seemed to be a specialty. It was fine, but I think next time I'll get an omelette or French toast.
