We Portlanders really do live in Eden 
Place taken: 12th floor of Spalding Building, Portland, Oregon 97204
Picture and following description from Wikipedia:
The Spalding Building, formerly the Oregon Bank Building is a historic office building in downtownPortland, Oregon. Since 1982, it has been on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
Architect Cass Gilbert worked on the American Renaissance-style Spalding building while also working on the Woolworth Building in New York City. Completed in 1911, it was considered a skyscraper.[3]
The building contains 12 above-ground floors, and its construction mimics a classical column: A base, a shaft, and a capital.[4]
From a bit back: Update: OPB discovers that Metrofi is crap unless you are Kristian Foden-Vencil ( or at the Thirsty Lion)
And now–JAX (jaxbar.com)
So, I was at Jax (jaxbar.com) the other day and connected to Metro-Fi while they reset their modem…here is what you see. I took these shots using the Macbook/Apple Grab application.
Above are pics of that (the screen shots) plus the pics I took from my camera when connecting to Metro-Fi through my phone at the Thirsty Lion.
Notes:
This October we have a very special show dedicated to female artists in Portland. The show features new paintings, collages, illustrations, comics, zines, sculptures, mobiles, and embroideries from some of this town’s most exciting artists - all of which happen to be female.

By the way, I like college football. So, after work yesterday, I went over to the Thirsty Lion to watch Rutgers “play” Navy. Amazingly, I was able to connect to Metrofi there and be directed to their lovely 1 megabyte Msn.com page on my cell phone.
Are they owned by Microsoft? They are in Mountain View (so why not Google?). What is the real relationship here b/w them, Microsoft, and the Shaolin shadowboxing Ruckus modem makers?
Below you will see my original post (which got some great comments/insight) as well as what MetroFi sent me…
Now to be honest, I have never ventured down to First Thursday. Mostly because I am lazy and I have other priorities on Thursdays. Tonight though, I want to put plug in for March Fourth Marching Band. They are playing at Mark Wooley’s EPONYMOUS Gallery at 817 2nd Ave around 8 PM.
March Fourth Marching Band is about to embark on a fall tour and only have a few home dates left. They will also be playing Saturday at the Muddy Boot Organic Festival.
Under the sunny skies of early September, people from the Portland Area will experience a vibrant and enriching event. With live music, wine, and food you will experience an event like no other in Oregon. The booths, workshops, speakers and walking tours of local sustainable projects will allow you to share in the experience of living naturally.
Anyway, I am sure tonight’s concert will be much cheaper than the tickets for the Muddy Boot Organics Festival. So if you are out and about around First Thursday activities go check out March Fourth Marching Band - it will be a fun time.

Just stumbled (StumbleUpon Portland?) across this…wow
“Between 11 March 2003 and 15 March 2003, Bill Brown of the New York Surveillance Camera Players was in Portland, Oregon. Brought to the “Rose City” by the independent arts group Red76, Bill began his stay by making maps of locations of surveillance cameras installed in public places.”
2003…I wonder what that map would look like now…20 times as many?
