The movie playing at Edgefield was the truly horrible Jupiter Ascending, which I did not want to subject myself to a second time. So soon after I returned from my visit, I set out for another McMenamins property: Kennedy School. Because the previous week my sum total exercise minutes were equal to 20 (my imaginary fitbit was not pleased) I walked there. Which means you get to see what’s going on in N/NE Portland.
I’m quite interested in this fence. Is there more to come? How did they decide on such a haphazard arrangement?
Good use for an old head/foot board, but I can’t help imagining how all the varnish will peel after a few years of exposure to the weather.
I like this porte-cochere added to this bungalow. I can tell it was added because the brick is different. Someone got tired of unloading the groceries in the rain.
Can you believe it? Lilacs are starting to bloom!
Well hello huge row house structure behind Walgreens that appeared seemingly overnight. I’m sure people who can afford to live in your “starts at $409,000” price will enjoy living here.
And right next to the brand new row house structure? This little friend. Who might not be long for this world.
I do appreciate how these new four-square-type new houses fit right in with the grand houses along this Boulevard.
Here you can see an original inhabitant of this street.
Bees were buzzing madly around this not-standard hive.
Should you have a spare $525,000, this stylish home is waiting for you. It has a gorgeously landscaped lawn.
This has more bedrooms, but a less attractive yard.
Turning the corner onto 33rd, you can see that this house isn’t interested in blending. Hello dark wavy metal siding.
Nice head/foot board use indeed.
Wow! We got nothing blooming yet. I am so excited for lilacs, which do not grow with much profusion in NoVa. They are everywhere here. I am even hoping to plant a few in our backyard. I adore them so. I will miss Magnolias and Crepe Myrtles. Oh and those, you know, Tidal Basin Cherry Blossoms!
That fence is so weird, and seems to defeat the purpose of a fence. Lilacs! One of my all-time favorite smells, and not too bad to look at either. I’m a bit surprised by how expensive those houses for sale are. They do look nicely renovated on the inside, but neither of them is to my taste on the outside (nice landscaping or no).
