I love the look of this building, run down though it may be. For the five-plus years I’ve lived in North Portland, this has been a rough-around-the-edges car repair place. From the looks of the RV parked on the lot, I surmised that the owner lived on site. The whole lot was always full of rusted out cars.
So imagine my surprise one day when I noticed that everything was gone. What happened? Did the owner die? Run out of money? Decide to see the world? Retire? Also, what happened to all those non-working cars?
There’s a for-rent sign, so maybe something new will appear there. I doubt it though. I see a tear-down in the cards for this lot.

I always want to turn these sorts of gas stations into something super cool. A shop or restaurant of some sort. Sweets-to-Go? I love the idea. If only I was independently wealthy!
