A continental touch for Tri-Met
The temporary bus stops that have been set up for the rip-out of Portland's transit mall are pretty bare-bones affairs. They certainly don't replicate the feel of the grand old kiosks that have been torn out of the mall and unceremoniously scrapped.
A transit-oriented reader sends along an interesting idea to help make the weary passengers' time at the temporary stops go by a little quicker. And Randy Gragg types, take note: It's already working in Europe.

That's not OLD Europe. In OLD Europe, it wouldn't be soft.

Sounds like a good idea. Liberal Portland should embrce the idea. It would be a pleasent distraction from all the wasted $$$ on tram, PGE Park, condor farms etc.
Thanks

I fully support all money diverted to any condor farms.

condor farms
A new Thanksgiving tradition is born! Keeping Portland weird.
I wonder what goes with roast condor? Well, aside from Oregon Pinot Noir...

Could change my mind about using mass transit... okay it won't but it will make it more interesting as I pass the bus stops.

A blog classic:
Condo farms no, condor farms sí.

And we would know where to find all the street folk at night...
