Is that top one a dentist?????? Ouch!!

Every time I go to my dentist I give thanks for living now and not 100 years earlier.

The top one is a barber and a shoe shine guy and a dentist -- all in one chair. Ouch is right.

It's right in the heart of Portland

Well, there's the problem. Does anybody visit "the heart of Portland" anymore - aside from panhandlers? I can't remember the last time I actually stopped in the ghostland, though it was before they installed the solar parking thingies, whenever that was.

I HAVE been there. Its amazing to look at toys from a century ago but also marvel at toys you unwrapped under the tree when you were a kid...and most in mint condition. We spent hours there and I'm sure we just scratched the surface. The room full of old banks alone is worth the trip.

The Advertising Museum? ...oh, right, it's gone too. Of course Metro offices are there now, so it still sorta' counts as an advertising museum, right?

Max, you must have missed John Benton's post with the address, or you'd have realized that the "heart" of Portland includes the east side. You know, the part of Portland where most of the people live.

As for the Advertising Museum, Old Zeb, the original space when it opened in the late '80s was Erickson's Saloon, at NW 2nd & Burnside, across from what was then the offices of Willamette Week, now the site of Barracuda, "Portland's Premiere Nightclub." The AAM spent it's last years in Chinatown, not where Metro built its offices, although I think that building's gone as well.

Jack, I'm sure this hidden treasure would love it if you just came out and told people where it was.

John Benton got it, above. Kidd's Toy Museum.

I really liked the bust/bank of Lucky Lindy. People really loved him. I also liked the model and a few pieces of the Battleship Oregon.
