Isn't that white "finger" also known as the "bird?"

Pointing the wrong direction.

If I hang up 30 pictures and display an odd collection of 20 3D objects and allow 3 people a day to visit can I get an exemption from payment of property taxes?
Would that building be just the right size for a new Stock Exchange where only the stock of companies that require the application of Oregon law for all their transactions could be traded? It could even be organized as a non-profit.

Is Kiddie Hall going to provide funding for this too?
It sure sounds like the sort of "investment" that the SamRand twins love.

An apt symbol of the gentrification of Portland: a building that formerly employed many people in productive labor will now be remodeled into an art gallery.
If they throw in a McMennamins and an Urban Grind, the trifecta will be complete.
Bonus Points if they turn the on-street parking into a bike boulevard.
