Five States

Today we took the train to a cool little coffee shop in Portland called The Hoff. Some people might find the rain unsettling but I like it. Yesterday as I finished my pictures, the clouds broke for just a moment and I got the perfect picture of the Montgomery Park building which at one time was the Montgomery Ward mothership. Gene in the office told me all about it and we decided that the guy could have been a real jerk and ripped the sign off the top of the building. But instead he just changed two letters: WARD to PARK. Clever guy.

I've been hanging out with Brendan and so far we are most captivated by a little puzzle of the U.S. We counted five states between Portland and Chicago.
