Beautiful day to be out & about! We are getting some extra summer for the next week!
Thanks for the great photographic exposition Portlander!
 
My pleasure! I will add that the walking excursion around the city today was an improvement over my last visit. The Monument Square area was clean and pretty much free of the homeless and drug users that were prevalent a few months ago. In addition, there also appeared to be less graffiti at street level which is a positive sign. The renovations to the Time & Temperature and Fidelity Buildings are absolutely vital to the survival and improved appearance of that stretch of Congress Street. The Old Port and Commercial Street districts were vibrant and still full of tourists even without a cruise ship in port.

Can anyone with some urban landscaping knowledge tell me the purpose of this black wall? I got up close to it and noticed some odd objects attached to it with no rhyme or reason. Thought it was going to be a water feature originally?
 
Let's hope this space doesn't become a camp ground or sleeping area.
