I think the new SoWa lamp posts sound really cool, but I beleive in consistancy and don't think there's anything wrong with the 1920's ones that are in use now.
I hate to beat a dead horse but have you noticed the fancy light posts in the auditorium district. They don't look so modern anymore.

i think that building that was sold was the brick office park-looking building just north of the ross island bridge.

mopidaho: do you mean the 1960s cobra lights, the new ones installed with the streetcar line or other ones?

MOPIdaho · #63 Posted **Apr 4, 2006, 4:43 AM**

I like the ones on the streetcar line, it's the the ones with the globes that I have the beef with.

pdxstreetcar · #64 Posted **Apr 4, 2006, 5:47 AM**

oh yeah those globe lights are more 60s than woodstock

The ones I saw (though I'm not sure they were finalized), were cylindrical. Very modern looking. But at the same time, I don't think they'll ever go out of style.

I think this:

They have this fan shaped canopy that will shield pedestrians from the rain while they wait at the corners to cross a street.

is innovative and brilliant!

I like that the Meriwether Towers are not identical.

I was down there just yesterday, didn't take any pics, but I can say things are coming along quite nicely. The streetcar tracks have been extended to SW Gibbs as of now - and the first station is already in place.

Hey, just dropped by SoWa to check out the progress. Curry St hasn't opened yet, but it looks about ready for move in. Anyhow, here's a photo from my short visit. Took it with my new Digital Rebel XT which I unfortunately don't have any Canon lenses for yet, so I dropped in one of my manual Nikkor lenses with an adaptor. Unfortunately, it's a bitch to focus because it focuses past infinity. Anyhow, I took a bunch and stitched it together with this cool free program called "autostitch". Voila! The photo was just taken for fun since not much has changed other than the John Ross going up a few more stories.

I love the topped out John Ross! The white crane might need to be raised a bit and those ugly PS building will be gone by then ;-)

That's pretty cool, thanks!

Ptown · #77 Posted **Apr 22, 2006, 6:55 PM**

i did that in photoshop

zilfondel · #78 Posted **Apr 22, 2006, 10:21 PM**

I have a whole bunch of pics I took, but I'm having internet troubles. Here's #1:

zilfondel · #79 Posted **Apr 22, 2006, 10:34 PM**

And the rest!

I apologize for some of the curving, my camera sucks (Nikon 2100), and I may have been off kilter a little bit on some of the shots. Also, I had to stitch one pic together to get the entire thing.

the detail to those towers is looking much nicer.
