As part of her own ongoing work, NHN Associate Felicia Williams recently presented research on urban development in North Portland in the 1960s. Larry Bingham provided an overview in his Oregonian article[1]. I recommend the article and the comment thread — most comment threads I’ve come across in the Oregonian are composed of anonymous vitriol, but this comment thread actually provides interesting content (in addition to a dash or two of vitriol).
I lament the scheduling conflict that did not allow for my attendance at Felicia’s talk!
