can one of you nerds identify the style of this building? i really like it. the whole town (Arlington) was relocated in 1960ish by the army corps after it was planned to be flooded by the John Day dam.

really frustrating that these 5 options for going south of Portland on transit are effectively two given the times of departure
like why do we have nothing until 11am, 3 southbound trips from 11am-noon, and then another few clustered around 6pm?
nothing between 2 and 5, and 6-930.

"this city was built for cars", people say.
Portland's development patterns centered around the streetcar network up until its removal in the 1920s. each dot represents an existing building, with oranges and reds showing buildings constructed after 1925.
