8th and Holman Intersection Repainting

The huge and beautiful street mural at NE 8th and Holman street in Portland, Oregon will be repainted on Sunday and Monday May 27th/28th. The event is open to the public. There's a video farther down this page documenting the creation of the painting.

Rain Footprints

A few blocks away is an intersection bearing dozens of footprints in cement. When it rains, water falls only into some of these footprints, and at night, the light glimmers off the top of the rainwater therein. This gives the long trail of 'shoes' a visual and emotional appeal. Someone caught the cement when it was fresh years ago, and walked about as if having fun, which lends a characteristic feature to the street.
