Punctuated

One of several characters part of a public art project embedded in the sidewalk at the Providence Park light rail station in Portland, Oregon. I didn’t notice them until my last visit to the city back in December — assuming they’ve been there for a while.

Portland, Oregon

The significance of the name of this Portland drinking establishment, Sidebar, didn’t hit me until just recently. It’s attached to a brewery. (Duh!) The photo is from my brief visit there a couple of months ago.
