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.

A welcoming message at 1136, 8 Ave. S.W., Calgary. Snapped in late 2016 … but I recall seeing this the last time I walked by.
