Camping Now Across Street

March 13 Update - clear

March 4, 2017 Campsite on East Side of NW 4th Avenue between Davis and Couch Streets (see previous blogpost) was moved and a railing built to discourage further camping. But not to worry, new campsites across street have sprung up. Saturday morning, March 4, 2017

A Railing Deters Street Camping

This building is on NW 4th Avenue at Davis Street in the New Chinatown Japantown Historic District in the Old Town section of Portland, Oregon.  This property, long vacant with broken jagged windows, now has a second floor tenant, after the building was repaired and upgraded, but the first floor remains empty.  A railing was added by the landowner to deter camping and street gatherings under the portico especially useful during winter rains and very hot summer days.
