Congress Street, Featuring Snow

First Snow

Portland received just over a foot of snow today according to my sources (local meteorologists). As it was not a weekday today I was able to wander around during the the day and get photos of the fresh snow and the quiet streets. Here are two shots from Exchange Street. 

Road Salt

Looks like the city's supply of salt is ready for the first big snowstorm of the season, due to start any minute now:

Stay tuned for some snow-themed photos tomorrow. I still have a lot of photos from the last few months that need to be shared also, so expect a mix of snowy and non-snowy photos over the next few weeks.

Holiday Art Walk 2013

A view of this evening's popular First Friday / Holiday Art Walk event in which a portion of Congress Street was closed off for pedestrians only. It was great to see so many people out and about enjoying the city on what turned out to be a relatively warm and rain-free evening.
