Discovering downtown

Wow . . . so I just discovered this unfinished post from about 3 1/2 months ago. . . oops!  Back in August we decided to take a trip downtown via the MAX.  It was a blast!  The MAX is a fairly nice ride for public transportation, and the best part: we didn't have to try and find parking.  Sweet! 


We visited the food carts and enjoyed some amazing pizza at "Give Pizza a Chance".  This place bursts with flavor, and the guy who runs it - super friendly and a riot to talk to. 


We decided to find this small park dedicated to some early firefighters in Portland, one of whom is Dan's distant relative, T. Grenfell. 


You can see, the park isn't kept in the best repair, but it was fun to make another 'family discovery' in how we are connected to Portland.

  1. Very cool that you saw T. Grenfell. I haven't seen this park before - I'll have to look it up.

  2. I had heard that was there. I had also heard that we had family at that memorial. Thanks for finding it and sharing. The G in Dad's name was Grenfell.
