Wow that's nuts. Darcelle's Female Impersonators was a beloved Portland Landmark. I lived in the Pearl District and Chinatown border during my college years so it was always part of life there.

Nice piece! Thanks for sharing. I grew up going to Harstine and fell in love with the sea there. I can’t remember if it was a local store or not but my parents let me buy four diver figurines somewhere nearby which I still have today, 30 years later. Ended up becoming a dive instructor!

The mayor was on TV yesterday and said the city was basically out of money. The mass shooting earlier this year required a huge amount of resources to manage all of the security, emergency services, legal costs, and so on. Not to mention the loss of business and tourism revenue. Now with the historic storm they just simply don't have enough resources to manage.
