Finally, more is happening. What it is, I am not sure because there is nothing they tell us to describe it. Maybe it will be flower beds OR benches OR a place to recycle??????? I don't know. I just know the area was once named Turtle Place by the local Chinook Indians and it was a meeting place as well as a place to trade things and fish in the nearby Columbia River. I can hardly wait to see what is going to be there.
October 11th Update Well . . . now some of the markings are colored. . .
A bit of a mess at present but it may turn out great, pity to mess with the history that is already there. At Turtle Place refuse dept, a bit of a come down from Indians trading fish I think. I like the Indian story.
I am on my third digital camera, all Olympus. I enjoy using it and sharing my photos. I also enjoy writing. I hope to share a little of each on this blog. My main blog is Postcards From the Northwest.
Kerri and I will continue to add benches to "For the Love of Benches Continued . . . " blog also. It is good to continue to share with her!
Continuation of the Kiggins House Re-model photos were lost when my computer crashed.
The latest city project, TURTLE PLACE, will unfold here as I have time to add photos. It is complete and maybe I can find enough photos someday to show you the final results. Next project after the two I am working on now. . .

Well that is a lot of concrete that they are taking out. I bet they are going to put flowers and benches in there. That is one beautiful mural
It looks like they are going to be very busy for a while.
This is very interesting! I love the mural and wonder if whatever they are going to build or do there will hide it. That would be a shame.

So exciting! :) And great paintings walls at your posts below. I hope they'll take back (rename?) the name Turtle Place :)
we have here lots of construction sites... but they last since forever :))
I vote for benches and flower beds and - a turtle statue.
My Dad would love to do that, he loves tearing up stuff like that hehehe.
