Even though I'm a great supporter of re-using and re-purposing existing structures, something about demolition of buildings nearly always is exciting to watch. Here we can see the last few hours in the life of the doorway.
And here a view of the back side of the building. I hadn't realized it was as big as it was.
I'm unsure of how this graffito came to be on this wall, but now it is exposed for all to see.
To read more about Satyricon and the new building click here for an Oregonian article. (Demolition begins on building that once housed Satyricon Nightclub. July 27, 2011.)
And here is a link about the final concert at Satyricon. (Portland Nightclub Satyricon says farewell with series of reunion shows. October 16, 2010)
Nice coverage! I like that you were mentioned in the article: "passers-by and people waiting at the MAX station watched with cameras poised." Too bad that cute doorway had to go!!! How nice that t will be affordable living space!
