Took Friday and Saturday off this week for a little holiday in Portland. Friday night was an outdoor Heart concert at the McMenamins Edgefield venue. Good concert for the money ($45.00), beer was great, night was excellent and the Wilson sisters did not disappoint. Was a little amazed about how many cover songs they did and the hits of their own that they passed over.
We couldn’t score rooms at McMenamins Edgefield, so that opened up the opportunity to try their McMinnville location, Hotel Oregon. This turned out to be my least favorite of their locations I’ve tried thus far but still a very nice place to stay. 
Here is some of the artwork from within McMenamins. 
After breakfast, did a little shopping and here are some metal sculptures from one vendor. 
I caught Benjamin Franklin on a park bench, he was enjoying the bright sunny morning. I had to get in a few words about a particular piece written by him in “The Poor Man’s Almanac”. 
I love it when someone does something original. In this case, why say “Open” or “Closed” when you can be more inventive?
