Text and Photographs by K.B. DIXON
This is the fifth and final installment of A Portland Journal—a short series looking back at the city of Portland before the pandemic, social justice protests, and a homeless crisis ravaged it. It has been said (way too often) that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. The hope here is that those who remember it might profit from a reminder, and that this reminder might prove a provocation; might, in fact, influence one’s perceptions of the possible.
