Greyhound Memoirs #21

FINAL DESTINATION
5/19/01 3:10pm PST

My bus is entering Portland. It looks sort of lie Chicago; lots of run down little houses next to the Interstate. Holy shit, I just saw an ad for health insurance for pets. Fucking hippy town.

Big buildings coming up around the bend. Wow, a city. A real city, but so green (not bathed in concrete gray like so many). MAX train, not-so-distant cousin of San Francisco’s BART. “Amazon.com Wouldn’t Fit Here”, the side of a huge building reads as we cross the Willamette River into downtown Portland.

I hope I fit here...
