SAY HELLO/WAVE GOODBYE: I was on an odd downtown walk today. Something like the winds of a ghost town swept past me. There’s this awkward sense of renewal and change about. I noticed the Sports Museum was closed (evidentally seeking a new location), the Broderick Gallery recently moved to Lake Oswego and someone new was moving in. On the other side of town it seems Quality Pictures will be closing soon - leaving this economic downturn in its wake and contemporary photography enthusiasts with one less regional venue. Reminds me of that ole Soft Cell tune.
