old photos

Today, the storefront looks almost the same, but what's inside has changed a lot.

I love old photographs and recently I came across a photo from the 1950's showing what the street I grew up on looked like twenty years before I lived there.

Portland's growth has brought new developments over the last 100 years. Buildings are torn down, new structures are built in their place, and the skyline changes each year. Here are a few of the buildings that have been demolished in Portland and what now stands in their place.

One of my favorite parts of going through my parents things, were all the photos they saved. I had no idea they were holding onto some of these...

With the passing of mom, I was going through some of her things and came across some really amazing old photos - including this gem. Yes, that is the Voornas clan.
