home rainy home

As of first thing this morning, I officially have a home in Portland! Woo-hoo! It's in the Goose Hollow area, which borders both the downtown area and the popular, posh neighborhood called Northwest, which is similiar in feeling to the Lincoln Park area of Chicago. The building (third pic) is similiar to the building I loved living in, The Graham, in Savannah---same era (late 1920's/early 1930's), vintage charm, brick exterior and my apartment has a BALCONY. I'm a very, very happy girl. And, most important, they accept dogs. See an aerial photo and read the stats of the area here. Now, to book a flight and make all the other complicated arrangements--least of all figuring out how to get a bed installed for my arrival.
