this is part of the first friday art walk happening every month in portland. i can imagine that while this display is still unusual in that context, a lot more people are going to be out looking for interesting stuff, and i'd like to think that at least once in a while an interesting conversation will happen. maybe someone collecting screws or nuts or even offers to add to the collection or someone working with these with their own stories to tell.
I looked at the photo before I read the tweet itself and was thinking that corner looked familiar! That’s the corner where Congress and Free St, right? I’d recognize it anywhere - when my kid was still small, the children’s museum was still there and I’ve walked past that spot a million times.
