two fun facts about this place: it was bombed just after prohibition ended during a power struggle between two beverage distribution syndicates

yes... "beverage distribution syndicates"

and it also burned down in 2002 so they painstakingly rebuilt it exactly how it was using repurposed materials from two period appropriate nearby barns

third fun fact if you take two little boys here they will house an absolutely obscene amount of pulled pork and churros

also: trucks

I ripped a skirt on a bench nail there. But it was a very full, colorful boho skirt, so I just darned it, & you can't see the mend. That's my RCT story.

Legends

And man that was confusing to my only-six-years-in-pdx mental map. We'd gone there once before the fire, then tried to find it after the fire but before the rebuilding and got COMPLETELY confused about where we were. (15 years later I was riding by there on the regular. My poor mental map.)

that looks like my kind of place, wow
