I took this Tuesday at about 5:45 p.m. as I waited to catch the #15. Instead of going west towards home, I traveled east to Nostrana to meet Lamont so that we could eat dinner where Leland and Lindsay were working. Fun, great company and great food.

I've got to wonder, just what does "Stop is on the near side of the intersection" mean?

Looks like Pioneer Courthouse square. Is it? I rode Max last time I was in Portland. Here in Seattle I only ride the bus about once or twice a year. Usually ride my scooter instead.
Do they have every single stop described like this? I think they may be getting a bit that way here though. There is a local online journey planner that I access sometimes just for fun and often it'll suggest that you walk 3 miles!
B & W is an excellent choice for this photo. Nice job!!
Nice photo and interesting read.
W are lucky if a bus turns up, never mind all the info. It's a great b& w shot, the contrast spot on.
That means watch out if it is on the Far Side, it could be whacked out and scary! LOL
Love this photo and nice touch with the black and white. This is definitely an interesting idea for a series ... I am looking forward to it!!
A well organized transit stop. I like your black and white rendition.
Look what Anonymous left for us at Mama and Me from PDX:
Re: nearside, if you are walking in the direction of traffic at an intersection, and the stop is before you cross the street, it is on the nearside. If the stop is after you cross the street it is farside.
Thanks, Anonymous!
