Seen through the plate glass window of the Goodwill Store on West Burnside

Here's another photo that I took last Saturday when I was out and about. On the way back from getting my flu shot, I decided to branch out and ride the MAX Yellow Line, then the Portland Streetcar, then the 20 bus. After I got off the bus to walk to our apartment, I passed the first ever Goodwill Store I visited in Portland--back when Mama and I came to see the guys back in the summer of 2004--and now I live so close to it that I walk by each weekday on the way home.

Earlier in the week I had noticed these shoes, so you know how excited I was to see them again on Saturday! And to make things even better, I walked right in and found some paperback books that we haven't read yet, so I bought them and stuffed them into my Goodwill-purchased red Kate Spade handbag. I'm loving living in Portland!

And yet ...

With this set of four clear directions--the painted arrow on the pavement, the direction of the parked vehicles, the Exit sign, and the Do Not Enter sign--I've still seen a vehicle or two turn into this side of Elephant's parking lot. After work, I walk down the sidewalk once I get off the bus in front of the Goodwill on West Burnside.

Goodwill Stores and Halloween Costumes--They go together like trick or treating, ghosts and goblins, haunted houses and screams.

Last week I stepped off the No. 15 bus and saw these silver boots in the window of the Goodwill store on Burnside. Oh, to have younger legs and feet! I'd have flown through the automatic-opening-door in a flash, to buy them if they fit. I will have to settle for enjoying them in my photo because in a few days they were gone from the window. I'm hoping serendipity strikes and I come across the new owner who will agree to being photographed for the blog. Yep, this City Daily Photo Blog thing is great fun for me.
