Unique indeed. I passed the front of the building so many times, but I don't think I ever saw this entrance. Good capture.
ReplyDeleteAs for yesterday, I was atoning.
Why do they call it "freshman alley"?
ReplyDeleteI think it's the Frosh Entrance to the school.
ReplyDeleteThat's very interesting. Why so much diversity in a local high school, or does it go out of its way to attract internationally? It must! That's fascinating. BTW, I'll be enjoying your blog. Most of my time in Portland years ago (one day, actually one evening) was spent after dark trying to find my way out of a poorly-marked industrial area while running low on gas. It was a little scary.
