Countin' Flowers On The Wall...

....Smokin' Cigarettes And Watchin' Captain Kangaroo.

A reference to an old Statler Brothers song, released late 1965.

This is an eighteen foot wide cinder block wall and I think this mural has been on Division Street at least as long as we have been here, circa 2001. It is a tad weary, mostly because it is amongst many shiny new mixed use buildings that have taken over this area over the past four years or so. Hundreds of new apartments and dozens of local businesses have sprung up, and how!

A most Portland song by White Glove, called Division Street aims at the new order happening. If I posted this song once before, I don't remember. So!
