Crown Motel (Demolished)
Portland, OR Photo by RoadsidePeek.com
The Crown Motel of Portland, Oregon
still lights up a rather dark street along an interesting strip. It's
also quite fun to get yelled at while standing outside. Before the mass rail went in, the area seemed really dangerous and seedy. In fact, I was concerned when I was approached by a bicyclist while taking photos with a then seemingly expensive digicam and SLR. Roadsidepeek.com.
This 1959 motel is located at 5226 North Interstate Ave..
UPDATE 04/17 : The Crown Motel was demolished in April 2008. The sign was saved and was to have been restored. Another of the old Interstate Avenue seedy motels is now just a memory. 04-17
