notes toward a pscyhogeographic map of Portland

NW Hoyt and 6th induces desire to go missing.

NW Hoyt and Broadway induces fear of earthquake and desire to take off shoes

NW 23rd induces to confusion and craving for black and white movies. Also to spy, and to push people out of my way on the sidewalk (though I don't do this).

SE Hawthorne induces to hunger for sugar, craving beneath tongue.

More to come.

Tomorrow, I will use a Seattle map to explore Portland.

inspired by the work of the Situationists

I am waiting in my little cubicle for your communique regarding exploring Portland with a Seattle map.

I wonder if there will be photos of corners you mention in the future...I want esp. to see NW Hoyt and 6th, that "induces desire to go missing."

These keys (as I am likening them to) induce hunger for more, and for running away to only drink coffee and write. Thank you...

I really like this post. I can really creates a sense of awareness of the beauty and different emotions caused by my surroundings. I sometimes analyze old, abandon buildings. The conversations held, the emotions felt, the energy that used to be passed from person to person. All of which are long gone, only to leave a quite and lonely spirit. Sometimes it makes my hair stand. I like to hear the silence, smell the old dust, and think about the people that used to work or live in the building. And question, what are they doing at that moment , are they even alive, how long has this place been so lonely? I saw some photography last, 1st Thursday that captured this feeling. I really developed a deep respect for the artist. I hope to read more from this post.
