St. Johns Bridge



The first time I crossed St. Johns Bridge from North Portland to Highway 30 I thought I was seeing a set piece from the Wizard of Oz. From the Wicked Witch of the West green metal to the ornate gothic towers that grace the only suspension bridge in Portland, I was transported not only across the Willamette River but also across the distance between dreams and reality. It's a fucking gorgeous bridge and I don't care who knows it!

Many years ago when I lived in Portland, I used the St. Johns Bridge to go to U.Portland, where I attended Grad School. Indeed a beautiful structure and much quicker to North Portland than commuting along I-5 from 24th and NW Vaughn.
