The PSAP railroad bridge, seen from the other side. Note that the undercrossing is very low, just above my head on the far side. Given the tall bush on the river bank, it would appear that the bridge has been opened very few times in recent history. Not surprisingly given the large amount of abandoned industrial space in the immediate area, there appeared to be homeless encampments in this area.

“And yet, beauty remains” (at the top) Lots of interesting material in this mix. I couldn’t find any reference as to the meaning of ‘accide’, but ‘hobone’ (at the bottom) means to have sexual relations with someone of a lower class (e.g., the hobo?). Then there’s the woman eating the mouse, and the decision sign for “church & pancake breakfast” or “hookers & black tar heroin”

In an alley in downtown Aberdeen, "Artists's Avenue". It was just luck to discover it, I saw no signs indicating its presence and could not find any information on the alley or its sponsorship.

Aberdeen WA D&R Theatre (#1342)

06 Aug 2016 245
D&R Theatre, built in 1923/24 as a vaudeville theatre, having gone through multiple remodelings, and now a performance space. There have been many modifications to the exterior, the marquee, and ticket booth, so it isn't clear how much this represents the original theater. Source: www.dandr.rocks/#!our-history/csxp

Looking further west from the viewing platform, on the left center of the picture in the distance is an active operation for log loading (per the sattellite view). The waterway here is the Chehalis River as it merges with the Hoquiam River and forms Grays Harbor.

Looking west, an area that appears to have once been part of a port but to have been in decline for many years.
