5th and Morrison - Portland, Oregon

It may have been called Fifth Street then, but it's 5th Avenue now and it's still a very busy street.  Many of the buildings are still standing. There is no longer a sacrificial policeman standing in the middle of the street though, in what is now considered the transit mall. It's not just buses either; there's also light rail, bikes, cars, and plenty of pedestrians. There are times when this traffic cop might come in handy.

  1. Guess the policeman is stopping traffic with his stare. The trees are a nice touch on the modern 5th avenue.
