edit: I found a version of this vid that is synced up, but I can't upload it to Youtube due to the 10 minute restriction. I uploaded this video years ago before they introduced that. I'll try to figure out a way to upload it in the future though, thanks for watching.

Yeah those pillars with the white artwork on them. I'm not sure where they were originally, but they took the pillars out and they're on display in the Pearl area now. 320 NW 10th Ave. I've been here for a couple years only and somehow I've randomly come across all the cool Elliott things here.

You talking about in the beginning? I live in Portland, 20 years now... trying to figure out where that is... near the waterfront? I thought it was inner east side though.
