I'm really thrilled they're using Washington High School. That site has sat vacant for so long. People keep saying they want to take over the grounds and use them for a homeless camp, which might make for a nice piece of complementary performance art on opening night...
I do wonder what Mr.Sweeney thinks about all this, though.
I can't think of a site screaming more vociferously for a quality adaptive reuse. This is nice in the short-term; hope it gets the ball rolling for something more long-term. If one more building gets torn down for condos in SE before the building (and its massive adjacent fields) get restored/reused, then there's nobody at the wheel in Portland.

How come this giant empty building hasn't turned into a squatter's paradise?
I want to see more!
I want to work this event this year!
I worked the misstep.......
