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.

Similar to what Matt is saying...

How come this giant empty building hasn't turned into a squatter's paradise?

I live right behind WHS and it freaks me the fuck out. I can't wait to get wasted in it!

Wah. Who do I have to grease to get a photowalk inside Washington HS.

And to think the Red Cross was going to use the building for Katrina refugees in 2005.

Those photos are amazing!
I want to see more!

I want to work this event this year!

I worked the misstep.......

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.

So sad. PICA of no help in my quest to get inside to take photos of the building, due to liability concerns. Just make me sign a waiver, people.
